ValueReseller Web Hosting Partners with Reflexion Networks

Web hosting provider ValueReseller has partnered with Reflexion Networks, the leader in address-based email threat protection, to protect its reseller community and small and midsize business customers from spam, viruses and identity theft.

ValueReseller provides a unique, multi-platform web hosting system that enables resellers to offer premium web hosting, email and e-commerce services under their own brand. With Reflexion's Total Control (TC) technology, ValueReseller's hosting companies can provide their customers with affordable, proactive control over their inbox for a safe and pristine email experience every day.

Lack of confidence in email is a well-chronicled problem, resulting in wasted end-user time and direct IT expenditures. Most small and midsize businesses don't have the time and resources to evaluate email security solutions, and rely on their web hosting partner to provide this expertise. By integrating Total Control into its email security service, ValueReseller offers its hosting partners a uniquely effective solution that protects their infrastructure from directory harvest attacks and prevents spam, phishing attacks and viruses from reaching users' inboxes.

"Despite our best efforts with other products, we always found that spam continued to be a significant problem. Reflexion Total Control gives us a more proactive, effective and durable solution that protects our resellers and customers from spam, viruses, phishing and dictionary attacks," said Tom Mulkern, CEO of ValueReseller. "Total Control vaporizes dictionary attacks before they hit our network, saving valuable bandwidth. Its unique Protective Address Defense enables us to leapfrog the email initiatives of much larger companies, and provide our customers with an unparalleled level of control over access to their inbox."

With Reflexion's highly configurable solution, users have the ability to control their inbox, assuring delivery of desirable content and blocking the delivery of undesirable content. An easy-to-use Control Panel at the bottom of every email provides a simple means for users to update their allow/deny selections as necessary, resulting in a service tailored to each individual's needs. In addition, Reflexion's unique Protective Address Defense, with "Address-on-the-Fly," empowers users to disclose a purpose-specific address to web merchants, online newsletters and friends/family to ensure their mail gets delivered, regardless of content. Reflexion's unique approach alleviates user concerns about ISPs erroneously blocking the mail that they want.

"Our goal is to restore confidence in email by giving users the tools that they need to use email, e-commerce and the Internet in general without fear of digital assault and battery," said David Hughes, CEO of Reflexion Networks. "Total Control is the ideal solution for web hosting companies and ISPs that want to protect their customers from rapidly evolving email threats. Our solution invests in users both control and accountability -- they make their own decisions about the senders who are permitted to communicate with them, which they can change at any time if a sender abuses their privilege of access. As a result, ValueReseller's customers can enjoy renewed confidence and trust in their email experience."
