Posted in Company News,Technology

We are excited to announce that Adhost now offers Microsoft’s newly released ASP .NET 4.0 on all of our shared Windows hosting plans. ASP.NET 4.0 is the newest version of Microsoft’s web application framework and allows programmers to build dynamic web sites and web applications. You can learn more about ASP.NET 4.0 on this ASP.NET blog.

Existing sites for Adhost clients will remain set to 2.0. All new sites will be set to 4.0 (there is no 3.0 or 3.5 selection, that functionality is included in 2.0 and 4.0). We do not plan to install 4.0 on our Windows 2003 servers, and clients on our Windows 2003 servers desiring 4.0 will need to be migrated to our Windows 2008 servers.

How to limit junk email

Posted in Technology

Even though our spam filters and other techniques reject 19 out of 20 emails sent to our clients’ POP accounts, we are realize that everyone is still getting junk emails. Here are two things you should check which could help:

1. If you have a catch-all account which receives email to anything@yourdomain.com, turn it off. Here are instructions for catch-all mailboxes.

2. You can adjust the spam filter level on your Adhost pop account(s) by logging into your client control panel and selecting “Email Manager.” Read more about how to adjust email filters.

Note: that these fixes only apply to Adhost clients with POP accounts on our mail servers, not clients with email aliases which we forward to POP accounts hosted elsewhere.
