I totally agree with most reviews on here!

1and1 are useless!! I have been with them for a couple of years but over the last few months I have noticed my site slowing down and on some occasions timing out. This site works fine on my test server in the office. Timeouts occur from any location. 1and1 have finally admitted there is a problem with the server and that they will move me to a new server but that was over 3 weeks ago. They do not respond to e-mails and on the very rare occasion that they do it is some monkey asking a totally unrelated question. I have been on the phone to them for at least 6 hours in the last 3 weeks trying to get this progressed. I just get passed from pilar to post. I had a seperate problem where I could not assign my user the "delete" permission on a particular folder only to be told that there is no such permission!!

1and1 are cheap for domain registration but what you pay is what you get! I was considering a managed server but after my recent experiences with them I shall be taking my business elsewhere!

AVOID AT ALL COSTS in my opinion!
