GBBO - Anybody tried this?

Getting British Business Online

Don't know how legitimate this is, or if there's a catch. But at first glance it appears to be a decent free service.

Anybody fancy testing it out?

Had a go spent a couple of hours building the site then it kept crashing after it supposedly went live. Had some rep ring me once told him my problems and he said he would ring back in a few weeks to help if i hadnt got me head round it that was 3 month ago:mad2:

Is it completely free then?

 

[b30 villain]

yeah completely free mate but a waste of time IMO maybe im just a computer mong(wouldnt surprise me:loland i did something wrong

 

[Dan]

Well if somebody manages to get it working and online perhaps they can give you a couple of pointers mate.

I'll take a look myself if it does appear to be half decent. Would be nice to see what it's capable of doing.

I just had a look around, the only catch, if it works, I can see is the fee after two years, it says small, but what is a small fee? and would I be tied in with it? It says no, but something doesn't feel quite right... I passed the link on to Howard, he'll take a look, too.

I don't think it is a scam, i looked at it a couple of months ago and from memory it has government backing or may even be run by the state, but I quickly gave up when as it seemed buggie

One i'm looking at the moment is 'locallinkup', i noticed somebody else had a free website done by them and it seems to be a business network only just got through my login details a few hours ago (i registered 1/2 days ago). It seems quite good and free but haven't looked around enough yet....

When does your free domain name become active?

.co.uk domain names are around £2.50 per year, minimum 2 years, so a fiver. I think they stand the cost for the first 2 years, but then you pay thereafter. So far, other than that, I can't see any catch.

It's using Googlesites, which is free anyway, but it's tagging a domain to it for you, so I don't see how they could 'take it off you' or bill your for it laterto be honest Gi. I think it might be a good thing this.

Must be me then :lol:

 

[b30 villain]

have you tried google searching idm to see if its up yet

 

[Colour Republic]

just noticed it's powered by googlesites, which seemed to be one of the better easier to use free template websites
