    aren't they the ppl who sell you a domain cheaply but then put ads all over the place
    and charge you extra to get rid of them? (when you add that its more than a decent ordinary domain host)

    Well i have my domain and hosting with them. I ve been waiting for cgi and php etc from them for ages they keep saying next month and have done so for about 6 months. They do charge you extra for ad removal and that. Also they are planning to charge extra for cgi and php etc. But what finally pissed me off is that you have to pay for DNS management so i cant even move my domain to a web host with cgi etc without having to pay them more. At the start it looks like a good deal but after a while to upgrade it ends up costing you loads, oh yeah they also charged me money to get an extra 100 email addresses rather then the deafault 1.

    that is pretty crap !

    you can move the domain to a new ISP quite easily if it's gTLD, like a .com .org .net .info or .biz

    if you've got a UK domin, such as .co.uk or .org.uk - you can email nominet, ( nominet@nominet.org.uk ) and ask them to intervene. UK2 may not be to switch the ISP-tag of the domain though, and i don't think nominet can force them (otherwise people who owned a domain through freenetname.co.uk could have just taken away the domain for nothing) and so you might have to pay a small charge.

    on the webhosting front....I plan to start my own small Hosting service in a month or so....and with any luck i'll be able offer quite a few people hi-speed dirt cheap hosting :) [just can't use tooo much bandwidth]

    i think its an IPStag btw :p

    get your domain transfered somewhere decent - i found freeparking.co.uk are good, including free dns zone management thru control panel

    alternativly 34sp do domains... but no fancy control panel from them... but equivalent prices and friendly company directors :p
