Not only was my site and email down for two d...More ays after the transfer. One of my sites and it's email, keeps reverting back to the old company server instead of my new server. However, the "support" person on the chat line felt that I should be able to go to the old server and change the setting to point to the correct server. Which would have been fine. If I actually had access to the server and it's new address. After going around and around with the "support person" and being told the the Supervisor was too busy to help me. He "begrudgingly" made the changes that needed to be made to fix my issues. Only took 1 minute to fix the issue but 15 minutes of begging for them to fix it. Less
