Email Scams

We’ve heard from several customers recently about two common email scams that have been making their way into mailboxes. In response to this we have published two Knowledgebase articles describing these two particular types of scams to help customers recognize these emails for what they are: SCAMS. One involves domain names and the other is an extortion attempt. Here are links to the respective Knowledgebase articles:

  • Domain Name Final Notice Scam
  • Email “Sextortion” Scam

We’ve written previously about “Phishing,” describing one technique used by cyber criminals to trick unsuspecting users to click on a link that leads to a fake website.

AlpineWeb is the best! I have been a web designer for over 20 years and their customer service is unmatchable. Alpine offers competitive pricing with excellent security and robust backup features. I have worked with many hosting companies over the years and Alpine is the most satisfying as they provide current essentials for all hosting/website needs AND… they care. I now refer all my new clients to AlpineWeb.Thank you Alpine – keep up the great work!!

Dianne Steele - Website Designer

Online Sales – made easy. We sell one of a kind items – and we wanted to be able to show our treasures and cars online to potential buyers. AlpineWeb built our website – it looks great – our customers love it – and it was totally affordable – this is a company that knows what they are doing!

Valley Muscle Cars

Difficult Website Design. Our organizations needs were challenging – not an easy topic to display – AlpineWeb took on the challenge to great success. They delivered a user friendly, action oriented, informative and compelling website – Kudos – Job Well Done!

AlpineWeb Design made the development of our new website so much easier than we ever imagined. They truly listened to our ideas and what was important to us – and had outstanding suggestions to improve our website. It is great on all devices and easy for us to update!!!

J-Town Deli - Jackson NH

Adding E-Commerce has been a success. I implemented online sales – it’s been a great way to showcase my work and it was relatively simple once Carla trained me how to update my website. I thought it would be so much more work than it was…they make the process easy and friendly

Peter Granucci - Artist

Great Service & Support! In the past it had taken days, even weeks to get assistance from our web host – now with AlpineWeb it takes a matter of hours. Carla and Uwe are not only true professionals; they are friendly and easy to work with. The web interface is uncomplicated and has many handy plug-ins for our sites. We also recommend AlpineWeb not only for their first rate service, but also for their reasonable prices.
