June 8, 2006 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – Web hosting provider 1&1 Internet (http://www.1and1.com) has announced updated SPAM protection for its customers alongside the introduction of a new Map and Driving Directions (MDD) product to web hosting packages. The MDD’s features include a picture image and detailed directions to a specified address.
“Today, most customers check the web before selecting a business or service,” suggested 1&1 Internet Chairman, Andreas Gauger. “Identifying the physical location of a specific address and how to get there is also becoming an integral part in how people select those businesses and services. In addition, businesses can add the MDD to their web site to make even easier to attract customers.’
The company’s updated spam features include a “blacklist” which automatically moves target emails to a spam folder and is constantly updated with a global list of spammers. In addition, the spam protection offers a “whitelist” which enables selected emails to bypass spam filters.
“Security is key on the Internet today for businesses and especially for consumers,” continued Gauger. “Our proprietary technology and constant monitoring provide piece of mind for our customers. We believe that the updated spam protection and the map provide our customers with a very useful and practical set of features.”
