Whatโs New in Our Client Portal
Our team has been working hard behind the scenes to enhance our client experience โ from streamlining support to celebrating your milestones. Weโve rolled out a range of new features (many of which have never been seen before with hosting providers), improvements, and quality-of-life updates designed to make your portal more powerful, intuitive, and rewarding.
Here's what's landed:
Support Pin Updates ๐
-
Support pins now regenerate every few hours and whenever a sub user is removed from your account.
-
Our team can only access your account if you provide either the support pin or your postcode. We perform full security checks on your client account before proceeding. In certain cases, specialists have the authority to override this.
Support Notes ๐
- Every time you contact our team, we have improved logging of staff access to your client account and now add notes for each interaction. This helps ensure smooth communication if you get in touch again.
Client Awards ๐
Weโre pleased to introduce Client Awards โ a way to recognize your milestones with us.
What you can unlock:
- Automatic achievements for participation in our VIP Rewards program.
- Milestones such as invoices paid, tickets resolved, referrals, and more.
- Special achievements awarded by our team for exceptional contributions.
