Intuitively helpful!... I don't know if many people bother to do this, but I wanted to thank Freeola for its fantastic services. I have registered names and used the free hosting services and found that the information available at every step of the way has been superb, accurate and intuitively helpful. YOU'RE ALL SUPER ACE!... Seriously guys, I've been having a load of rubbish with my other provider for ages now, resulting with barely any webspace (50megs), no pop3 anymore and no site admin, as it's on port 200000 which is blocked on my network. Knowing this makes me appreciate you even more... You're better than ever. Your control panel rocks. When my domains expire on my rubbish reseller - they are coming to you. Please keep it up. Yippeeee!... OK - I have been searching for a while for a cheap, good all round ISP which includes: domain names, unlimited web space, NO BANNERS, CGI access etc - and I have found it! My search is over and I am HAPPY! Freeola.com has GetDotted which is a great (very good value) domain name seller. You can host it for free on their server and you get unlimited space without banners or ads of any sort.
