Help! Want to move from Freeparking.co.uk

carcuscrae

Hi

I currently have my 2 domains registered with Freeparking.co.uk. I don't use them for websites but just so i can have my own personal email addresses. Freeparking offers a free POP3 email service so up until recently it has served me fine.

However, over the last few months I have found the email service becoming worse and very unreliable so I am thinking of moving my domains to another hosting company in the hope I get a better email service.

Can anyone recommend a reliable well priced alternative please? If there is a company that offer free POP3 like Freeparking.co.uk that would be great but I would be willing to pay a small sum to make sure the email is reliable. I have seen UKREG.COM which looks good, does anyone use them?

Any help would be most appreciated. Please remember I am not looking for any website services just an email service.

Many Thanks

I've used Freeparking for around seven years now and have rarely had any problems.

If you really want to move, UK Reg are worth a look, as are 123 Reg.

Assuming freeparking let you change the DNS, use these guys for dns: http://freedns.afraid.org/

If not, change to namecheap or some other decent registrar, and use afraid.org for dns.

Then set it up to use Gmail for webmail/pop3/imap. http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/group/index.html

Do you use there POP3 email service? Are you currently receiving mails ok? I haven't received a mail since lunchtime yesterday and even though I have raised a support ticket no one has got back to me to let me know what is happening!

Yeah, I've got a handful of POP3 accounts.

They ran a little slow for a couple of hours yesterday, but have been fine since.

EDIT: They do appear to be making some fairly extensive changes to their webmail service, though. It looks very different and is being very slow. Maybe that's connected with it...

I wish all it was for me is slow! I am not able to send or receive any mail at all at the moment!

My mail is still not working, is anyone else having issues with Freeparking.co.uk POP3 mail server at the moment?

Thanks

I sent myself a test email from a different (not Free Parking) account and it's not arrived yet. I've had one or two other emails, but not as many as usual...

I've no idea why you're putting up with such a bad service. Move!

If you can tell me an alternative that offers the same service I would!
