    BySteve Davis May 11, 2021June 3, 2025

Yet, there is a chance you don’t know what one is, so we are breaking down the most commonly asked questions below….

    May 2021 newsy thing

    BySteve Davis May 10, 2021December 29, 2025

    Thanks for your ongoing support for 123host by being a customer. 123host is your classic “small business”, which means I can give personalised support and be agile, not necessarily having rigid policies. I get the opportunity to watch projects progress from an idea to fruition…you aren’t an anonymous username to me. Keep in mind that…

    Change the sort order of domains in WHMCS

    BySteve Davis April 5, 2021August 9, 2024

    WHMCS is popular software used to manage a web hosting business. It works, but it can be clunky and the company frustrates me with what appears to be a culture of denial about problems. I am posting this so that hopefully other WHMCS users can find a solution to a hair-tearing problem that the company…

    Reaching the limits

    BySteve Davis January 31, 2021August 9, 2024

    A few months ago I set a challenge to beat the 123host support ticket response time of 51.7% within 1 hour and 82.7% within 4 hours. Thank you so much for getting back to me so quickly!! Legendary as always. Katherine M-S. It isn’t like all stops have been pulled out to try to beat…

    BySteve Davis January 1, 2021August 9, 2024

    BySteve Davis December 9, 2020August 9, 2024

    The great customer service continues

    BySteve Davis October 1, 2020August 9, 2024

    The 123host mantra is “to give the level of customer service we wish we received elsewhere” because, let’s face it, most internet customer service sucks. It takes days to get a response to your inquiries…if you do get a reply. Not at 123host. Pretty happy with these stats for September 2020. Over half of tickets…

    Divi theme…I’m getting interested

    BySteve Davis May 24, 2020August 9, 2024

    If you use WordPress you need to have a theme. There are thousands and thousands of them ranging from the free default theme through to expensive premium themes. One popular theme is Divi and the associated Divi builder. I’ll be honest and admit I don’t know a lot about it apart from having tweaked a…

    Anxiety is over-rated

    BySteve Davis May 18, 2020August 9, 2024

    Running a server is a mix of learning, fun, puzzle solving and terror. A lot of people rely on 123host (or any hosting company for that matter) to keep everything working so their business can operate. What users might not realise is how much house-keeping is involved in keeping a server running smoothly. One of…

    Don’t push gmail

    BySteve Davis April 12, 2020August 9, 2024

    If you can get past the fact that Google has overtaken Microsoft as the symbol of internet evil, gmail is pretty good. Especially the spam filtering. In the past when people want their @domain emails in their gmail account I have simply forwarded it i.e. pushed the emails to gmail. But this has a down-side….
