    Well I've leeched enough from this website and now it's about time I contributed!

    Digiweb.ie are offering a free domain name and a years free hosting for 3rd level students. They are a well established company with decent reviews. (I don't work for them) I even hear rumours that boards.ie might be hosted by them!

    Admittedly I have not yet availed of this offer myself.

    Total Value= €56.83

    Check out the link below:

    I signed up for this 2 days ago, got the email verification and replied to it but haven't heard anything since...

    Has anybody else got their account details?

    They might have to verify every application with each college I suppose.

    Isn't the college branded email address the verification system they use?

    I applied today for this deal and got this reply after a few hours:

    Assume they operate M-F business hours so fingers crossed....

    I lashed off an email to digiweb at 15:50 complaining I had got no further correspondence from them...

    Got my account details at 16:35 :D


    Nice one OP, thanks.

    Good to hear. Just checked my email and my account was set up at 17:04 PM.

    Think you might have motivated them!

    I got mine fairly quickly, i applied yesterday and got the second email today, i did apply after 5 though so you can understand why it wasnt sorted until today. 2gb's of space and a .net address aint shabby for sweet **** all :D thanks to the OP :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,818 ✭✭✭Gauge


    Anyone who already has an account from last year try to re-apply for a new one yet? :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,575 ✭✭✭✭ednwireland


    i've got a coup;e of websites here http://www.110mb.com if you want an alternative


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,628 ✭✭✭Asok


    To all the people who signed up around this time last year this should be some good news :Dhttp://hosting.digiweb.ie/news/

    Oh yeah I should mention that as the applications are being processed manually to make sure no naughty spammers sign up all the applications get done in batches so if you do not hear a response after you verify your e-mail account give it a few days and you should receive your login details as your batch is processed!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,297 ✭✭✭Ron DMC


    For all the students who signed up last year we have great news! We shall be renewing your domain and package for another year free of charge!

    How do they if you're still a student this year? Surely some people would have been in final year.

    And tbh, I think I set up wordpress and that was it, haven't used it at all, might get around to it this year though.


    EDIT: Yep, I should really update things a bit.

    Woohoo! :) I really like my domain name, won't have to worry about losing it now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,814 ✭✭✭TPD


    Got mine too. Must get designing a site now...
