Technical Support and Troubleshooting

If you are experiencing any difficulties with emails or with your website please go through these simple checks as they may resolve any issues you are having.

Cannot Send or Receive email:

  • Check broadband connection, if this isn't working contact your broadband provider.
  • Empty junk mail folders, inbox and sent items of unnecessary messages.
  • Save any large attachments to your pc and delete from the email account.
  • Check if you can send or receive via webmail. You can do this by logging in with your email address and password at www.yourdomain.co.uk/webmail. Send yourself an email and if it arrives safely you know that the issue is not with our server but a local one to your pc. Your IT support dept should then be able to look at the problem.

Repeatedly asked for password when sending/receiving:

  • Check your security settings by doing the following:
    In outlook go into tools - email accounts. Then change/view accounts. Make sure that the tickbox for 'require logon using secure password authentication' is empty. Then go into more settings click the outgoing server tab and make sure the box for 'outgoing server requires authentication' is ticked and the 'use same settings...' button is selected. Then go to the advanced tab and make sure the box for 'this server requires an encrypted connection' isn't ticked.

Cannot See Website:

  • Check your broadband connection. Can you get on other sites such as www.bbc.co.uk? If not please contact your broadband provider.
  • If you have control of your domain check to see if your registration has expired.

If these checks don't solve the problems please contact us.
