I've been wondering if it wouldn't be tidier and more sensible to transfer to PlusNet for these services. I don't have any particular problems with Easily (though just lately the email service has actually been somewhat erratic) - I simply wonder about the advantages of having everything under the same roof, so to speak.
Would there be any point in changing? What are the pros and cons? Many thanks.

Personally, I only do this to use the bundled web space - which isn't included in newer packages anyway.
I don't use PN for mail, I've run my own server at home for many years. It was a source of great frustration that when using PN's DNS servers, until a few years ago your couldn't not use their mail servers as a backup - which meant that a) I lost a lot of mail because they ****ed up the config, and b) I got a lot of spam because (as noted above) all the spam went through their servers and bypassed my greylisting. At one point I took my DNS elsewhere even though it meant not using the webspace because I was so frustrated dealing with 2nd line support that seemed to know less about email and their systems than I did
I get the impression that mail services may have improved. I hope so because they couldn't have got much worse than they were. So if you're happy with your current provider, then I'd say stick with them. Contrary to what some ISPs may tell you, and many people believe, you do not have to get all your services from one place.

And Easily tech support is Monday to Friday only...
That VERY WISE DECISION doesn't look so clever, just at the moment. Is anyone else out there using Easily?

And it wasn't just me, apparently.

So their proof-reading (or their grammar) is a tad dodgy, too. And on top of that, they got my name wrong...
