COMMON QUESTIONS  OR ISSUES TO LOOK AT FIRST

OUTLOOK SETTINGS - Where are my email setting for checking emails on mobiles / outlook etc?
 

To get your configuration settings for outgoing and incoming mail servers login to webmail ( instructions in below tab ) and you can view all the recommended settings.

Please note we only support webmail issues. If you cannot connect to your email from other devices you will need to contact the manufacturer of your device for assistance with settings or get help from a mobile tech company with connecting up. TIP: If you search youtube ie “setting up email on ipad youtube”  as an example.. you will see lot’s of help videos for setup.

WEBMAIL -I want to check my emails on internet, use webmail

If you want to check your emails on any computer with internet please add the word   (  /webmail  )   on the end of your domain.

ie yourfulldomain/webmail

Your user name is full email address.

When you login you will also see the setting for adding emails to outlook etc.

OVER QUOTA - I think my emails have gone over quota?

If you try send a message and your email address is over quota you will get a warning message.

When using outlook to check your emails, it is best if you remove messages off server once you have downloaded so you don’t have issues with running over quota.

A quick google search will find many instuctions on how to do, here is one of them.

INSTRUCTIONS HERE

Also a good way to remove messages is by using your cpanel account ( send us email if you want us to email you cpanel details ) see video below once you get cpanel access.

LOCKED OUT - I cannot connect to my emails or my website?

If you find you cannot connect to your website and emails ( but you can connect to other websites ) the server may have locked your IP from access.

This can happen if you try to login to your emails and account with the incorrect password too many times. ( Server thinks you are trying to hack or spam so locks you out )

SOLUTION: Please go to this website.  

whatismyip.com

Record the public IP address at the top of that page and send this IP with your support ticket, so we can add your IP address to unblock list.

SPAM - I am getting lots of spam on my email.

Spam is a problem that many people have with their email. Once your email is out there in cyberspace it is very hard to stop. In your hosting account cpanel there is a program called Spam assassin you can switch on. ( let us know if you want us to send you your cpanel details so you can turn it on )

Here is a good video that talks about spam assassin.

SPAM FROM MY WEBSITE FORM - I am getting lots of spam sent from my website form?

Spam is a problem that many people have with their contact forms on website. The best way to stop is by adding a google captcha to your form.

To do this we have to set you up a google API key and add a plugin to your website. Cost for our time to do this is $95. Let me know if you want us to do for you.

WEBSITE SLOW - my website seems to go slow?

A slow website can be caused by many reasons. Sometimes it is just that the server is currently taking on higher load from other websites on server at that time.

It could also be caused by:

– plugins on website slowing it down.

– Old theme/wordpress and plugin versions. See our maintenance plans.

– images on site not being optimised and are too large in size so taking a long time to load.

There are things we can do to try reduce load time of a website.

We can add caching plugins to site to help increase speed and optimise images on site so they load faster. We can also update plugins/theme/wordpress to latest versions. Let us know if you want us to do this. Cost for our time with this is usually $200 – $300. Let us know if you want this service.

 

 

 

SSL - is my website data secure?

SSL certificates will protect the sensitive data transmitted from and to your website. Such information can be login details, signups, addresses and payment or personal information. SSL certificates will encrypt the connection and help protect your visitors’ data from being misused by attackers

If you are on standard hosting or above we include one on your site for free. See link below.

Maintenance And Hosting Packages

 If you want one but are only on the basis hosting option we can install a SSL Security Certificate and plugin on your website. Cost is $95 for our time in doing this. Let us know if you want.

 

 

 

How do I change my email password or setup forwarders?
 

When you login to webmail following the above instructions, you will see a tab to change passwords/forwarders etc. You can also change password from within cpanel ( if you don’t have cpanel let us know and we will send you )
