I've got an instant site with on a domain registered with you. What I want to use it for hasn't taken off as I thought - mainly through me not have enough time to take pictures.

If I want to use an online album such as Picasa - can I set up my domain to redirect to the Picasa address? If so, how?

Cheers.

In MyFreeola:

View/Edit Domain Details > Web Forwarding

Change the forwarding details as required.
Not sure if the Instant Site will have complicated things though.

Another option would be to just add links to send visitors to your other address...

Ok, how about this. If I want to remove the Instant Site part, and just leave my domain to be hosted by Freeola, can I do that?

I can just FTP in all my files, right?

Yes, but you will be required to sign up for VIP Hosting if you don't want to use one of our internet connections. VIP is charged at £3.49 per month and will allow FTP access from any connection.

Please note, that cancelling your InstantPro service will cancel the hosting and your site will no longer be displayed on-line. The content that you have created using this service will also be lost and will not be 'ported' to the standard or VIP Hosting server.

Ok, thanks for the info. I need to have a think as I wanted to get away from paying for the Instant Pro site, but obviously the monthly fee works out about the same.

Cheers for the quick reply though!

Sorry, another query - how much web-space would I get if I did move over?

Cheers!

Same as you did with InstantPro, there are no limits to the amount of space you can use providing that it is all 'web-visible' (i.e. you don't use the server for a backup) and that the material is not copyrighted to somebody other than yourself.
