Does Cheap Domains offer anything to prevent me from getting spammed?
Yes. Cheap Domains provide spam and virus filtering that helps keep your email spam and virus-free. All incoming email messages are automatically scanned to detect for viruses and to determine if the message meets specially defined "spam criteria."

Our standard spam filtering system, which utilizes SpamAssasin, is built around a set of spam rules that have been carefully developed to provide you protection from spam while reducing the number of valid email messages that may be mistakenly categorized as spam.

All incoming emails are evaluated against these spam rules and are assigned a "spam score." This score determines whether the message will be classified as spam. For standard filtering, the threshold is set at 5, meaning any message with a score of 5 or higher is classified as spam. Messages scoring between 5 and 10 will be delivered, but will include a spam notification in the subject of the email so that you can immediately identify and delete these messages. The following illustrates a sample subject line of an email message that scores between 5 and 10.

*****SPAM*****FREE PAY-PER-VIEW for life!

Messages that receive a spam ranking above 10 are automatically deleted so that they do not end up in your in-box.

Do I have access to my account 24 hours a day?
Yes you will have complete access control to all your accounts 24 hours a day.
