Following on from recent mail server issues, we will be migrating many of our clients to a new server.   We will be communicating directly with affected clients when their hosting is moving and we expect the migration to be as painless as possible with minor disruption to services.

Email sending limited A client has accidentally sent spam messages via our shared hosting server and as a result, sending mail is now limited. A computer infected with a virus or malware can send thousands of spam messages undetected.  Mail internal to our server is being delivered and external mail is being delivered to the mailboxes on our server. However email from our server is not currently arriving at external mailboxes and we are working with our hosting service provider to resolve this. We cannot guarantee delivery of recent messages because they may be delayed or blocked by external servers beyond our control. Make sure to follow safe internet usage. Use virus and malware scanning software. Only use trusted software and trusted internet links even if the source appears to from someone you know. To ensure that our server does not send spam, we are limiting the number of emails that can be sent per hour.

There are issues with the DNS (domain name service) related to a server hosting websites and email for some of our clients. There is planned maintenance related to DNS scheduled for next week however this most likely a different issue. We are attempting to contact the service provider regarding this and monitoring the issue. 

We have completed moving our clients' websites and email to our new server.  The new server has more storage available and more up to date server software. If you experience any problems which may or may not be related to this maintenance, please  contact us .

We have purchased a new server for hosting many of our clients websites and email.  The new server will allow us to provide more storage and more up to date server software.
