Waegis, our online spam filter service for modern spam types, has been live for almost five months, and has served to clients to stop their spams and save their time.
In the past five months we received some feedback from our users regarding their suggestions and comments for the future of the service, and a main part of these feedback were focusing on the commercial model of the site. Honestly, like many other users of internet services, our users were looking for a free service even though our limitations for free service were far from the point that they can stop over 95% of our clients.
However, it looks like a psychological matter rather than a real need for users to have a completely free service, but we realized that it’s better to answer to our clients and let them enjoy a free service without any limitation. We’ve been working on a major update in our codebase that brings some new features and finally earlier today we deployed this new version which is the most significant update in our service since RTW.
The first and foremost change is the removal of commercial services and limitations, and I’m pleased to announce that Waegis is now a completely free service for all clients. After this, all our clients can enjoy a completely free service without any limitation and without paying anything; however, there is actually a very high limitation for security reasons, and if you want to have more than 150,000 API calls per months and/or more than 200 site instances, then you must contact us to allocate more resources to you, of course, without any charge.
Having this said, we also applied many changes to the codebase behind the scenes that are not visible to public users but they are very important changes to help us maintain the site better, and improve our quality. We also more modern development technologies and refactored some parts of the code to refine it.
We also have been working on statistics and hopefully we’ll deploy a new version that contains good statistical reports in the near future.
Although all these major changes in the code have been tested carefully, there is still a chance to encounter problems on the site or service, so here we ask you to please report any problem that you faced with.
We’re so happy to offer the free service to our users and we also hope that you can incorporate in the progress to help us improve the service and find the position that we deserve on the web.
Here I must thank Axosoft and its CEO, Hamid Shojaee, that has had such a great influence on our service. Axosoft sponsored the cost of enterprise hosting for the service, and played a vital role in our progress. We all should thank Hamid and his company for supporting us because without them, there was no Waegis! Actually Axosoft has been supporting many .NET communities and sites, and has helped the .NET community to keep its progress.
