Wilmington, DE (PRWEB) October 24, 2008 -- In September 2008 EstDomains, Inc, (http://estdomains.com), a US-based domain name Registrar, announced a great cleanup season among the accounts registered under the name of the company. The new advanced account monitoring system has been applied in order to reveal the possible presence of corrupted data outgoing from the domain names purchased from EstDomains, Inc and every single account has been scanned thoroughly; thousands of domain names were irreversibly suspended as a result.
As it has been announced previously, EstDomains, Inc management has carefully revised the Acceptable Usage Policy and several critical amendments have been applied. Once again it should be noted that the company has its ultimate right to act against account holders who: involve their domain in spam messages sending, storing or spreading materials of certain abusive content, and using the unlawful software that provides an unauthorized access to private and billing information. Storing or distributing malicious software, such as worms and viruses and deliberate misleading website visitors into giving away credit card details officially, also known as phishing, officially falls under criminal law and is strongly prohibited by EstDomains, Inc policy.
One should proceed to EstDomains, Inc homepage at: http://estdomains.com in order to find more details about aspects prohibited by the AUP. In accordance with amended policy, all the domain names registered with EstDomains, Inc had to undergo the thorough checkup for possible traces of prohibited activity presence.
The company's statistics shows that about thousands of domain names have been suspended for being privy to threatening Internet user's safety. The owners of suspended domains were immediately deprived of their accounts along with the rest of domain names and funds without any right to claim the compensation. In order to prevent such customers from being able to continue with their illegal activity, the new advanced and more efficient account monitoring system has been applied to the services provided for domain name registration. Various details, such as IP addresses, minute payments descriptions, personal data analysis, accounts sign up logs and so on, are used for the creation of a common pattern, which indicates characteristic features of one particular person.
These patterns are used for further investigations that are being led in order to recognize corrupted account holders from other law-abiding customers. EstDomains, Inc (http://estdomains.com) will not tolerate the involvement of its good name in spamming or malware distribution and will cease suspected accounts without dispute.
In order to avoid unpleasant incidents and long-term arguing EstDomains, Inc management team once again asks its current and potential customers to read through the company's Acceptable Usage Policy before registering a domain name. Only the close cooperation of the online services providers and webmasters will make Internet safer and is greatly appreciates by common users. The company also addresses the online-oriented community and asks to submit the reports for the domain names that are exposed as the infringement of Internet user's security or interests to: https://support.estdomains.com.
