namehog.net (of whom I'd never heard before). And the host machine appears to be one of their dns servers. Hmmmmm. This sort of information can be obtained from commands like whois, dig or even host.

It seems to work well on my RISC OS browsers - although looks somewhat different on Fresco and Oregano 1.

Yes, "appears to be" is the operative phrase here. I was wanting to be certain, as I have already tried reverse dns and got timeouts after certain hops. I am not very good at this investigative malarkey WRT the old internet, so was looking for clarification.

My question was originally based on establishing whether or not he was having his commercially oriented website hosted on his ISP's personal webspace allocation, which could possibly result in him having the plug pulled on it if they found out. (He and I share the same ISP and BB connection speeds) In his case, it is not a certainty as this area is a bit vague in terms of their A.U.P. But I was going to suggest he runs this past their abuse team to give it the once over and get the OK first, before steaming off into the wide blueyonder. However, I think you are right, and he has got his bases covered with a commercial hosting provider.

Could you tell me how this is done?

I use Opera and run a community website; I would love to use this feature - I must admit I don't keep several browsers installed, though I should.

(I've found a thing called Styles, but it doesn't seem to do what you describe)

In Opera, select Tools > Preferences > Advanced > Browsing > Show window size (in v. 8.5)

View > Styles > User Mode allows setting text-only browser emulation etc. Shift-F11 allows narrow window mode emulating mobile phones etc.

I put Opera on the PC I used at the training centre where I was doing my ECDL. Using it in text mode / full screen freaked out the instructor.
