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?

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.

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!...

Currently wading through over 1000 CD's, I know it's on one of them.

I have a freeware app kicking about somewhere which caters for all domain names. Used to use it myself to keep track of over 900 domain names. I'll did out the link to it when I get home later.

I've not find anything like that for free but a simple search on GetDotted and clicking the link will bring up the WHOIS record of that domain whether it is with us or not.

Also cheers for the link, doesn't look a bad utility although a shame it doesn't include more domains (e.g .co.uk)
