» All .me.pn websites will stop working by June 2018 - [March 4, 2018]

Unfortunately, as per the previous news .PN Registry decided not to let their domains ending on .PN to be used for free website hosting services any more. I.e. they made a final decision and thus all .eu.pn websites stopped operating few months ago, while .me.pn sites are still working at the time of posting this news.

However, we'd like to warn all our free hosting service users that all .me.pn websites will be stopped due to the Registry decision by June 2018 or earlier.

So that, if you are still using .me.pn for any of your sites, we'd strongly recommend to urgently move your site(s) to one of the reliable free short domains provided via FreeHostingEU.com Control Panel:

- Domain Names -> Free Domains (Subdomains) sections.

We apologize for the inconvenience and we thank you for understanding!

» All .eu.pn/.me.pn websites might stop working soon - [August 30, 2017]

Unfortunately, it seems that .PN Registry that is the entity that controls and rules all domain names with .PN extension might come to the decision to stop operation of .eu.pn/.me.pn domain names and as a result of these actions all websites with .eu.pn/.me.pn extensions will stop working.

It looks like .PN Registry is not happy any more with the fact that FreeHostingEU.com utilizes .eu.pn/.me.pn domain names for website hosting purposes, as they believe such use might harm the reputation of .PN extension through possible abuse accomplished by users of our web hosting services at their .eu.pn/.me.pn websites.

We are working hard to negotiate with .PN Registry to enable some reasonable timeframes for our clients that use .eu.pn/.me.pn domains to let them transfer their websites to other domain names. However, that's not clear yet if .PN Registry is willing to allow some time to move smoothly, and they might make a final decision to stop operation of .eu.pn/.me.pn domain names quite soon.

So, all our clients who use .eu.pn/.me.pn domains are advised to urgently transfer their websites to the other domain names that are available in the "Domain Names" section of their web hosting account Control Panel.

We apologize for the inconvenience and we thank you for understanding!

We'll do our best to resolve this issue with the minimum impact to our web hosting clients.

» MySQL Database Storage has been upgraded! - [February 1, 2017]

The latest release of Joomla resulted in the significant increase of database disk space used for a basic Joomla installation that comes to 9.98MB. Before this update our FREE hosting plan provided just 10MB of MySQL disk space that turned to be insuficient for a basic installation. So we decided to increase the MySQL space for the FREE hosting plan from 10MB to 30MB and for the BEST hosting plan from 50MB to 100MB.

Please see the changes in our web hosting plans here.

Please also note that these changes will not affect the functionality of websites of our existing clients whether they use free .eu.pn/.me.pn domains or paid/free .com, .net, .org, etc. domain names. Also all web pages and interfaces of hosting.eu.pn site have been smoothly redirected to a new freehostingeu.com site, so our clients should not notice any changes at all.

However, those clients that use our free domain hosting service with domain names registered via 3rd party registrars should change the name servers at their domain registrar from:
ns1.eu.pn
ns2.eu.pn

to the following nameservers:
ns1.freehostingeu.com
ns2.freehostingeu.com

We will also send a reminder to change the nameservers to all our clients via email, and we'd recommend make changes as soon as possible to avoid service interruptions.
