Scheduled Maintenace – Delta – 4-5 Nov 23
November 5, 2023We will be decommissioning this server over the weekend of 4-5 November 2023 due to outdated hardware and to improve account security. All accounts on this server will be moved across to a new server bravo.professionalbydesign.com.au. Clients should not experience any issues with the migration, however if there are issues with receiving new email after an account is migrated, ensure that your incoming and outgoing mail server is set to “mail.yourdomainname.com.au” and not “delta.professionalbydesign.com.au” in your email client. Restart your email account, device or router as well.
If you have any issues after the migration, please contact us.
