Let your clients know about our free service and reduce costs!
Spam Statistics provided by various large organizations show that the cost of Spam for Web hosting providers and ISPs is not at all a neglectable amount.
Over 50% of webmasters list their email addresses in plain text on their contact pages, making it very easy for the email harvesters sent by spammers to collect and include them on spam lists, simply because either they do not know how to install and configure a script that provides a Online Form or they did not tough about it.
Listing the email address in plain text on a contact page makes it very easy for email harvesters sent by spammers to collect and include it on spam lists, resulting in a rapid grow of the spam rate received by the email address owner.
All this spam received by all accounts at a hosting company have a considerable cost, in bandwidth, storage space, and finally money. We consider that by encouraging webmasters to not list their emails accounts in plain text, web hosting companies will do a great service to both them selves and the email owners.
The alternatives are either to use the email address inside an image, or to use online forms. Unfortunately many webmasters do not know how to install and configure the needed scripts, not to mention designing a form from scratch with all the needed fields.
A great and free solution is offered by our site, which provides webmasters with the ability to design their own online forms, and host the forms for them, so that no scripts are required to be installed, all the processing being done automatically by the tuclouds server. Many features such as Captcha verification, autoreply with the form submittal to the visitor, and more are available.
It is considered a very good practice for Web hosting companies to have a useful resources page for their clients, where they recommend 3rd party tools and resources that have been carefully selected, to cover the top needs of the average webmaster. By doing so, the risk that newbie webmasters will install vulnerable scripts or tools on their accounts that compromise the stability of the server is minimized, and costs resulting from human intervention to contact these webmasters and uninstall scripts are reduced.
The more a company cares about the satisfaction of their customers, the fastest will advance on the road of success. And when satisfaction of customers mean reduced costs, is even better!
Email harvesters
Email harvesters are software programs that are visiting the Internet going from website to website with the sole purpose of gathering email addresses.
They start by searching for some keywords in search engines, then they visit the top 10 or 20 results, and on each site they visit the pages of the site looking for email addresses. When they find any, they add them to a list, and move on to the other pages.
When they looked on the all pages of a site, the email harvester makes a list with links going out from the site, and then goes and visit those sites too, checking for email addresses and outgoing links.
An email harvester never stops, it just visits websites and collects as many email addresses as possible, to deliver them to spammers.
Some webmasters, try to trick email harvesters from getting their email address, by replacing the @ sign with words like at , or [at] , and the . sign with words like dot.
This way, instead of putting: Send me email to jhon@mysite.com they put: Send me email to jhon at mysite dot com , but email harvesters still get their email address because it's very easy for them to check for emails in the something at somedomain dot com format, or something [at] somedomain [dot] com , plus many other formats
The only way to stop email harvesters, is either to put the email address inside an image ( but this is troublesome for visitors as they can't just copy paste it, instead they would have to read it from the image and type it in their email program ), or use a contact form instead ( eventually one with captcha code in it ).

Form Builder
A form builder is simply a tool to create forms. They can be online builders ( such as our service ) or offline builders ( software that can be downloaded and installed on your computer )
Most form builders require advanced HTML or PHP programming skills, but our online form builder does not. You can easily specify how many fields you want, how big the fields should be, which data type each field should have, along with a few more information and you are done.
If you own a website or you are of the owner of a web business, you might need to create web forms sooner or later in the future.
A web form can rely on several mechanisms to work, it can use html and php, or html and cgi. The most used forms are the email forms ( forms that send you an email when submitted ) , or surveys ( forms that save the data into a database and provide statistics )
Many websites are offering different form building techniques. Some are free while other are paid, some are online while other requires software or scripts to be downloaded. Our form builder has a stepped approach, you can select the theme, text font, color combinations and images that you can set on your form. These websites are usually the form builder software that provides you the ideas and ways to build a form for your website.
Secure Email
The protection of electronic mail from unauthorized access and inspection is known as email privacy. In countries with a constitutional guarantee of the secrecy of correspondence, email is equated with letters and thus legally protected from all forms of eavesdropping. In the United States, privacy of correspondence is derived from the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution and thus restricted by the requirement for a "reasonable expectation of privacy".
