Thread: 1and1 hosting = sucks lol

Yup, I went from 1and1's shitty basic plan that allowed 1 ftp account, 20 addon domains, etc.. just shitty all around, I was even gunna upgrade account types, but then the pro verison thats $9.99/mo still didn't seem good.. so I switched to HostGators baby plan. Absoulute ownage! So happy with it atm, unlimited ftp, and email accounts, unlimited addon domains, etc! So awesome!

1and1 sucks.
But my grandma pays for it :eek:


So it's ok.

Yeah lol, but i'd suggest host gator's "baby" plan..

I have also heard about bad experiences with 1and1, I have not tired hostgator because I am fully happy with a small host that I found: asmallorange.com.

Never used them, but hear that some people got successfully with them and others not so well.

Choosing a hosting company is hard sometimes, but never choose a hosting service that is overselling.

Others say the customer service sucks.. but i switched like a mo after so i didnt get a chance to see

1and1 does suck, actually, most UK hosting sucks, you get so little compaired with other hosting (like the big ones in the US, bluehost, crusial, dreamhost, hostgator, godaddy, etc) and they don't have much difference in cost. But then again for a UK resident customer service is usually pretty bad when dealing with companies based in other countries (costs a lot to phone them for a start).

Does anyone want to buy my 1and1 hosting account? It comes with about 5 more months of hosting thats already paid for!

I don't think anyone will be willing to buy your hosting account right now, after they hear those bad reviews about 1and1 company.

But you can create a new thread in the for sale section and someone might be interested.

Idk if someone wants it, its for sale. Good for people with under 20 domains. Only reason I quit using was I have 20+ domains. Actaully 40+.

If you don't want your 1and1 hosting account, I can always take it for free

No lol, I will sell it

Yeah, I noticed that you posted it in for sale section.

You should include some more information such as the storage and bandwidth.

Also you should like the price you are asking for it.

I posted a link to their page where it gives all details, its perfect for those who are running a small network

Yeah, only for people that would like to run a small website.

Because with a huge website the hosting from 1and1 will probably get overloaded.

Not overloaded, just my package only supports 20 domains.. the space is fine, the only reason i complain the the domain limit..

Yeah, I was looking at their website and the only thing I don't like about them are the plans they offer, because you pay a good amount of money for a web hosting from 1and1 and you only get a specific amount of domain names allowed to be hosted on the account.

It would be much better if they would offer unlimited domains hosted on any account, as well as ftp accounts.

Yeah, and email. Hostgator offers all 3 unlimited PLUS virtually unlimited space (baby plan)

I used HostGator just for 1 month, because I had that 1 cent hosting coupon so I decided to give it a shot and it was pretty good.

But now I'm hosting my site on different servers and soon I think I will be changing to ThePlanet dedicated servers.

Haha yeah i used the 1 cent coupon also, but i will continue paying for it after this

I might give 1and1 hosting a try sometime and see how it will work.

By the way do they offer money back if you are not satisfied with their hosting ?

Soon I will need to change to dedicated servers, because my image hosting site is using lots of bandwidth and storage.

How's hostgator?

Liking it so far?

Yes, so far i love it.. unlimited basically everything(they give you i think its 600gig space which is VIRTUALLY unlimited)

I have been using HostGator for a month and it's pretty good, you should give them a try.

Yeah, i deff. recommend them

I noticed that 1and1 has a really cheap domain names right now $6.99 per domain name registration.

Even GoDaddy has higher prices right now than 1and1.

Don't do it. I'm telling you. Worst track record EVER.
There's much better dedis out there.
I use bodhost, and so far am quite happy with it.

Thanks for the information, looks like this web hosting company is left behind me forever.

Never heard of BodHost. I'm thinking about going to ThePlanet dedicated servers.

But I still have lots of empty space on the hosting I have, so I have couple of months to decided the right hosting.

No they dont give refunds.. i think

I looked and you get 90 money back guaranteed.

Oh ok, then ill get a refund. Where do you go to claim a refund?

You can contact them at the technical center by clicking here

You can call them or email them and request your re-found.

Ok, will be asking for a refund. Thx.

I imagine there will be lots of conditions on getting a refund. There generally is.

Haha, well they will have 1 more email, just sent it.

90 days money back guaranteed is a really long time.

You can do this over and over again, purchase a hosting and then ask for refounds.

But it's not worth if their hosting sucks or only allows certain amounts of domain name sto be hosted on account.

I requested a refund already. Its not worth cheating them out of their shitty hosting..

Yeah, it's really not worth and you should stop the process of selling it on the site right now, because looks like you are getting your refound for the hosting.

1And1 web hosting company is hosting company that is rated the worst by the community members.

So, just keep in mind that if you woul dbe getting hosting, never get it from them.

Yeah lol i think people get the idea from this thread

Yeah, just trying to inform the again about this hosting that sucks.
