Zen and other questions

Hello

We are thinking of moving our site so I have a number of questions for you.

1/ Are your servers based in the UK
2/ We run the latest zencart and will continue with this, probably not a problem as you run oscommerce
3/ One of the reasons for moving is that our spam is now out of control, we are on the maximum setting for all email and yet we are still being inundated, apart from costing us money (through bandwidth) we are now missing through the volume, emails which we need. What is the "performance" of your system. Our current lot say that they stop 99.9% of spam which clearly they do not and have suggested setting up rules in OL, which is not acceptable.
4/ Do you charge on a pa or monthly
5/ Do you have clients running zen I can contact or look at their sites?

Many thanks

Be sure to add captchas to your contact forms to lower the amount of spam you receive through those, and also minimise the use of displaying email address as text (as spiders can read them)

just my 2 cents.

If you choose UK on your order then yes you will be in the UK (we offer a choice of UK and US).

This is fine.

3/ One of the reasons for moving is that our spam is now out of control, we are on the maximum setting for all email and yet we are still being inundated, apart from costing us money (through bandwidth) we are now missing through the volume, emails which we need.

We use "MailFoundry" hardware spam firewalls, we think they work very well (best in the industry) and invested heavily. Google for info or give us a try.

4/ Do you charge on a pa or monthly

You choose when you order if you want to pay pa or monthly.

5/ Do you have clients running zen I can contact or look at their sites?

We have hundreds of people running zen, if you search these forums im sure some urls will crop up.

Thank you,
