eNom Launches RichContent Website Service

August 14, 2009 · Filed Under Business NEWS · Comments 

ICANN accredited registrar, Enom Inc. announced, in a presentation at HostingCon, that it has launched its new RichContent service, a subscription service designed to provide website operators with article, blog and video content to supplement their existing site content.

The service, available as a reseller service to resellers of eNom’s web hosting and domain registration services, as well as to hosting providers that don’t resell eNom’s other services, provides website operators with access to an enormous base of content that can be inserted into their own sites via a selection of widgets.

The objective of the service, says Sheridan, is to enable hosting providers to offer their customers a means of better engaging visitors to their sites, creating more successful projects among hosting customers.

“If we do our job right,” says Sheridan, “this is so easy and such a good end user experience that, basically, the compelling content will drive enough end user engagement that I want to start seeing a lift on hosting renewals.”

You might have seen many web sites marked as “Reported Attack Site!” by Google with following message:

This web site at XXXXX.com has been reported as an attack site and has been blocked based on your security preferences.

Attack sites try to install programs that steal private information, use your computer to attack others, or damage your system.

Some attack sites intentionally distribute harmful software, but many are compromised without the knowledge or permission of their owners.

Now a day, such type of attacks on the web sites are common. There are few reasons in which Google marks the web site as harmful site. Some of them are as follow:

[1] If your web site pages are infected with malicious IFrame or JavaScript code. Generally, such Iframe and JavaScript codes link your web site to another maleware site.

[2] Your site is hosting phishing page.

There are many reasons for JavaScript and Iframe code injection in your web sites.

[1] If you have installed updated version of third party scripts, template, theme etc.

[2] The tird party scripts which you are using in your web site are not secure.

[3] Your FTP password is compromised.

[4] The system from which you are managing your web site is infected by Maleware, Trojan, Spyware, Virus etc.

[5] Insecure folder permissions set in your web site.

To remove “Reported Attack Site!” tag from your web site at the earliest, you can use Google Webmaster Tools to analyze your web site. Using this tools, you can easily find the infected pages of your web site and then you can resubmit the request to Google.

Hope this will help you! :)
