    Virtual Machine Disk Latency...

    Have you tried running a perfmon trace on the Windows 2003 SBS VM? Does this show anything around the time you see the poor performance, what doe the event logs say as well? I assume this VM has the VMware tools installed? Are there any jobs configured on the SQL server around the time the...

    How to Handle Business Emails with multiple staff

    A ticketing system of some description certainly seems more appropriate than relying upon shared mailboxes. It should avoid any missed emails and also allows you to make the process a little more slick from your customer perspective. SmarterTrack is good and they offer it as a hosted service...

    Confused about domains!

    As the domain is a .UK based on the WHOIS output the only 'safe' way to transfer the domain to you is to complete the process via Nominet: http://www.nominet.org.uk/registrants/maintain/transfer/ Unlike most other TLDs you cannot arbitrarily change the Registrant details of a .UK so...

    Android vs iPhone

    I've had both iPhones and Android phones/tablets and have to say if you want something that just works you cannot go wrong with the iPhone. They are excellent quality and in my experience the iPhone versions of apps tend to be better (i.e. Bria and iWHMCS) in terms of functionality and 'eye...

    Still using an @hotmail, @aol etc email?

    I think the biggest problem is that a lot of people do not realise how easy it is to setup a domain name and email hosting. You can be up and running in minutes and if you're not technical you can just access your email via webmail rather than configure an email client. What particularly makes...
