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?

You don't have to own a site to want to track it...
I knew of quite a few sites that I knew were going to expire very soon and if they wern't renewed I was going to buy them.
That's what people use these programs for, they just put thousands of domains into them and as soon as one is mistakenly not renewed they snap it up hoping to sell it back to the occupant.
I can pretty much guarantee that if I left my site and didn't renew it, it would be snapped up almost straight away by someone. Someone's already bought phi11ip.co.uk with the intention of selling it!

Excellent. I've just finished installing "Hmmm Ignore 2004", works great for me!

That is about the new domain administration system for GetDotted.com customer, I'm not sure of the exact features as I have yet to view it.
