Thanks Freeola
i have been with freeola for only short time but so far i have found them to be great with good speeds and pings, unlimited web space and a help desk that actually calls you back when they say they will - fantastic
i remember the special reserve days as i had a free pay as you go account with them as a backup dialup connection.

lol, same as m8, special reserve were gr8 for games, had the amiga too, i brought a 250mb harddrive for my amiga which plugged no the side and was near on half the size of the computer. Lemmings was a very addictive game also cannon fodder, classics! The best game i brought from SR was an adventure game Elvera, it came on a collection of 13 floppy disks and took a good month to complete.
In fact SR were that good for games i even got in my car 1 saturday morning after deciding on friday night i wanted a new game and drove 80 miles to thier shop in bishop stortford just to buy a new game cos their fast delivery just wasn't fast enough to get the game to me ready to play that day, but sadly 20 miles into my 80 mile home run i broke down and didn't get home until tea time.lol.
Anyway those days are behind us now but at least the gr8 service is still with us in the form of Freeola.

its, erm, Holden_McGroin :( TeamFortress2 simiancage UK servers best fun with HLXStats.
played the original (quake) Team fortress, then Team Fortress classic, both on 1p a minute freeola dialup lol, now TF2, Its just such daft cartoonish fun nowadays, but great on the Source Engine.
we better get the thread get back to freeola comments, eh ;) lol = so here you are.
I remember the original Special Reserve ( if You wondered where your SR username came from, there you are!), and I used to buy amiga games by mail order from their catalogue, mostly for the kids, but some for me lol. ....All on floppies. Me and th Mrs spent hours of harmless fun on lemmings lol.
They sold hardware too. I even bought 2mb of amiga ram from special reserve/freeola, it cost about £120 for the 2mb "ram pack" back in 1991 or 92 whenever it was, and countless joysticks.
They were even good do buy from way back then, stuff arrived very quickly, and i reckon half the time they didn't even wait for the cheques to clear.
I never reaslised I was signing up with the same people years later when I saw a letter in PC gamer about 1p a minute dialup internet, then i saw the "special reserve" section on the freeola site, and that was it, the penny dropped.
The rest was history. Next thing was a world war one downloads site on freeola "free" hosting, then my business, then came freeola broadband at home, then at work as well.
I buy most of me domains with freeola. I bought a domain the other day, CornwallTube and had the site up and running within an hour. everything had been sorted out, web space, the lot, in the time it took me to eat me tea.
Outstanding - all round.

Soz to all for talking gaming in the web design forum.

you are right :) ive been using freeola for about ten years now. And I have two ISP accounts with them, one for home one for business.
Most importantly our business is now more online than over the shop counter, and so the reliabilty has helped our business.
The support is exceptional as well. Either by phone, email or via the forums.
And i get blinding pings playing team fortress and call of duty too ;)
What more can you want!
My first web site with freeola was years ago, on dial-up, nobody much in the UK had broadband at home then. it was a flight simulator site offering free downloads, and I had almost a gig of free downloads on it, and 1000s of visitors a day - all that on free hosting, and it had 100 percent up-time most years.
Apart from the 1p a minute uploading on dialup (anybody remember that lol) I never figured out how they managed to give unlimited web space and bandwidth for peanuts, but i guess it paid off for them, because Im not the only customer with home and business accounts with them now.
Ive got friends who use freeola hosting for their business sites, and I've not heard anyone with a bad word to say about them.
Well Pleased. Brilliant.
