    Quote - PC PRO
    "How about a free internet domain of your own? Yep, it used to cost hundreds of quid to register your own domain, but now you can get them for absolutely nothing.

    There is, of course, a catch - you have to sign up and use the Free Net Name free ISP service ,and you can only collect your mail by dialing in to this ISP.

    However, you do get 20Mb of free web space, and its always handy having a personal vanity domain to play with. Essentially, you have to accept that it might not be perfect, but it's free and we certainly arent beating them off with a stick."
    The url is www.freenetname.co.uk
    Maybe worth a look...

    I'm just having a look through it...
    (Even though I'm not living in the UK, but just out of interest)
    ...you agree that we can advertise and operate promotions by way of banner advertisements on your web space at no charge...

    We may, on one month’s notice introduce a charge for the service. If we introduce a charge you will be able to terminate your use of the service before you become liable to make any payment to us.

    Hmm, seems ok so far, but you know what they say; if it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is.
    They must be profiting from it somehow.
    I'd just prefer to buy a dot com address and not have their banners.

    I think you're better off just paying 35 dollars with www.names4ever.com - they also throw in free hosting (for a banner ad) which is pretty good.

    I just registered What It Says In The Papers there for weekly or daily news reviews (whenever I get around to it :-)

    you need to dial the uk to register your domain and upload the site, and every 90 days to keep the account active.

    just upload some page that redirects to another site.
