I was lucky enough to find Jeff back in 2009, when I was just launching the complex Big Mike Betting membership website.

After numerous so called 'experts' had happily taken my money and installed their software, but then having broken my website, wouldn't take responsibility for the mess they had created, I was at a total loss as to what to do.

Step forward Jeff Behnke, who made it his personal mission to establish what had gone wrong and work out why things weren't working. Most people would have taken one look at the mess and walked away.

But not Jeff, who worked tirelessly on my website and to his credit could have charged me a fortune for his time, but he didn't. Instead he took a long-term view to our relationship and as a result is now my webmaster of choice, who I employ on a monthly retainer, to ensure everything is secure up-to date and running smoothly.

Due to his ability and expertise, Jeff now also works on another of my websites www.thecarriageco.com

The man is a genuine, rare and talented genius.

I would have no hesitation in happily recommending Jeff to anyone who needs a webmaster, website developer or a website hosted.

All the best,

You could fix your email issues using Transaction ESP, like SendGrid.
Install this plugin in WordPress https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/
Which switches all emails to use SMTP and you set it up with your ESP's SMTP credentials.
I do this a lot with sites on cloud instances and it works very well.

On top of that, using an ESP like SendGrid you can actually see statistics of who is getting the email, bouncing, opening, etc... Great stuff, especially for a online business.
