Just received the email about the .info freeola giveaway...

If I decide to take up the offer, does that mean I must use freeola as an ISP to access the domain? (as that's what the T&C imply)

Hi motomoto,
The Google command in my last post highlights the references; it's just a matter of going through them and deciding if you are happy with the wording/context :¬)

Not pedantic at all.
Sorry you're right, I forgot 'Web Freedom' has been superseded by the VIP package for most users.

NB. site:freeola.com "web freedom" shows quite a few references that might need looking at.

Some may call me pedantic, but FYI to everybody that Web Freedom is now only available to users that have a Freeola Broadband account in their MyFreeola account.

For users that don't have a Broadband connection with us, then they need to look at VIP Hosting. :).

That's how I read it - I would imagine it might catch out quite a few people that stumble across the Free twitter offer!

You can of course just use a Freeola dialup account (0845 number) when you need to change the website or I guess sign up for web freedom which will allow access from any provider.

Or signup for a Freeola InstantPro site which you can maintain from any connection.

Freeola are already my ISP so it means I get to use all these extras FOC :¬)


EDIT - Freeola have replied while I was typing!!!

Hi Edgy,

Our standard hosting terms apply regardless of how you acquire the domain, be it free of charge, a transfer in from alternative provider or bought directly from GetDotted.com

a) If you wish to use our Free Unlimited E-mail & Website offer, then you will need to either connect to Freeola Broadband or Dial-up to upload your files.

Free Website | Free E-mail

b) Our VIP Web Hosting range offers the same unlimited benefits as our free hosting, plus a few extra snazzy optional benefits (depending on which package you choose), including custom error pages, password protected directories, visitors stats ec. From £3.49 per month. You do not need to be using a Freeola connection to access this service.

VIP Web Hosting

c) Finally, you would have read about InstantPro Homepages in the .info giveaway e-mail. Every single domain hosted with Freeola & GetDotted receives an optional InstantPro Homepage, a 1-page version of our popular Easy Website Builder. You then have the option of upgrading to our full InstantPro service, which is charged at £3 per month (or free with Freeola Broadband), but this is entirely up to you. You do not need to be using a Freeola connection to access this service.

InstantPro Website Builder

If you log into your MyFreeola account, you should be greeted with a message asking you to set-up your new domain. This will launch the Domain Set-up Wizard which will guide you through our hosting package options.

Hope this helps :)
