    Complicated DNS situation can't add a new TXT to Microsoft or 123reg to verify a domain in search console

    Complicated DNS situation can't add a new TXT to Microsoft or 123reg to verify a domain in search console

    When you say the nameservers are in 365 - are they or are they just somewhere other than 123Reg? What does www.mxtoolbox.com report for the nameservers? If it really is in 365 then you should be able to edit DNS records from Settings / Domains / DNS Records tab.

    Staff reluctant to drive to internal meeting 1.5 miles away because of no business insurance on car!

    Staff eh, who'd have them! Id assume this would be business use unless you can argue its commuting somehow, but I'm no expert. Just chipping in to say I'm seeing much more push back and take take take from staff recently. I'm assuming it's because we are back in the office and they'd rather...

    What do you think it takes to start a new business in today's climate?

    I can understand this advice but if you look for reasons not to do something you will always find one. Do or do not, there is no try - as some little green goblin said.

    The same as it has ever taken. An idea and some balls to do it.

    Employee with bad attitude!

    That depends if you think you can change their attitude. Some we have had success with by sitting down and discussing the situation and putting plans in place to address it. Others we have just had to let go. If they have been with you less than 2 years then don't forget you can get rid quite...

    TSOHost have just announced they are end of lifeing our Gridhost platform so I need to find a new host. We don't have any 'live' websites as such just some testing and dev sites that we play around with. Can anyone recommend a good host that we can easily spin up some new wordpress installs etc...

    Digital Signage Software

    We have had really good success with Yodeck - really good interface, love anything that utilises a raspberry pi and solid as a rock.

    Awkward customers

    If I feel that there is a chance of work coming from them (so in our case the contact is from someone in a business as opposed to just a 'normal' person) I offer them a 30 minute consultation for free. By doing that everyone knows where they stand and most times that will lead to paid work -...

    Client needs their website cloned

    Thanks for the messages both. Nope no access at all to ftp, WP or CPanel etc. We have had some people in touch and we have someone on the case so thanks for all the interest but we should be sorted. UKBF comes to the rescue again!
