Review of FreeNetName
FreeNetName is an ISP operating in the UK. Whilst they are primarily an ISP, offering internet access via broadband and dial-up, they distinguish themselves from other ISPs by offering a free .co.uk or .org.uk domain name to all their customers. Only accept UK customers. They do not offer other domain services beyond simple hosting of the single free domain name that they register on their customer's behalf. They don't charge a domain registration feed, but should you decide to move your domain to another host then they do charge a release fee.
FreeNetName are quite adequate if all you require is a simple but functional no frills domain name hosting in the UK.
