| Domain Name Search Rules
Here is our guide to the various top and second level domains you can register at GetDotted.com. You'll also see an indication to availability and what your web site and e-mail addresses will look like if you choose that type of domain.
|
|
You are strongly advised against registering somebody elses name or a trademark unless you have the owners permission to do so. Such registrations may be treated as 'abusive' registrations by Nominet and in the case of objection by a third party, the domain name could be legally removed from you without compensation.
|
- Avoid offensive names and other people's trademarks.
- New domain names must be three letters or more and consist only of A-Z, 0-9 and dashes.
- If a two word name such as domainname.com is not available, consider hyphenating it as domain-name.com.
|
- If your surname such as honeyford.com is not available, consider the plural honeyfords.com.
- You can register as many domain names as you like. If you don't want them later, just let them expire.

It was about time I said thanks...... |
| Just thought that after all the years our whole family has dealt with Freeola, it was about time I said thanks for an excellent service and, on the odd occassion we have needed it, great support.
Thanks again. |
|
You guys are just awesome!... |
| I have been using your services for some time, have recommended you to loads of people and sing your praises wherever I go but I wanted to let YOU know how much I appreciate you, too! Whenever I have had a problem that I couldn't find the answer to on your site, I have telephoned and have always met with a courteous and helpful response. Nothing is ever too much trouble and you have always investigated possibilities for me rather than just say 'No, we can't do that' - a response I have received far too often from other ISP's. Your service and support exceeds most paying ISP's - you really do inspire hope for the future. It is just so refreshing to get such an honest and genuine service. Thank you for everything and long live Freeola! |

|
Thanks for that...... |
| Worked like a charm, again proof why i continue using you guys for our ADSL connection and web hosting. Fixed in 10 mins flat! |
|
Thank you to all the Freeola Team, for all the service I have received in the past.... |
| I am simply writing to say a big Thank You for the excellent free service you provide. I have been one of your customers for many years and am still amazed as I was at the start at the quality of your service. I know people who pay a lot of money to have their sites hosted and get much less in return. |
