We are ending the fourth month of 2025, and we have been very busy at Simply Web Services this year. First, we upgraded all the website hosting packages, adding a ton more space and features to each one. We have also added ‘OOPSpam‘ to our list of services offered to all our website design projects.

What is OOPSpam?

OOPSpam is an advanced layer of spam detection that features automatic detection, is privacy-friendly, and doesn’t require CAPTCHA or puzzles to be solved, achieving 99.9% accuracy.

OOPSpam uses an Up-to-date Machine Learning model and a cocktail of unique measurements to fight spam before it reaches you. It learns and adapts to your use case automatically with 99.99% accuracy.

Most spam detection relies on user tracking and/or using your customers’ data without their consent.

OOPSpam works differently and is able to maintain its high accuracy without storing or using your data.

Prevent spam attacks without sacrificing accessibility and say goodbye to puzzles and UX (user experience) roadblocks, which negatively affect your conversions.

And it does not slow down your website, as it runs entirely on the server-side.

In late 2024, we upgraded our servers to significantly more powerful ones, along with new software applications.  Additionally, we have installed CloudLinux OS, Imunify360, and “Mail.Baby” on our servers.

CloudLinux

We switched from AlmaLinux OS to CloudLinux OS, which provides a much more stable operating system (OS) for our servers to run on. The main feature of CloudLinux OS is the Lightweight Virtual Environment (LVE), which is a separate environment with its own CPU, memory, IO, IOPS, number of processes, and other limits for each website hosted. This means that you get a much more robust and stable operating system per website.

Imunify360

Imunify360 is a comprehensive security suite that provides Antivirus, Firewall, a Web Application Firewall (WAF), a PHP security layer, Software Patch management, and Domain Reputation for all hosted websites. This was a huge step up from what we were using in the past. Imunify360 also stops malicious PHP scripts, both new and old, preventing them from running on our servers.

Mail.Baby

Mail.Baby scans every outgoing email to make sure that it meets all the requirements and limits set on the server, such as whether it is clean from malware, whether it is SPAM, and whether it is within the daily email limits set on the server. It also keeps our email servers from being blacklisted in the event someone reports it for sending SPAM. Inevitably someone sends out an email that gets reported as spam and our server gets added to a blacklist about one a quarter. And it can take some significant work to get your IP removed from some blacklists.
