Support Tips

Here are the most common things that can cause outages;

• Your internet connection is down – Contact your IT person or ISP
• There is a problem with your network – Contact your IT person
• Your email/IM/web server is down – Contact your IT person (maybe restart the server?)
• You have been blacklisted and email is not going out – Contact your IT person
• Your IT systems are OK – Contact our accounts department if you are behind with payments

As you can see most issues with services we provide are outside of our control, please ensure you have checked all non Cleartext systems prior to contacting us.
