Jolly - beware of them, and make sure to ask of any freebe you find - when they go bust you often lose your domain, so get advise before you jump in.

TimeChange - That IP does not work - or is it just my ISP?

:D

It was a joke, that's the "localhost" IP that works if your OWN computer runs a server :D

In other words, introspective reply :D

the isp freenetname.co.uk used to do this, but they stopped taking new accounts a year ago or so, you could only FTP to the site when you were dialled up to them, same with e-mail.

It was also just plain html pages, no server side scripting such as cgi, asp, php etc.

And they charged £90 to change IPS tags or nameservers .:eek:
