Free Net Name (co.uk)

I was recently contacted by someone who was having a bit of trouble with their web site. Their solution was to have Charlie virtually ride in on a virtual white steed and virtually right all virtual wrongs, kill a few virtual baddies and live happily ever after, virtually. Ahha, easy peasy thought I - but as usual I was wrong! The problem was that their site had dissappeared, vanished, gone to the great "The page cannot be displayed" error page in the sky, it was no more. So, a few questions were asked by yours truly to find out what had happened. "Who are the hosts?" "Um, dunno" - arghh, this would be harder than I thought! Anyway, ...  Read the complete review

I was one of the lucky ones. I found freenetname by accident whilst surfing at work, and as soon as I got home, I immediately registered www.bruleo.co.uk with them. At first I was very sceptical about a company offering free domain name registration, especially as many others (at the time) were charging rather a lot. With freenetname you 'own' the domain name that you have registered: Indeed, I received my official certificate of ownership some 12 months after registering, although the small print says that they reserve the right to charge in the future. I did make the mistake of registering bruleo.com free with another (American) company and ...  Read the complete review

FreeNetName is a free internet which also gives you a free domain name too. This is all good except for when you want to check your email or upload something to your site, you have to use their service otherwise it will not work. The internet service is quite fast and a good thing is that they have a freephone number if you need any help. Although I use BTinternet Anytime, I still need to use FreeNetName to check my email or change stuff on my site, this is what i hate because i have to dial a local call and cant get it for free, although its only a few pence! oh well. Overall, it is a good service and everything, just that other thing that i was talking about ...  Read the complete review

Eleven months after I joined freenetname's service, I received my nominet certificate that states the domain I registered with them was mine until June 2002. Nominet needn't have bothered since I was unable to use my domain thanks to some pretty bad customer "service" received from them, or lack of. The deal (at the time, which is now ceased) was this:- * free internet access via an 0845 dial up * free '.co.uk' domain name * free web services inc 20 megs web space great, I thought, something useful from an ISP. I signed up, registered my domain name. Simple. That was, until I went to use ...  Read the complete review

One day at college my freind told me about freenetname. A isp that ofered a free domain name and hosting package, for FREE. When i looked this was the case. So i signed up. After this i saw you had to connect to the internet using their 0845 number (local rate) to be able to upload my site. No big probs yet. This was all great, ive got thedomainnameichoose.co.uk and free 20megs of space. But on 1st november they stoped accpeting new users. Fortunately they were going to continue the service but had no plans of expanding. But for the people who hadnt got around to sign up it wasnt so good. As a service it offered 20megs web space, yourname.co.uk .net or .org ...  Read the complete review
