Does the iPhone work with Live Oak Hosting?

There's no doubt you've been inundated by the media with news about Apple's new iPhone.  Love it or hate it, this new gadget has taken the world by storm and we're being asked how it works with our servers.  The answer?

G R E A T ! !

Being an Apple fanatic for over 20 years, I couldn't wait to get my hands on this little gem.  I had ignored it for months, only to get sucked into the hype days before the launch.  I threw caution into the wind, went to the Apple store on opening night, and picked up this sleek and smooth piece of iCandy. 

Truth be told, it's the best cell phone I've ever used.  Sure, it has room for improvement, but don't we all?

And as for working with our servers for synchronizing your email, it works FLAWLESSLY!  I was surprised just how easy it was.  There is one small setting change that I needed to make, but it only takes 10 seconds.  Now my desktop email is continually synchronized with our mail server and I'm enjoying my new toy.  If you're considering an iPhone and want to ensure that it will work with your existing email accounts, have no fear --  It just works.


Good-bye Spam

Good-bye Spam

"Wow.. I opened my mailbox and ZERO spam today!!!"

This quote was taken from one of our customers 24 hours after having turned on our anti-spam filtering.  A quick call to this elated customer revealed that for the past six years, each morning's routine started with the daily expunging of spam from his inbox.  Having enabled our service, he sat down the following morning to an inbox clean of offers for a variety of unwanted gadgets, pills, and excursions.  Emails sent to his PDA are now limited to valid emails and he finds himself enjoying email again.

Interested in a free 30-day experience of worry-free email?  Would you like to run the numbers for yourself and find out how much spam costs you and your company?  Email Tracy today and she'll give you the raw facts.  Take our anti-spam service for a spin free for 30 days.  You won't regret it.

Is your password guessable?

Each month, Live Oak staff spend hours tracking down security holes caused by easily guessed usernames and passwords.  You're no longer safe sitting in the comfort of your own home or office.  These days, using secure connections and strong passwords is more than a precaution, it's a mandatory fact of life.

If you have a password that's easy for you to remember, chances are it's easy for someone to guess.  Be it by sniff, crack, or hack, the bad people are out there waiting for their chance.  Take a minute to think about your password.  Is it too easy?  Changing it only takes a few minutes, but it can keep you from losing valuable data down the road and will help you rest well at night. 


Here are a couple of sites you can use to generate stronger passwords.
