http://www.freehostni.co.uk - FREE WEBSITE HOSTING

We decided to search for a good reliable website hosting company that was extremely cheap! Well we actually wanted one that was FREE! And boy did we find it. We came across a company called free host ni and decided to register for an account to try it out.


We were amazed to find that it offered:
  1. 250mb Disk space (Large enough for any large website)
  2. 6144mb Monthly transfer (Not many ever exceed this)
  3. SQL Databases
  4. Add on domains
  5. Sub Domains
  6. Simple to use control panel
  7. Password protection enabled folders for confidential areas
  8. Automatic script installers
  9. FTP Account
  10. Browser file manager
We tested out this company with a website we had designed. We purposely coded it to be slow but the free host ni servers delivered content extremely fast for a free hosting service. It had 100% up time for the 3 whole months that we tested it for which is amazing.

They also provide free technical support and guide you in every way. This really is a winner in our book and is highly recommended to everyone. We don't believe that you should pay monthly fees for hosting when a company like this provides it for free.

Whats the catch? ... Well there isn't one as such! The only thing to bear in mind is that when you sign up for a free account the company will place one small banner advert at the bottom of the page. This is how they provide their free services. They place one small advert there in the hope that some of your visitors will click it and make them the 2 pence for that click. It isn't much to ask for getting free hosting forever - so we thought anyway.

We asked the company to provide a random customer using the service and they gave the following Euphory Designs London If you click here you can see the small advert at the bottom of the page. It is in no way intrusive.

So FREE HOSTING ! You got it !!

Microsoft Hotmail service outages - NOW RESTORED !!

Microsoft Hotmail, the free email service and provided by Microsoft, was reported down. But now, "Hotmail down" and "Hotmail service unavailable" must be replaced by "Hotmail up" and "Hotmail service now available".

According to Business Week, the massive problems started in the "Windows Live ID service" used to sign in customers. It's also used by XBox customers for online game accounts. More than 460 users Worldwide have accounts, or a population larger than America as a whole.

The problems have been fixed and Microsoft told users that they were sorry. XBOX live is now up and running again also and the ids are now working - I have checked lol.

find out more from Microsoft
