Freeola is likely to be offering an 0800 dail-up service in the very near future, paid by monthly subscription.
Domains from Get Dotted are excellent value and although we would prefer you to connect to the internet via Freeola all the time, you really only need to do so when you are uploading.
Note that "free unlimited hosting" refers to web space and sites which are offering streaming data are not allowed as they would breach the bandwidth and data transfer restrictions.

Er, not sure I get your drift. There is no online WYSIWYG editor, just FTP access. FTP is a little wierd. You have to put everything apart from CGI perl scripts into the /htdocs directory. CGI perl scripts go in /cgi-shl but the server path is /cgi-bin . For your purposes though, you don't need to worry about that. If you are using CGI though, full instructions are provided.
