I have hosted a few sites at 1 and 1 for a year or two. I have enjoyed having my sites there until they no longer supported Front Page. I don’t recall getting sent any notification that they were going to stop supporting this product, so it took me off guard and I am having to change all my websites over. Which is not fun. Other than this issue, I have been pleased with 1 and 1 in other aspects.

Hopefully, this is allowed, but while I can’t speak for their hosting services (I use another host), I do use 1and1 for all my domain name registrations. By far, they have the best prices on the Net. For only $6.99 per domain (.com TLD), you also get FREE privacy. I haven’t found another place that can beat that!

I must say that I also recently canceled some of my domains that I didn’t want anymore and the process was a little cumbersome. But now I know what to do if I have to do it again. Otherwise, it’s easy to register, it’s cheap and private, and easy to redirect to your host.

If you value your time and money then stay far away from 1and1. They tried to renew my domain names on an expired credit card and when that failed, they sent 1 email which was filtered by gmail’s spam…

instead of taking my domains offline and placing them in redemption, they left my domains online for 3 months after the expiration date and then sent me to a collection agency and made me pay the redemption fee, renewals and an admin fee to the collection agency despite not placing my domain in redemption.

It is a scam. they locked my domains for months and refused to let me transfer them even after I paid their collection agency. Only after I caved in and provided them with an alternate credit card even when I didnt owe them any money did I finally get access to my domains.

It was simply a waste of time. I had to file 2 complaints with the BBB and with ICANN and finally got my money back last week roughly 6 months later.

stay away!

Just say NO! I have to admit – When you know the web yourself – it probably isn’t a big issue – but when you have any type of problem the communication – and the language barrier become real frustrating really quick. They kept charging me for a product that did not work – it took me forever to get credits – then after I removed services the billing was all messed up. Then I had problem with the exchange service and honestly the only reason I stayed with them as long as I did because i had too many domains and was terrified to switch all at one time – Do not go with them if you ever anticipate calling for any type of help – I am serious. plus there ftp / and there web directories are a nightmare – just stay away.
