Hi jimbo,

make a blank webpage and put:



place this in the tag. ' content="0 ' (0 being time) is an immediate redirect so most will not know it's happened.

hope it helps

Hi jimbo,

There are two main ways of achieving this. The first is to simply upload a re-directing script to your web space (many can be found on a Google search, and are just a simple couple of lines of script). This will simply move any visitors on your site, to where ever you want them to be moved to, ie. another space/web site else where.

The other alternative is to change where the DNS servers point. This can be accessed via your MyFreeola account on the 'Change DNS Settings' page, this can be found on the following link:

Change DNS Settings

Doing this second option will move the hosting and the e-mail accounts away from Freeola, so that a different company will be looking after these aspects for you instead of us. If you wish to change the DNS servers, you will need two server names that look similar to these:

ns3.freeola.net & ns4.freeola.net - These of course are ours, but the other company should have some similar to these. Unfortunately, we do not support IP addresses if they try to give you something along the lines of 195.74.113.58.
