Hi all, My company has been having loads of issues with its current hosting company (openhosting). Emails have been very bad! I want to swap them over to 1&1. Thing is, if I do this - we won’t receive any emails for a few days maybe? Has anyone done this? What is the best way to approach it and any advice? Thanks! ---

As long as you can access email on both servers, you’ll never lose emails during the DNS propagation. You could even have emails sent to one server forward over for convenience. ---

What if you do it with Google and Hotmail? Microsoft certainly isn’t smart enough to find that loop… is Google smart enough to outsmart MS? ---
