Freenetname

When every other company was plugging their "free" internet service where you only paid for the phone calls, freenetname went on better. They charge no monthly fee, local dial in costs and then threw in a domain name! Ease To Install: I didn't have any problems installing/setting up the connection. Mind you, it has to be said that I work with computers all day, so I would hope that I don't have any problems with something like setting up an internet connection. But it all looked pretty simple to me. Knowing what you connect to: I always like to know all the individual settings, what the mail ... more

In a World of numerous Internet Service Providers(ISP) you require a gimmick to get noticed and Freenetname's is unsurprisingly a free net name. Unfortunately for quite a while Freenetname was little more than just a free domain name but that is changing as recently they have joined forces with Infospace who now provide their specialist content. Sport, finance, entertainment, news and all the other general things you would to expect to find are now covered via Infospace. The web site is quite well laid out but resembles a web portal as most of the links are external. There is a directory type ... more

Before I even begin to express my opinion I must make it clear that if you want to know how many email addresses and webspace you get from freenetname.co.uk then I suggest you visit their website.

This is precisely, in my opinion, what Freenetname.co.uk has managed to achieve. The advantages of ... more

Mostly freenetname is known for the fact that they offer you a free domain, however, the service does go beyond that. As far as I have tried, freenetname is the most reliable and quickest free ISP I have ever used. The reiability is good and disconnects are rare. Connection lags are also very rare and download speeds are brilliant for a free ISP (they are as fast as most pay-for-ISP's). They also offer you a free domain (registration + hosting). The only down side being that you have to connect to the internet via their dial-up to upload information or download email. Apart from that though ... more

Freenetname are an exellent ISP. They provide a reasonably fast connection, e-mail, a free .co.uk or .org.uk web domain, and redirect it to their servers where you can build your own website about whatever you like. Freenetname are nearly always in operation, in the last 6 months I have only known them to be offline on one occasion, which is much better than many other ISP's. Freenetnames newsgroup facility is exellent, providing many more groups than other ISP's. Everyone should use this service, especially those who need a website, as freenetname refrain from filling your website with ... more
