    Time Machine

    Was going to suggest the same thing, If the drive is full, most of the time Time Machine will bring a warning up asking you what you want to do. But some of the time it just sits there waiting to start.... Is your mac the only mac backing up to the same drive via Time Machine? If not are the...

    Google Apps Users

    It could be a browser issue, if you're using an older browser there are some scripts on there that could cause it to be slow, is it just slow all of the time? Is it just you, or are there multiple users suffering the same issue? I have to say we run Google Apps as do a number of clients and...

    0845 number or local number?

    We used to use 0845 numbers, mainly so we could divert it anywhere, and it wouldn't be a huge issue moving premises etc.. But you can do that with local numbers as well now. As everyone has said, 0845 numbers are expensive and mobile phone users don't get them included in their plan [That goes...

    Hsphere hosting

    Thinking about, i've not used plesk for years! Shows how used to a solution you get! Do honestly think cPanel makes things easy from a user and sysadmin perspective though! We even have it installed on our development servers. In answer to the OP there is Hsphere hosting out there, but i'd...

    Hsphere hosting

    Agree wholeheartedly with Dominic, I can't imagine effectively managing a server without cPanel nowadays, it simplifies every stage of hosting and for dedicated servers etc is extremely customisable. There are some cPanel demoes at this link -...

    Google apps for email

    As HostThree says, you don't physically transfer the host to google, your website is still hosted by the same company it has been [FastHosts by the sounds of things] but you change your mx entry to tell any servers trying to send mail to your domain that the mail should be redirected to google...

    Google apps for email

    Couldn't recommend Google Apps more highly, we use it ourselves and quite a few of our clients, traditionally used to use either pop3 accounts or an exchange server have moved over to it with minimal fuss. If you have people in your business that already use a mail client such as outlook...

    Business internet service providers

    Hi Gary, It sounds like the problem is more with the router than the Internet connection if a reboot solves it, if its the one provided by BT get on the phone to them and they'll replace :) We have used a few providers over the years, and also did a White Label service for a while. I can't...

    S&G Design (Quotes Needed)

    Hi Darren, Welcome to the forum! I've been in the background a while, using advice and slowly getting more involved. I've actually sent you a quick PM through just in case you've had no luck finding anyone to help you with what you need. We're an IT / Communication [or ICT, but people just...

    Which strapline sounds better

    Unless you think there is something wrong with your current strapline [Which there isn't as far as i'm concerned] or you are trying to market your business differently. I'd stick with your current strapline, its short catchy and simple. Also have you considered the actual cost associated with...

    Office System Setup question

    Ah good definitely the right thing to do, if you need any help then obviously let us know! Just something to bear in mind with a supplier building the server themselves. What warranty are they providing with the equipment? Have you got good reason to believe that if hardware did fail they...

    Hosted Exchange Export/Import

    Bit of a shot in the dark here, but I don't suppose you've considered Google Apps? Cloud based email, same sync characteristics as exchange for £30 per user per year. Backed up across servers across continents. Think you get a 25GB limit per user, and they actually provide exchange...

    Office System Setup question

    I couldn't have said it better myself, thin client solutions are becoming more viable nowadays because most work can only be done with either a network or internet connection. [ie. you can't send an email from your laptop without internet anyway so you may as well do it through your server.]...
