Problems with Freeola support. They are un-willing to look at anything coming up with a server error and simply send you away to look at their web pages - yet again. You are paying for this web space, so don't be fooled that it is a free service, and they should support this properly. Other issues, won't give you telnet connection instructions (the FTP ones don't work) and they won't confirm whether you should be able to use telnet yes or no. Just again - look at our web site. Price creeps up if you want to use this from anywhere, another £3. All adds ...  Read the complete review

I have only joined www.Freeola.com recently but I am so glad I did, I have left Aol where you can spend half your life in a phone queuing system waiting to talk to there support staff. I have phoned Freeola's support staff loads already so that I can host my website on my new domain name and I haven't had to queue once. The migration from Aol to Freeola was dead easy and I'm now on a 2MB connection, its the 30/300 GB option which I took and it looks the best deal at the moment. This options is basically unlimited downloads, I just set any big downloads going in off-peak times i.e. over night or at the weekend. Freeola also has £10 off all there ...  Read the complete review

Seems like I may just have been unlucky, but my experience with freeola (and getdotted.com, it's domain registering sibling) was one of the worst I have ever experienced. I registered a domain name with them which was to be used for the campaign to get broadband introduced to our local exchange. Since this was to be a short term thing, the Freeola offering was fantastic. They DO offer cheap domain name registration, and the hosting is free, so maybe I was expecting too much. Anyway the whole setup went smoothly. it is very easy to register the domain name via getdotted.com, and then you register with Freeola, and let them know what domain you ...  Read the complete review

I have been using Freeola for over 2 years, which was around the time Freeola began business and for ages I thought it was the best free ISP available. It is a non-subscription service, with phone calls charged at local rates, however there is no 0800 service available unlike many of today's ISP's. Signing-up for Freeola is straightforward and takes only five minutes, no cd is required, so completion of your details will give you immediate access. On offer is local calls, free web space which includes features such as Common Gateway Interface(CGI) and PHP, both of which are for the more advanced website owners. For the average person, Freeola is the best ...  Read the complete review

Whilst looking around for an ISP to host k-t.madcows.co.uk (KittyKat's website), I stumbled accross Freeola and thought I'd check it out. For a start, you get a CGI-BIN that you can actually use! (CGI is the scripting tool that allows you to run guestbooks and counters etc) Not like the majority of free hosts (such as FreeNetName) where you get a couple of preloaded scripts and that's your lot! (If you intend to use it though, don't trust their help pages as the information is not always 100%! They don't give you the correct absolute path to your webpage!!) They also support technologies such as PHP and SSI. Secondly, you get ...  Read the complete review
