Is your Email not working?
Very first thing to check is your email box storage space. It's very common to have issues sending or receiving emails if your email box is packed full. Your email space has the ability to store literally thousands of emails, but if your space is not kept organized or maintained it could get too full and then not only bounce incoming emails back to the sender, but can also deny you the ability to send email as well.
A very easy way to check this is to go to your webmail system. It is located at
https://webmail.yourdomain.com (or .ca). Bring up your webmail in your web browser using this address,
of course substituting in your own domain where it says yourdomain. Use your whole email address as the username and enter in your current password. Once you have logged into the webmail, at the bottom of your webmail page you will see a little percentage level. This indicates your email box space. If it is 100% then you will need to clean out some space in order to send or receive emails.
Options are completely deleting old sent, spam, junk, trashbin and inbox emails... Or moving needed emails to a local folder on your computer through your email program on your PC.
If you find that you have cleaned out as much as you can and are still struggling for space, we can add more space to your inbox. If you need more space you can just
contact me and we can discuss your options.
Like any web server, there are rare times when it may be necessary to perform a maintenance or reboot in order for any updates or upgrades to be enabled. Normally these small rare outages take place in the middle of the night, but in even more rare instances (like perhaps a very high priority security patch), it is not out of the realm of possibility for a short reboot to happen during the day. We know that when your website appears to be down for more than a minute, it seems like an eternity, and we understand this completely. A good amount of things have to happen to reboot a server like ours for it to come back online ready to serve your website. We strive to maintain our 99.9% uptime here at Vernon Websites.
In addition to this, the server is also equipped with full denial of service attack defense and other security features. Also, if an extremely rare critical error happens to crash the server, it is equipped and set to automatically reboot and start again. All of these automatic features boost your total uptime and reliability.
Please give the server at least 5 minutes to come back online. It could just be rebooting. If your site does not appear to come back for you within those five minutes please click the link at the bottom of this page to submit your trouble ticket for a possible outage report.
It should also be mentioned that we do have automatic monitoring services and that often we probably already know if there is an issue with the server. (Still please submit your ticket.) Quite often we are already working on resolving the issue, or the server itself is fixing the issues on it's own.... Downtime issues are of the absolute highest priority here and will be dealt with right away.
Any other issues.
