What is CAPTCHA?

CAPTCHA is an acronym for Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart.

 

It is a type of visual confirmation used in websites to ensure the submission of an entry is not automatically done by a computer/bot.

Basically, CAPTCHA is an image with a text shown on it. The user must type the same characters as the ones on the image to verify s/he is human.

It is often used in forums and contact us pages to prevent entries from spam bots.

Setting up your email is easy when you have the right host by your side. If you need a reliable partner to help you resolve email issues and provide expert support, check out our email hosting services.
