Would like a bit of space to host some stuff, pics...etc. How does one go about doing this? Just a case of going through somewhere like Register1.net? Will I need special software to upload stuff?

thanks

What ISP are you with, quite often you get some for free that you just have to ask for.

Dunno with orange, sorry. 99.9% sure that if it is then it won't be free, in which case register1 would be your boy.

No special software, just any old FTP client will do (or for the image gallery, not even that, just a web browser and you're away!)

Point, click, ok.. image uploaded and thumbnail created automatically

Very simply and easy to use.

through some, but for a much much higher price.

We're the cheapest in europe for most of the common tld's
