I am designing a website for a client that uses 1and1, that is the worst control panel I have ever seen. everything is hard to use.

I tryed 1and1 control panel and I would have to agree. On a couple of pc's I have used, the control panel hasnt even loaded! I know all the pc's have the things required to 'run' the control panel.

I would also have to agree. One of my friends use to be hosted with them & they said the same.

crap! 1 sql database! the project I am on wants 3, that makes life a little harder.

LOL! Lucky I didn't choose them to host my site :P

According to reviews at webhostingunleashed.com and forums, IMO 1and1 hosting company picture get clear. You should visit reviews.

hmmm.. jus signed up for business account and im wishing I didnt now. Absolute balls I can see why theyre losing customers. Tried phoning support today didnt get through for 10 minutes and when I did they hung up! Also they havent answered any of my emails I sent a week ago.

Dont bother, dont let big numbers fool you.
Andy

your the 2nd person to complain about that today

wont be the last I can tell you, finally got a reply from the first email I sent a week ago. But domain is still not working...

Yeah, I have to agree. I thought they were killer when I saw their prices, "$5.99 domain Registration". I registered my domain "flashfiends.com" with them and it took almost a week for it to propagate to my server!
I also tried to call them and complain, but never got to talk to a real person after being on hold forever, only answering service!
I'm going to transfer registrar asap.
Thanks for the advice on hosting with them. I was actually considering dedicated server hosting with them cause of the prices. Now I know better....thanks

n/p.

I almost went with them when I was getting my site started last year, that nice 3 page ad in pc world made them look pretty nice.

theyre spending too much advertising for new customers and not giving enough tlc to their current ones. Got through to the customer support yesterday after 10 minutes they asked me what was wrong and said they were going to check my domain and put me on hold AGAIN and I was waiting for another 10 minutes until I decided enough was enough.

Im moving to www.netpivotal.co.uk and cancelling my 1&1 account (thanks 1&1 brilliant service ***ERHEM SARCASTIC SICK JOKE, just like the company***.

They also said itd cost me £30 to transfer my domain name to them WTF!!! All you need to do is change the ips, cant be that much of a hastle.
Also if u wish to cancel your account you have to do it by mail, HA... what goods an INTERNET company that u have to cancel your account via snail mail.

Andy,
ps. hope this urges some people away from 1&1 do not trust them!!!

have you checked reviews on them? assume a host is bad until reviewed good

1and1 is the worst host ever. i currently use them with a developers package, running 20 websites. unfortunately, i dont have the time to switch. their lack of customer service is the main problem with the company. i also see my sites go down about once every three months or so

wow... most hosts have SOME good reviews.

I am going to ask my client to swith to a new host

I have a js password protection peice to a page, it works on my computer and my personal web page server, but not on1and1

unlucky m8, ive been host jumping for about a week now but my computer internet is going super slow so its hard to upload anything :S
