Will not let you cancel.

Advantages: Cheap at first.
Disadvantages: Expensive in the long run. Really, really expensive. Will not let you cancel your contract. They will just tell you it is cancelled but bill you a year later saying you never cancelled.
Verdict:

Title says it all. I've been charged 40 dollars after I had cancelled everything. 20 for a year, 20 for another year (yes 2 years after cancelling everything). My credit card even expired, but that's not going to stop them from billing you and going to the collection agency. Stay clear of this one.

1and1 Expert Review- From the Editors

1&1 Internet began as a marketing company in 1988. Making headlines all over the industry, 1&1 branched out and began offering hosting services in 1998. Today, 1&1 owns their own environmentally friendly data centers where they host more than 10 million customers.

Review

Pricing

1&1 has three plans to choose from, each catering to a different market. The smallest plan, 1&1 Starter, includes 50 gigabytes of space and unlimited bandwidth for $4.99/month. 1&1’s pricing structure is about average. On the downside, all plans must be paid for yearly.

Uptime

My premium uptime monitor indicated that 1&1 maintained a 98% uptime record over one year.

Sales

1&1 takes sales questions by telephone and email. I phoned 1&1 and was speaking with a representative in under a minute. The rep I dealt with was quick and polite, but unable to answer a few of my questions about domain names and nameservers. Since no other sales team members were available at the time, I was asked to call back the following day. My questions

Help & Support

1&1 hosting support comes by telephone and email. Telephone reps were always friendly and happy to try and help, though I found most to be unschooled in the basics of web hosting. I had a difficult time finding a rep who understood MySQL databases, which left me without much support when my database went down unexpectedly. Email support is hit or miss, and many of my emails to 1&1 went completely unanswered. Disappointing!

Setup

Clients can sign-up for a 1&1 hosting package by phone or via an online form from the 1&1 website. I used the online form, which is pretty straightforward, taking just under five minutes to complete. A welcome email hit my mailbox a few hours after my account went live.

Reliability

The server where I hosted my website was strong and reliable. Aside from routine server reboots and server upgrades, I had no hardware issues of any kind.

Billing

1&1 accepts all major credit cards and billing issues are handled by phone or email. I had to deal with the billing folks once, when my domain was automatically renewed, even though I’d cancelled it. 1&1’s billing department has limited hours, so it took almost two weeks to get a refund. Slow!

Guarantee

  • 99.9% uptime guarantee.
