I've just got of the phone with Freeola support after a very worrying conversation.

Basically, Freeola failed to send me a domain renewal until a year after one of my domains expired. In the meantime, someone else has acquired the domain. Luckily, it wasnt an active site yet, so I've been saved a lot of embarrassment, but annoyingly this was a good net name that I've now lost.

Freeola's position is that it is not their responsibility to remind its users when a domain requires renewal...so hard luck.

Probably like many others out there, I've never kept a record of when any of the domains I own are due for renewal - Freeola have always pestered me with countless emails well in advance. Are there any of the support / moderators out there who can tell me how I can get the renewal dates for multiple domains hosted at Freeola in my name, without having to resort to a whois search on each one individually?

Hmmm... I hope you created all those sites yourself. Let's say you charged a minimal £500 per site = £450,000 !
I notice in another post you also have "9500+ fonts" installed.

Must upgrade my bullsh*t filterpro!...

Upgrade away, but for the record... I do have 9547 fonts installed, taken over 6 years to collect and totals 8.4GB in size. Onr of the down falls of being a designer. You collect them. WHich actually beings me to another thought... Has anyone ever used Suitcase for the PC. Used to use it on a Mac but currently stuck with Adobe Type Manager which is a total pain!

Secondly... My last employer hosted 300 sites. Cheapest was £500, the most expensive being £1.2million. Now sit there in your small world and think what you like, really doesn't bother me. But out of those 300, I was personally responsible for 72 of them.

Freelance wise, only responsible for 3 sites at the mo as I'm concentrating more on the Graphic design and corporate identity side of things, 2 were freebies for friends firms (one of which should launch this Monday) the other was billed at £3000 just for the designs and templates. The development of that went back "in-house" and totalled £276,000. (ode to have been able to do the development of that, I'd be loaded!!)

You obviously haven't been about here very long, otherwise you'd have a better idea of who your talking too.

Now please, go ahead, upgrade your BS filter, but at the same time, go crawl back under your rock until you have something a tad more intelligent to say.

Can't find it here. Tad annoyed, was on a .NET disc. Will be calling someone I used to work with who should still have a copy on Monday. Fingers crossed.

Rule number 1:

Don't f**k with Tyla. :c)

-

I've got 5 domains that I own, the most expensive costs over £2.4 million and the cheapest is £2.50

Oh, and the font count is currently 606 on this PC.

One more thing, [URL]http://www.download.com/3120-20-0.html?qt=domain&tg=dl-20&search.x=16&search.y=8&search=+Go%21+[/URL] as this might be helpful...

I'm not that bad... Am I? In all honesty, I just don't suffer tw@ts!


> Oh, and the font count is currently 606 on this PC.

Current count on mine is now only 12... only swith the rest on as and when I need them. Spent loads of time last week printing out contact sheets for them all which makes life a lot easier, albeit 2000 odd pages!

THis is really doing my nut in now. This app rocks. You set up all your domains into it and it just sits there watching them and occasionally reminding you when they've fallen over or about to expire. The best bit is you can set it to auto renew them too! I will find this dam thing if it's the last thing I do!

Na, you're not that bad, it's only when people do stuff like that that you get annoyed. Which is perfectly reasonable if you ask me!

And with the fonts, I found out that going into the folder, selecting all, right clicking and selecting properties to find out how many files there are is a bad idea. It opens a different properties box for each font, it crashed my PC!

Then after applying all the updates and patches -

BS Filter V3.7 PRO seems to be working. BS already cut by 66% !
