Update: Internap Network Services
Posted by Erica George
On Friday we noted that StopBadware has been in touch with some of the companies that we featured in our recent press release on hosting providers and badware. We now have more information to share about Internap Network Services, which we listed as hosting 1,437 of the sites in our Badware Website Clearinghouse. Internap has informed us that, while it does own the IP address blocks associated with the sites we highlighted, those blocks are in fact leased to another tier of companies that provide the actual hosting for the sites.
Internap tells us it has informed the relevant hosting providers about the badware problems in the IP block, and that it is committed to ensuring that the providers it works with secure and clean their hosting servers.
Stay tuned for more updates!
