Hi,

I am curious to know the measures taken by eukhost to avoid Fraud orders. Do you use any kind of Fraud detection software for credit card payments?

Most payment vendors such as Paypal have their own fraud checking services built-in, but web hosting providers are also able to make use of services such as Varlogix Fraudcall, amongst others which are available.

Yes, it is true that payment vendors have their own fraud checking services. So is with Google CheckOut; it rejects payment if it finds something against its protection policies.
Here is a link that I thought to share:-

Maxmind is I guess another Fraud protection service. Can you shed some more light on this?
