London, United Kingdom - (Website Hosting Directory) - March 20, 2007 - Web hosting company for UK and USA based web companies, UnitedHosting, has introduced its recent hardware-based spam and virus filtering solution, Mailfoundry to its portfolio of services.

Dedicated MailFoundry servers sit in front of the companies existing email servers protecting customers from the latest spam, virus and phishing based emails. Mailfoundry’s spam filtering minimises false positives ensuring UnitedHosting customers receive only genuine email with less than a 1 in 1 million chance of legitimate email being quarantined. Much like a PC virus scanner, MailFoundry uses definitions which are updated every 5 minutes by real human spam editors to ensure even the most recent spam outbreaks are filtered guaranteeing maximum effectiveness.

Following UnitedHosting’s own research in late 2006, it was no surprise that results highlighted ‘spam’ to be the number one concern for the majority of customers. Matthew Wallis, Director of United Communications Ltd. commented, “99.99% uptime is all well and good, but when our own consumer research presented us with spam as the number one concern, we took this as an opportunity to respond to our customers needs. MailFoundry was the answer.”

MailFoundry has been added to UnitedHosting shared and reseller hosting packages at no extra charge, adding more value to existing service for all of its customers. In addition, UnitedHosting was voted #1 UK Shared Web Hosting provider at UK Web Host Directory for February 2007 for the best performing company under this category.
