"Getdotted.com"

Getdotted.com. It is appears in every single upwire, in all the club magazines, and is widely advertised across the country.

So what is it? Getdotted.com is a site offering domain names
at a very low price. Any unused domain name can be bought from here, and the even give you two years of hosting. You can have site e-mail, PHP scripts, CGI scripts, UNLIMITED WEBSPACE, and all this for the lowest price on the web!

But how do they do it? Well, you're right there is a catch.
You have to dial in to THE FREEOLA INTERNET to be able to use your domain. That is how they can sell them so cheap - they are making the money back with their pay-as-you go interent service. Is this really fair? I don't think so. Getdotted advertise for buisnesses, surely they wont want to have to use freoola to dila up to the interent every time? Rip-off!

Yeah. If you don't want to connect to Freeola, use a PHP uploading scriptset to do it for you.

Beware! It'll take ages, and it very possibly violates your contract. I wouldn't advise it.

Tony, what's the official word?

AND WHERE'S MY JOB APPLICATION FORM, HMMM?

Yeah. POP server = mail.freeola.net

SMTP server = you ISP's. For World Online it's smtp.uk.worldonline.com. Freeserve is smtp.freeserve.net, I think. Basically, you usually need to replace the "www." of your server's website with "smtp."! Although World Online is differant.

Sorry Tony!

If you buy a domain name, cvan you just use FrontPage 2000 to upload your stuff onto it?

Yes, indeed it looks like a small change I've made today has mucked up the formatting on 'Just Arrived' users. It'll get sorted tommorrow.

Seems that way - for the moment - because it's still like it. Is it the same for you guys too? Appears in the Times New Roman font, as a standard blue hyperlink.

Hah! Squid Blain....

Am I missing something or is that just a stupid name....

Just Kidding....

Does it do that to all the 'just arrived today' members, I wonder?

At this point, "Squid Blaine" is still appearing as a link for me - though everyone else is as usual.
