 | 1and1 web hosting added to efree.beWe've just added a 1and1 web hosting offer to efree.be and freexmas.co.uk. To receive credit, simply take out a 'Home' hosting package. They currently have a special offer on, giving 100% off the first six months. Cheers |

If you don't like using a FTP client, they're web based system is pretty fast  They have handy tools as well (not sure if other hosts do) - such as a tool that submits your site to a load of search engines...and a web based sms platform. Seemed a bit random to me but an added bonus none the less

| I can't edit my previous message. I thought the sms thing was free...but it's 0.09p + VAT per text...so similar to on your phone. Boo!

| I'll never host a site or recommend anyone to 1and1. I spoke to them when I was helping a friend switch his account from windows to linux hosting. The person I spoke to didn't know the difference between IIS and Apache.

It sounds quite similar to Sky broadband tech support telling my friend if he was meant to get a static IP it would be in the box...

 O2 broadband try to bump people by offering a Static IP for extra 5 quid a month, where all of their broadband are ADSL2+, which come with static IP as standard...

| Well, technically it's not a static IP - the IP address is assigned to the MAC address of your router. So if you change your routers MAC, you will be assigned a new IP. If for any reason you want to do it there's a few documents kicking about online showing how to do it (I can have a look for you if you like - I think it was on a forum). And theoretically your IP could change...although it really never does. If you were to call and ask for a static IP it would actually be added and provisioned on your account...so accounts aren't set up with one as standard. If that makes sense? I'm making a call today about getting my old job back!

 | If your looking for hosting, send a PM to Ilikefree, as he does hosting for 2.39 a month, with 5 addon domains, UK servers etc. I use them for my main 2 sites, and haven't had any problems with his MSN support
