From the early 2000s, I made about 15 different websites using that free web space. (You got 100MB and free customer support if it was a subscription account, I had a few of these also) To get support on the free accounts you had to phone a premium number)
They were still up and running up until last October (although lots of code was redundant and didn’t work anymore) HTML 1, DHTML, PHP, but EIR decided to delete all of them. If you went to your homepage.eircom.net/~User-Name/ you were told to download your site before it gets wiped, for good.
I also remember about 15+ years ago, when you went to log-in, you were asked to reset your password because of some security issue. . . But you needed to ring a premium Eircom number to get that fixed.
I’m happy AF my stuff got deleted as it was top of Google if you searched for me. 😉

20MB is more than enough to hold a website with some personal details and a few pictures. Definetly missing on the modern web where I’m paying 50 quid a year for a domain and a bit of server space.

It’s room enough for all your PDF and GIF.

I remember (yes I am old) when Hotmail limited you to 5mb of storage and you’d never get close to it. When I was an Exchange admin I limited the max size of an email to 1.4mb, if it didn’t fit on a floppy disk why would you email it?

And the hassle setting this up on Windows 2000, XP just to get into Yahoo chat rooms 😋

They look so happy about it. And so excited for the bright future ahead…
I actually miss that part of the old internet the days of personal web sites the likes of [Eircom.net](http://Eircom.net) and Yahoo Geocities
