    hey, has anyone used freehost.ie?

    whats the catch?
    i'm making a small website for a small shop and so i need a small hosting plan.
    the smallest one that they have on freehost.ie ideal.

    the business has its domain already so whats invloved in this transfer process so i can get free hosting?

    its only a basic html website and the owner does not want any email access as its not necessary.

    any info appreciated.

    Freehost.ie give you free hosting in return for which you pay a marginally higher price for the domain name.
    What's the problem with that?

    I use freehost - have had no problems - good customer service too.

    Good value, all in all.

    nothing wrong with it, but he asked what the catch was and i pointed it out, they make their money on the transferrals and sales ... so no such thing as a totally free lunch

    ... yes it does seem reasonanble though even with this taken into consideration.
