Morning all.

I appreciate people will be busy this morning but it someone could provide a likely ETA for normal service it would be much appreciated - either on the Status page or here?

Thanks in advance.
NB. twitter.com/Freeola would work well for Service updates and if the outage was affecting your website you could still reach the world :¬)

No - on the contrary, and I am positive you will agree, the response represents a magnificent service by Freeola?

I have never hid from you that I am a moderator - regular chat user would know this by the colour of the font used , being a moderator has not stopped me complaining in the past nor will it in the future, that said why would I be ashamed of Freeola they have provided me with many years of good service, I hear many horror storys from friends about BT, Tiscali etc etc etc about how bad there customer service is and think how lucky we have been with Freeola, yes they have the odd outage but a lot less than other ISPs

so we dont know when the replacement server will be up and running but whenever it is we will have 48 hours of disruption after that. Great. I may as well start my weekend now and drown my sorrows over the business lost

Afternoon everyone and welcome to the forums for those that have only recently arrived.

I'm another forum moderator by the way :¬)
Digitrader is just a keen Freeola user like me, to those that are asking. 'Moderator' status on these forums just goes to show some users are more frequent and involved members of this forum.
I'm nothing to do with Freeola apart from having well over 100 domains with them and numerous ADSL lines and happy to recommend and use their services.

If you look through my previous posts you will find that I am nearly ALWAYS first to pull up Freeola when there are Service issues - but some of the newbies here seem to be getting rather silly.

Yes this is hurting, my business and those that I support aren't happy but these things happen and I'm sure lessons will be learnt.

To those with life saving mission critical services depending on Freeola's email service I would suggest you should be using a provider that gives an SLA.

The difference between Freeola and other larger companies is that there is some dialogue rather than just a cold corporate 'service down' message.

Evening Hmmm and Digi and to all new comers.

I'm not a moderator, but I am a frequent Forum user, been with Freeola for many years and will add support to anything that Hmmm and Digi have been trying to do and advise during this 'problem'.

It's happened and nearly everybody - small to large, is going to be affected, as has been shown by some of our new members. There isn't alot we can do and chucking insults may help the 'chucker' but it certainly won't mend a broken server.

I, personally, have missed a number of important emails - but what the heck - I'll have to use the telephone during the next few days to try and rectify the problems that have now mutiplied. Such is life:-)

@Hmmm and Digi, keep up the sterling work:-)

Freeola & GetDotted are rated 5 Stars

Check out some of our customer reviews below:

10/10
Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
Wonderful...
... and so easy-to-use even for a technophobe like me. I had my website up in a couple of hours. Thank you.
