Unhappy f2s.com is going to be a paid service !!!
Sad news !!!!!!

Just got a mail from f2s.com that they are gonna end up there free service in Feb 2002. Such a shock !!!

I can't live without it.

I mean, one of the greatest free hosting service you can find. You can get a very cool sub domain like www.jdk.f2s.com . You have mysql, you have perl, you have php even posgresql. That too you signup and next day everything is ready !!!

I can't live without email as sweet as jdk@f2s.com. my good ness, I wonder what I would do. Those names are like my identity now.

I wonder I would be able to spare those dollars which they are asking ?? Any good souls here in , can do me a favor ???

JD

This is the mail I got.

Hello,

We're contacting you as a subscriber to the Freedom2Surf's
experimental free web hosting service.

At Freedom2Surf we're constantly updating our web hosting
service and one of our big concerns is to make sure we have
the highest standards of customer service. To be able to
provide this we have decided to discontinue the experimental
free hosting service that we have been running.

The service will continue until February 28th 2002 after
which time any websites which have not transferred to our
Global Hosting package will be closed.

But don't panic! To switch your website from the free
hosting service to our Global Hosting package, couldn't be
easier and it's excellent value, you get:

+ .com domain name registration
+ Telephone and email support
+ online web statistics
+ Frontpage extensions
+ PHP4 and Perl CGI
+ MySQL database
+ 20Mb webspace included

Only £36 + VAT per year!

(N.B. Non-UK users do not have to pay VAT, as a rough guide,
£36 is approx EUR 57.50 and $51.50)

Other options available include:

- email service
- extra web space
- extra database space
- web-based and POP3 based email hosting
- .biz domain name

TO PURCHASE:
------------------------------------------------------------
You can easily purchase web and email hosting, just log in
using the members log-in page at:

https://secure.freedom2surf.net/home/member.htm

Then click on register domain name and follow the
instructions. This will ensure that your selected services
are unaffected after February 28th 2002.
------------------------------------------------------------

To read more information on our services, check out:
http://www.freedom2surf.net/products%20&%20services

Or you can email us at mailto:sales@freedom2surf.net

We hope the changes ahead won't cause too much trouble for
you and that you will stay with Freedom2Surf.


The Freedom2Surf Team

that's 0 good news. There are lots better deals than that nowadays that offer more.

Heck http://www.spaceports.com offers more or the same as that and it's a free service.
