SoftLayer Is Using Tickets To Send SPAM

I don't know about you guys... But when my datacenter opens a Ticket, I drop anything else I'm working on to take care of it...

God forbid someone had reported spam on MY domain, and they were warning me with a server take down notice.

Imagine my surprise when it turned out it was them breaking there own spam policy.

Here's the ticket /SPAM for those interested:

Dear Customer,

Your account has been selected for a special promotional price on our Network Attached Storage (NAS) for off-server backup. This is a great way to insure that your mission critical files and data are kept safe in case of some form of hardware failure. The FTP/NAS storage we offer is basically an allotment of space on one of our shared storage servers. We will provide you with the IP address and login to the space, and you can FTP your data across the private network from the private NIC on your server to this space.

You or your server administrator can automate the process by installing a script/cron job, or by setting up the backup utility within cPanel or Plesk.

Currently your account is eligible to order a NAS account for one half of the normal retail pricing. You will need to be logged in to your customer portal at the following link:

Enter the following promotional codes to take advantage of the special pricing.

$5/mo for 20GB of NAS: Half20nas
$10/mo for 40GB of NAS: Half40nas
$20/mo for 80GB of NAS: Half80nas
$25/mo for 100GB of NAS: Half100nas
$50/mo for 250GB of NAS: Half250nas

Having a solid backup of critical data is very important. It can save hours of time and trouble for your server administrator in the event the server is compromised, or the hard drive fails. For just a few dollars a month you can rest assured that your files and data are securely stored and your business is safe. How much is your business worth to you? If it is worth more than a few dollars a month I suggest you take advantage of our half off NAS storage promotion while it lasts as this promotion is only good for 7 days!
