Oct 23, 2006 : Cord Hosting Partners with Katharion

📅 October 23, 2006 - Web hosting provider Cord Hosting (cordhosting.com) announced on Monday it has partnered with email security firm Katharion (katharion.com) to offer anti-spam and antivirus solutions.


The partnership, which enables Cord Hosting to use and resell Katharion's enterprise level email security products, has been in development for three months and users can now purchase mail filtering services from Cord Hosting for $1.10 per mailbox per month.

To use the Katharion's mail security, users just update their mail MX addresses to point to a Katharion mail filtering server. No special software or client-side configuration is required, and users do not need to be hosting customers of Cord Hosting. Features of Katharion's service include mail authenticity checks and message fingerprinting, whitelists and domain history lists, real-time message source analysis and dynamic feedback-based optimization.

"We are excited to be able to deliver enterprise level email security solutions to our small-to-medium sized business customers. Large corporations readily spend thousands each month on dedicated, hardware-based mail filters, but for many of our customers, that simply isn't a possibility," says Errett Cord, founder and president of Cord Hosting. "Our partnership with Katharion allows us to deliver these much needed email solutions at a fraction of the cost."
