Our achievement in keeping our mail server "white-listed" with important spam directories
There are over 250 global spam directories which effect delivery of emails. In reality keeping a mail server fully "white-listed" with ALL these directories is difficult. We have achieved though above 99% ability to keep clear on ALL these spam directories:
In the last 5 years, ie 1827 days, our mail server has only been on a directory affecting delivery of (some) emails for just 13 days:
13 days (0.71%) - affects delivery of just some emails
1814 days (99.3%)
Our Response to your Enquiries
We understand that a rapid response to make changes to your website or a request for technical information is critical to your work.
Our response to emails and messages: we aim to process and answer 70% of all client requests within 59 minutes and 100% within the same day, 7 days a week. If the work requested involves more than 1 day's work, we will still acknowledge and send a suggested time schedule.
A most excellent value for money package and customer service skills second to none. The support to me as a freelancer (hence having no other IT people to turn to) has been tremendous. They offer website hosting, emails and a system for clients to upload files to me all included in one very reasonable annual fee. With no hidden costs, no nasty surprises and everything running smoothly at all times, I have never been kept waiting to respond to anything. I have tried other services and art71/seren is the only one I would recommend.
