Eight years ago, on May 20th, 2005, Iceberg was incorporated as Iceberg Hosting, LLC. A lot has changed since then. We’ve rebranded as Iceberg Web Design (after receiving a few phone calls asking if we were a catering service…), moved from Morris, Minnesota to the Twin Cities, updated our hosting servers and pricing structure, and went through a few different spin-off businesses (such as design & print and social media).

A lot changes in 8 years. Trends in website design change almost daily – and we spend hours every week just keeping up with the most recent design trends and programming skills.

We would like to send a heartfelt, sincere THANK YOU to all of our current and past clients, colleagues, business partners, and supporters. We would not be where we are today without your help and encouragement. We hope to still be working with you, and with many others, in 8 more years.

A common e-mail scam from 2011 has resurfaced this week. We have received questions from some of our customers (both customers who use our e-mail service, and customers who use another e-mail service provider), about suspicious e-mails. Please note that these e-mails are NOT coming from Iceberg Web Design.

The text of these scam e-mails looks something like this:

This is to inform you that you have exceeded your E-mail
Quota Limit and in
less than 96 hours your E- mail Account will be disabled.

Webmail Portal

Iceberg keeps a close monitor on all of our e-mail servers and hosting accounts. We will never ask you to provide login information via an e-mail reply. If you have inadvertently replied to one of these scam e-mails with your username and password, we recommend changing your password immediately to prevent unauthorized access to your account.

Please contact Iceberg if you have any questions about this recent e-mail scam!
