Editorial standard
Provider documentation first. Material changes are reviewed and corrected. No invented fixes, fake urgency or support-number scams.
Read our process →01
Server settings and account behaviour come from each provider’s own documentation, not from other guides.
02
Guides are reviewed against provider documentation and corrected when requirements, settings or account behaviour change.
03
Where recovery genuinely is not possible, we say so — rather than sending you round a loop that cannot work.
04
We never publish a “support hotline”. Every one you find elsewhere is a scam, and we explain how they work.
