Benefits of signing up to AOL UK as your Internet Service Provider
1. Make use of your free webspace supplied to you by AOL UK
First off the best way to design your website is by using a separate webpage design program (not the basic wizard that is built into the AOL software).
You will need to obtain a FTP program in order to transfer the webpages from your PC to your webspace. There are many free programs (and trials) available online to do this. Do a search on Google for CuteFTP, WS_FTP, or just 'Free FTP Client'. Once you have chosen your FTP client, downloaded it, and installed it, you will require the following settings to connect to your webspace.
Hostname: members.aol.com
Username: anonymous
Password: Your AOL e-mail address (incl @aol.com)
2. Standard Rate Customer Service, Technical and Billing Support
You can call them on their standard rate telephone number 0117 919 1100 - instead of their advertised 0870 number. If you need to contact AOL whilst outside the UK, you can call them direct on their Ireland telephone number (which would be charged at the standard international call rate).
