Backup MX servers - reliable backup email services
Our backup or secondary mx mail services will temporarily store your incoming email in the event of your primary mail server becoming unavailable. A primary email server can be unavailable for a number of reasons: -

  • Temporary routing problems can mean your mail cannot reach your primary mail server directly, having a backup MX server gives these emails another route to reach you.
  • The primary mail server has crashed.
  • The primary mail server is busy and unable to accept new emails.
  • It’s Internet connection is down or is saturated.

There are a number of reasons a primary email server can fail and utilising backup MX services means in such an event, your mail will be temporarily diverted and stored on our backup mail servers.

Thomas Design gets a facelift

It maybe a little overdue but Thomas Design finally gets a new logo and a much needed facelift. Like any business it inevitably has to adapt to keep with the times and where our core services have expanded and modernised to meet the demands of our customers, our logo and stationery was seriously slacking behind! Our aim was to create a simplistic, modern style logo that could easily be adapted to suit most requirements and clearly portray the type of business we are; and the diverse services we are now able to offer.

E-commerce the way forward for retailers

The latest figures released for 2007 show that Internet shopping made up 15p in every pound of retail spending. Online sales leapt to a record £46.6bn in 2007, up 50% on the previous year! These figures provide firm evidence that consumer confidence in Internet shopping is rapidly increasing and provides very exciting prospects for online retailers. Reports also suggest that virtually all growth in retail is now online and the Internet has now become 'dynamo' for retailers. On Christmas day alone, some 4.5 million people across the UK bought goods online worth a staggering £84m, up 269% on the previous year! Online retail has never been better and provides real opportunities to retailers looking to expand their business and increase profits.
