can freeola offer free hosting to a domain name registered with gbbo?
Unfortunately we can only provide hosting for a site at your domain if the domain is registered with or transferred to us. As has already been mentioned. you still get full control of your domain.
Hi charililley and welcome to the Freeola forums!
Your post may be a little tricky as Freeola's T&Cs don't allow chat about other hosting services - so don't be too surprised if your post is removed ;¬)
I hadn't heard of GBBO, but after some looking around I can see many others aren't very happy with the service and the restrictions that are in place even though the first year is 'Free'.
My advice would be to perhaps think about transferring your domain to Freeola then you would have complete control of it. Freeola don't charge for transferring a domain in but FYI they do for transferring out.
I'm a big Freeola fan with well over 100 domains registered and hosted with them. I also use Freeola's Broadband service which works well for me in conjunction with their 'standard' hosting. If you don't connect via Freeola there are some restrictions so you should have a read up on how things work!
I hope this helps :¬)
EDIT:
NB I'm just a Freeola customer I'm sure a Freeola staffie will provide an official answer for you :¬)
