Free Web Hosting

WORST HOSTING COMPANY EVER

Advantages: NOTHING AT ALL
Disadvantages: TOO MANY TO SAY

I have been with UK2 for a long time, I always have problems with them, ie website disapeared, no email for days, mail server failed, the recent one is NO ONE ANSWERING PHONE CALLS, NO ONE, including premium telephone line technical support, sales, billing........bla bla....no single phone call has been answered! can you believe that! They leave me with no choice to change the hosting company, because NO ONE there, can't even get in touch with them ...
...and cost me £10+vat to FORCE them to transfer it. Because I have two domain names with uk2, when I try to transfer the second one, they won't allow me to cancel my domain service only because I only have this domian for 1 year 11months and 30 days, under THEIR rules I have to pay administration fee if I don't have a domain longer than 2 YEARS, I would rather die to pay them more money, they should be lucky I didn't sue them for lost of business. ...

Extremely unreliable shared hosting on Fasthosts

Advantages: Cheapish
Disadvantages: Really unreliable

I have had a Fasthosts shared Linux hosting for three months and it is unbearable. There are errors with the site loading every single day. The technical support people haven't done anything other than to tell me that there is no "Service Level Agreement" for their shared hosting, which means they can provide you with a terrible service and you can't do anything. Errors range from regular stints of <30sec downtime (scores per day), to longer outages ...

I'm over the MOON with the FRUIT of my labour

Advantages: Easy to use, looks professional, very cheap!
Disadvantages: lack of fonts, some features require advanced knowledge

As a graphic designer, I know enough about HTML to get me by but not enough to create a flashy professional looking site that I desire. That was until I found Moonfruit, recommended to me by a friend, I thought I may as well give it a try (free 14 day trial) and sat down to start my site. After a few hours, I was shocked to find that I had almost finished the site apart from a few tweaks here and there. I had inserted my own music into the jukebox ...
...sites, I had even pointed the site to my own domain name and It looked great! Best of all it took me hardly any time at all. That was 6 months ago and I now host all my websites on moonfruit and I am really happy with both the site creator in itself and with the help you recieve from the friendly geeks in the forum if you ask them nicely enough they'll do anything to help you! I now run a shop through Moonfruit alongside my other websites and I ...

Review of moonfruit.com

freeparking.co.uk support is terrible.

Advantages: Can *supposedly* manage everything online with no human interaction necessary.
Disadvantages: Not much help when the online systems break down, with no way to get hold of a human.

Freeparking.co.uk has absolutely terrible support. While attempting to renew a domain they are the registrar for, their Credit Card processing system denied three separate valid cards (from three different card holders, too). They have no phone contact information, and their web contact is next to useless. It took them *four* days to update my support ticket to "Senior support are looking into this. " Some help, huh? When I nagged them further about ...

Dont go near them

Advantages: You get a free domain
Disadvantages: Overcharging and unauthorised charges

I signed up for a free domain and hosting. After about a year they closed my website down and made me sign up for their Justmail account before they would reinstate it. I ended up being consistently overcharged for their basic "Justmail" account which they refused to correct. Furthermore, they will charge you 25 pounds to move your domain away from their service. When I moved my domain, they continued to charge my credit card for services they ...
...they are indifferent to your needs as a customer. In short, if you want your own domain, shop around, you can have your own domain elsewhere for about 5 pounds for two years and have it hosted for free and you wont be overcharged or have unauthorised charges on your credit card. ...
