Hrmm, really? Strange, coz I've never had a problem like that.

Same here!! - It's not that I'm cheap or anything, it's just that I
believe that the internet was given away free, & was supposed to
remain that way. That's why I prefer not to throw money at
the 'problem'.
Now, down to business:
If you're really willing to pay for hosting, make sure you do your
reasearch, and as your site is *only* on Derren, and doesn't have
very large downloads, I really don't think it's worth it!!
Besides, if you did happen to pay for hosting, you'd need to find a
way to cover your costs (unless your a very nice/rich, generous
guy :o) The most 'obvious' way would be through advertising. And if
I'm not mistaken, freeservers allows for you to do that, and make
monet at the same time.
Okay, listen up.... >;)
What's your isp? AOL? freeserve? or what??
Usually I find that ISP's offer you the ABSOLUTE BEST 'free'
webspace, that you're entitled to when you sign up with them. AOL's
one is pretty good, so is 'cox.net' (american, i think). And best of
all, I've never heard of them having any sortof bandwidth
restrictions.
Obviously, a downfall for that would be that you may get a rather
long url like members.isp.net/username/blah blah blah. But what can
you do for that!?!? Well, it's simple, you use the one you already
have from 150m.com. Just forward the users request to your ISP
account, AND HEY PRESTO, IT WORKS!! And it's all freeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!
Don't you just love that word! >:)
If you need anymore help, please don't hesitate to e-mail me, I
remember you helping me out not so long ago...
Thanks...

No, I don't think it is. It's only the 3 parts that have already been
aired. MC4 wouldn't be much of a christmas 'special' then would it? :D
Also, it's only 3 hours. JUST enough time to show 3! :))

LOL, subliminal messages...
Right, or use my idea...somehow, get a 'trial 24 hours'. I think I'll
try that first!! :)
