The new design incorporates updated graphics and html. We have also improved the functionality by making the search and tracking tools available throughout the site.



Initial feedback from clients has been very positive :-)

Helmstone Move To New Servers

Notice to clients

Over the last few weeks we have been moving our web hosting to new servers.
These are faster, more scalable, and are running the latest Microsoft server software. They will enable us to continue to provide a stable and secure hosting platform with all the future Microsoft security updates automatically applied as the current ones are.

We will also be moving our email server to this new platform. Please be advised that there will be a period where you will not be able to connect to our servers to send and receive mail.
However, any mail sent to you will be collected and stored on the new server at the instant of switchover, so you will not lose any emails.

Your own send / receive of mail is dependent on the Internet's Domain Name System, which maps your mail server name to the address of the actual computer that deals with it. When we switch over to the new server, there will be a period of up to 24 hours before the mail server name is mapped to the new address. During this time you will be unable to send / receive mail with your current settings.

We will be making these changes at 17:30 this Friday 2nd July to minimize the effect during working hours; save for exceptional circumstances, the domain name records will have refreshed by Monday morning, so hopefully you will not notice any loss of service.
