Webuser Forums: any FREE hosting website ? just 5-6 web pages

Hiya
It wasn't me that suggested Heartinternet it was Jedi. I took a look at Heart last night and I remember looking at their 'free hosting' quite some time ago. I can't remember why but I decided against them in the end. Also, in the cobwebs of my mind I seem to recall them being associated with Reg 123 but don't quote me on that.

As for being charged by 1and1 for transferring your domain name, I don't think this is true. I certainly wasn't charged by 1and1 when I left them, in fact I got a refund on the unused hosting that I'd paid for in advance. I think it is probably Heart who are charging you for having your domain name transferred to them. Perhaps their normal offer is that you get free hosting through them if you buy a domain name off them which is perhaps quite a high charge? I don't know how much they're charging I haven't looked. Hope this helps. Read carefully through all the help on 1and1's site about transferring domains away from them.

NB. I've just had a thought. If you only purchased a domain name from 1and1 and didn't have a hosting package with them, perhaps then they charge for releasing your domain name. The money that you pay to 1and1 for your domain name, as far as I know, goes to Nominet UK who look after the register of all .uk domain names, so perhaps if you don't have hosting from 1and1 they need to cover their costs. Just a thought.

Nothing is ever straightforward, but how boring would that be?
