Ain't that the truth, I'd just got to grips with learning som of the MySQL stuff, uploaded it and it was working ... now it's gone :o(.

Freeola's gotta get MySQL sorted for us lot soon :o).
Comon Tony, make it so.

Anywhere else that hosts MySQL sites for free do you know
of? I don't really want to pay for testing thins out and learning it right now ... as I can't afford it.

Cheers for the info though Rob.

Yeah, they ceased their service near the start of this month. I got an E-mail from them about it:

Subject: Freedom2Surf Free Hosting Service Ends 28th February 2002 - Act Now!
Date: Thu, 6 Dec 2001 20:37:30 GMT

Hello,

We're contacting you as a subscriber to the Freedom2Surf's
experimental free web hosting service.

At Freedom2Surf we're constantly updating our web hosting
service and one of our big concerns is to make sure we have
the highest standards of customer service. To be able to
provide this we have decided to discontinue the experimental
free hosting service that we have been running.

The service will continue until February 28th 2002 after
which time any websites which have not transferred to our
Global Hosting package will be closed.

But don't panic! To switch your website from the free
hosting service to our Global Hosting package, couldn't be
easier and it's excellent value, you get:

+ .com domain name registration
+ Telephone and email support
+ online web statistics
+ Frontpage extensions
+ PHP4 and Perl CGI
+ MySQL database
+ 20Mb webspace included

Only £36 + VAT per year!

(N.B. Non-UK users do not have to pay VAT, as a rough guide,
£36 is approx EUR 57.50 and $51.50)

Other options available include:

- email service
- extra web space
- extra database space
- web-based and POP3 based email hosting
- .biz domain name

TO PURCHASE:
------------------------------------------------------------
You can easily purchase web and email hosting, just log in
using the members log-in page at:

https://secure.freedom2surf.net/home/member.htm

Then click on register domain name and follow the
instructions. This will ensure that your selected services
are unaffected after February 28th 2002.

We hope the changes ahead won't cause too much trouble for
you and that you will stay with Freedom2Surf.
