Website blacklist monitor
Google Safe Browsing scans sites for malware and phishing content, and several web browsers use Google’s site blacklists to warn visitors of potentially unsafe sites. Dropmysite includes a Google blacklist monitoring feature. If the blacklist monitor detects that your site is blacklisted by Google Safe Browsing, it sends you an e-mail alert so you can take immediate corrective actions.The blacklist monitor is not enabled by default, but you can enable it for any domain hosted at hosting.com.
