New ISP required - moving from Orange!

Hi,

Been with Freeserve for along time - 2gb

NewNet do 3GB a month for

IdNet do a Lite package at

As John2007 says, get your email away from your ISP. At Purple Cloud you register your own domain for

Check out the "madasafish" website and ISP forum here on TBB, worth a look

Thanks but whats the advantage of own em address - how do I check what co.uk addresses available? Thanks again

The main advantage is the separation of functions. E-mail, like free web-space, is used by some ISPs to help tie in customers to that ISP. When the ISP becomes ropey users are reluctant to move because they have to change e-mail address, web-site host etc. as well as ISP.

There are many sites you can use to check and register a domain. Try www.godaddy.com.

When you want get a domain, you can have any name for it you like, as long as it is not already taken. Most decent .co.uk domains are taken, much more choice if you try a .me.uk one.

u can get a domain for email or get a gmail.com one, seems i have a few to give away on 3 accounts, something like 2-3 gb of storage, one day will ge domain but not yet

Some of us just like a name we chose, without the "gmail" bit in it. For
