For my webspace I use a company called Freeola. They offer the usual 0845 local rate dialup and give you email and as much free web space as you require subject only to the usual restrictions that anything you store is visible to other web users (i.e. it's a public page not your own personal online storage space). They don't oblige me to put adverts etc on there, but i've been so impressed with their service (simple but fantastic is how i'd describe it) I voluntarily put a little "free webspace provided by Freeola" line on the home page. You get "unlimited" webspace - "unlimited" is defined, but as long as it's all "visible" (i.e. a page or download links etc etc) we QLers are very unlikely to run out of space. The only thing with ISPs like Freeola is that you have to use their dialup (or their broadband) to upload your pages (they have to make money somehow), whereas webspace providers like Lycos generally let you upload from an ISP of your choice with any FTP software. I don't mind this because they are a reliable ISP who provide a good service. I don't know if they spam filter or not, but I seem to get very little spam from the freeola (UK6 DOT NET) addresses. -- Dilwyn Jones -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
