105072 2002-12-11 05:37:00 Maybe i was just left in the dark or maybe it was my long absence from pressf1 but how come i had no idea of Orcon halting their free webhosting services!? How come? Why? Are there any other good free internet hosters like wot Orcon was? vk_dre (195)
105073 2002-12-11 05:57:00 Is this for new sign-ups or accross the board.

I am not surprised though. It must be expensive to offer free hosting - especially in the current economic climate

105074 2002-12-11 06:01:00 I've just checked - my page is still there at the moment. R.M. (561)

check This (http://mscandy . orcon . net . nz/)

And theres heaps of others i checked too . . . All still there . . . Now the thing is they made it a little harder to find where to get the free page . . Basicly follow your nose in the direction of get free homepage and dial up, then go and get the free page . Do not accidently fill out any direct-debitforms for dial up connection unless you want one of them as well!

105076 2002-12-11 06:40:00 thanks, but i think i conveyed myself in the wrong manner. All the pages that were there before still are, but when i tried to signup for my brother there was no freehosting option available. Even my site is still up but the thing is that u can't sign in for new ones. I'll try again but i doubt that there is any freehosting by orcon now, and clueless, i will take ur advice, no signing of direct debit forms. :D Thanks to all who replied and all those who will.

cheers,

105077 2002-12-11 06:47:00 www.orcon.net.nz > Jion> fill the form etc

now as said head in the direction of dial up and hosting... it is there, the new site layout is appaling, it took me ¼hour to find the freehost link, but it can still be done

105079 2002-12-11 07:35:00 vk_dre, I found the same thing when i signed up a few months back, i couldn't see/find it, then somebody directed me. It is not clearly titled, and because of where it is, under dial-up as clueless said, you tend not to look there for just a free host, I remember thinking it wouldn't just be me that would have trouble finding it, you have made me feel better :D J ZEP (336)

105081 2002-12-11 09:19:00 Out of curiosity I sign up for a free web site..... i guess I'll have to do something with it now..... and with Christmas nearly upon us too - where'll I get the time?!

Now look what you've done!
