1and1 hosting, anyone use them?
 

anybody try 1and1.com hosting? any horror stories with them?

I have a mainstream client that uses them. They frequently lose connectivity for short periods (seconds to a couple of minutes), but haven't had a major outage recently.

Netcraft reports their uptime as stellar.

Here's the Netcraft link.

I heard they are bad hosting.You should found other.

Hi Artman, If you are still seeking hosting please contact me. Webair would love to earn your business.

We used them for shared hosting in Germany, where the mother company is based, a couple of years ago. Sucked big time. They made a stink about porn, their servers were slow because they had problems with load balancing.

I use them for several clients who have dedicated servers as well as several on virtual hosting.

no significant problems with them.. once in while the get DDOS, and slows down email.

They also used to get blocked alot by AOL when they had the free hosting for 3 years plan.... i have all my various email addresses there and am happy to recommend them.

they don't allow adult.. but for mainstream.. low prices and you get free domains with the packages.

click on my 1and 1 affiliate link if you are going to check them out and potentially use them.


Fight the plug!

in their terms and condition they only mention no illegal adult content. nothing about legal

buMp for more opinions!

i hosted a text tgp on a 1and1 shared plan only reason i dropped it was theres cheaper hosting elsewhwere. however i always recomend 1and1 to mainstream customers as i never had a problem with them no site outages etc, imho if your not breaking the law as far as porn goes go for 1 and 1 :thumbsup

for mainstream they are pretty good
big and established
i have never experienced any of the problems posted here
and i use a lot of hosts

other then there centerfold ad in PC mag I don't know anything about them.

They are based in Russia, I remember reading article about it once. Not that means anything..

based in russia????????? they have offices and server locations across europe uk offices are in Slough berkshire.

Alot of my freinds use them for their personal hosting, lots of free software....


I prefer www.realitychecknetwork.com for my biz. - cant go wrong with Zagi and Sync:thumbsup

The consensus is they are not really that great and you would be much better off going with someplace else.


Hey people check your speed here. http://speakeasy.net/speedtest/

www.yellowfiber.net we have the plesk application vault couple dozen one click programs to install. If you ever cared/wanted it. other than that Great bang for your buck and were a growing family :)

not bad at all ..

i have a small account with them ( adult seo ) for several years.. no major problems and their servers seem to have more features/updated than your average host..
i would give them a 7/10

I use/used and recommend the following

1&1 , webair , phatservers , gotwebhost.com and a few others i forget offhand

If i see one more advertisement for them in one of my business magazines I will scream! They always have those 4-5 page advertising supplement pages in those mags :(

Steer clear of 1and1.

i have 1 dedicated server at 1and1. based on my experience i would gladly recommend them, though i have not hosted adult content there. their hardware/software has been great, i am satisfied with the speed and uptime, their tech support has been responsive, and they have good prices. i should note, however, that their tech support though quite responsive, does not seem to be the most knowledgable bunch and i have wasted more time than i would have liked talking with them in circles on a couple different occasions.

I used to have a small virtual account there for seo reasons. Their service was good (not great). Alot better than for example dreamhost. Their support team is very responsive, but lacks, imo, alot of experience.

I'd recommend Jaguar PC. I've been through many and I've stuck with JPC because I've never seen better support anywhere.
