I have had problems with all three hosting providers and the support and such seems good at first. However as time goes you will see more problems and they will be slower and slower to respond to your questions.
I have now found better ways of hosting and learned more, It's also saving me a bunch of money.
I'm a newbie and trying to figure out which host to use. I'm going to have about 20 different sites all with different names. I think i've narrowed it down to either 1and1 for $9.99/mo(2gis/50gigs) or Hostgator for $9.95(5gigs/75gigs) both with no setup fee.
Does anyone have experience whem either??or other recommendations.
See folks I want to run a forum and I have decided to either use Hostgator or 1and1 hosting.
Which was is better if I want to host a forum with members no more of 1000 or so?
What is there MySqL Database limit?
Which one is better in shared hosting between godaddy and 1&1?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have already bought my package with godaddy, so I want to get started as quickly as possible. As I go to enter my blogs URL at godaddy so I can create it, it keeps telling my the selected domain is invalid?
I am entering it in the correct place under 'Domain not registered here'. I think it would have something to do with my settings at 1and1 but I am lost
Basically I registered the domain www.technetnews.com with 1and1 and want to use it to host my blog with godaddy
Anyone can share their experience? I am interested in RELIABLE email only for personal use (I will probably order Windows hosting package but I will not be using it much). My domain is registered with Godaddy and will stay there.

View 11 Replies View RelatedOk, I'm a few lost about which dedicated server to choose.
First, I need 2 dedicated servers. These servers are only to download static content.
Downloadable files are small (50-400k).
I'll use lightweight server.
If there are too many user, I'll buy another server.
I search for excellent uptime, US server and fast download server.
I've visited some popular web hosting but if you know better, lets me know
1and1
Price (Root Server): $99
CPU: Single Core AMD Athlon 64 3500+ 2.2 GHz
RAM: 1 GB
HD: 2 x 160 GB
Bandwidth: 2,000 GB
Bandwidth Cap: 100 Mbps
GoDaddy
Price: $68
CPU: Celeron 2.0GHz
RAM: 1GB
HD: 1 x 120GB
Bandwidth: 500GB
Bandwidth Cap: 10-20 Mbps
Also, the price between 1and1 and GoDaddy is $31 but 1and1 give more on cpu, hd, bandwidth(4x), connection...
One of my question is 1and1 offers a average price for dedicated server or GoDaddy spends a part of money with Amanda, Candice and Danica?
Do you have some suggestion for dedicated server or web hosting?
I highly encourage people to reconsider another web hosting company. I'm a programmer and usually have to pick a hosting for my clients, and because their down time can be as long as 1 week or even more they caused me a lot of embarrassment with my clients. though their support somehow helpful but they must reconsider their technical plan. I never experienced such hosting where we can get down time for week or some times couple a days!
View 6 Replies View RelatedEverytime my site is down, which is about twice a month, i ask Servage and everytime, i get no answer or i get a really late reply.
Today my site has been down 3 hrs, and ive put in 2 support tickets now, and yet im ignored, but they advertise their support time is 30 minutes? How is that an average when i have to wait hours EVERYTIME?
They are really awful for support, hosting is ok for a shared.. i cant wait to move off it.
I ordered a VPS from Hosting-IE on the 25th March and was initially told it would take 4 days or so to setup. A week later I emailed them, and was told by Max that it would be setup that day.
Throughout the next week I emailed a few times and received no response at all, and got fed up so a few days ago I just filed a complaint with Paypal to try and get my money back (After waiting nearly 3 weeks for a VPS I think I should). Now Hosting-IE are saying to Paypal that they gave me the info, when this isn't true.
So I just lost 60 euro's, not that much but still enough to get annoyed about. Gonna see if I can file a chargeback with my credit card company.. hopefully it should work.
Anyway, definately stay away from Hosting-IE! I should have read up on them before I ordered..
I too am having an awful time with Crucial (crucialwebhost.com). I've been with them for three months and each month there has been a server issues that cause my sites to not function. They use Softlayer so you would think it would be better.
When I report problems I feel as though I am being stalled. Some of their people are really good but others just don't want to be there (you can tell) it's a flip of the coin.
Right now my sites have been down for days.
The work quality is awful. We have a problem with a server. It’s the 4th day already when the issue is being solved. Our project there is down. We incur great losses.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI want to buy vps server from 1and1.com but I am from Turkey. 1an1 said me " The dedicated server packages are only available for US and Canada only ". For this reason I cant buy VPS server from 1and1. is there anybody sell vps and dedicated from 1and1? or does anybody help me for buying vps or dedicated server. I can pay broker price.
I want to use 1and1 because when I send email on 1and1 based server, all mail to inbox. I am building Email hosting company in TURKEY. If you know other hosting company as 1and1. all email going to go inbox. I may work with him.
I would like something similar to the business package located here:
http://www.hostgator.com/shared.shtml
But I do NOT want HG, too many bad experiences.
My only requirements are...
-No more than $15/mo
-Unlimited domains
-At least 100GB of bandwidth a month
-Supports PHP
-Some type of control panel (preferably cpanel)
Any suggestions are GREATLY appreciated.
What do you guys think about this company?
Is it good as SoftlayerThePlanet is?
Would you recommend them?
Yes? why?
No? why?
looking for an ip from 1and1.com - i will look if the webhosting server are the same like in germany. if not may its interested to get backlinks from an unbranded ip outsite germany.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWell, my current hosting at streamline.net is expiring in a couple of months and I don't want to stay with them for a minute longer.
I have about 5 domains that I require hosting for, and another few which will be aliases to these domains.
I had a look at fasthosts.co.uk and would need a separate hosting package for each domain.
I then looked at 1and1's virtual private servers. These hopefully fit the bill as it is quite cheap at £15/pm.
http://order.1and1.co.uk/xml/order/VpsRoot
I was wondering if this fits my needs. Would I be able to host several websites here? Or just one domain?
Also, they say that I have root access, will I be able to do just about anything on there then? E.g. install imagemagick, edit php.ini, enable wildcard DNS and use mod_rewrite for subdomains... etc.
Given that I have root access to the VPS, how can it be that they say the max number of email accounts is 150, what else is restricted?
I'm a bit confused as to what sort of abilities a VPS will give me. 1and1's site doesn't explain what I could use it for as well as I would like.
Is it any good? Any reviews?
Anyone used it since they started?
i recently saw an ad for 1 and 1 in pc magazine and was wondering if anyone has tried out their services. it looks pretty legit and extremely cheap pricing. i might look into going to them for my future domain purchases. from my experience the cheaper the fees the cheaper the service.
View 2 Replies View Related1and1 has always getting a lot of fudge here on WHT and a lot of times they deserve it. In the past their support has totally sucked. However, I have noticed lately that their support is actually improving A LOT!! I've been getting responses within a few hours and that is really good considering it would take days before. Also, in the past their responses were just generic and non-helpful but lately they have actually provided personal help and attention and fixed all the issues I've had. I know this should be expected from a registrar/webhost but I have to say I'm quite impressed. They are after all a really budget company.
Btw, I use them for all my domain registrations and also have a small hosting package with them for my static small sites. I'm not brave enough to put my more busy sites there yet.
Does anyone have VPS from 1 & 1 ? How do you like their server/service ? Their price is quite cheap...
View 3 Replies View RelatedThis is the problem I'm facing:
I have a domain registered with 1and1.com (klenwell.com). I have a VPS running Linux with a different host. I have configured bind to run as my nameserver for the domains ns1.klenwell.com and ns2.klenwell.com. (I have run dig to verify the bind is configured properly.)
The problem: when I try to change the primary and secondary name servers for klenwell.com at 1and1.com using the form provided by the 1and1 control panel, I get the following error message:
The name server is not sufficient or hasn't been approved.Subdomains of the original domainname as name servers for the original domainname need a fixed IP! Please refer to the FAQ (keyword: Glue domain)!
So I enter the IP address and I get the following error message:
The name server is not sufficient or hasn't been approved.
So I called 1and1.com support hoping they could fix this. But it appeared that the young woman who took my call was unable to comprehend the problem (she kept referring to Plesk -- which had nothing to do with the issue here).
I was prepared for this and hoping to get passed up to someone who knew what she was doing. But before that could happen, after going around in circles with Level 1 support for about 10 minutes, I mysteriously got disconnected! (I guess I had used up my time quota.)
Am I SOL here? It seems like a chicken-and-egg problem. I can't change the DNS settings until 1and1 is able verify that my nameserver domains are valid. But they won't be valid until 1and1 changes them. And 1and1 support seems totally incapable of providing any help.
I know I could use a free third-party service, but I wanted to have some practice running my own nameserver. Also I want to be able to add subdomains myself. (Right now, I have to manually add them through 1and1.com and am limited to 5.)
Any help is appreciated. Otherwise, I'll just use this as an opportunity to vent my frustration at 1and1.com's support. <sigh>
I have been with this hosting company for almost five years now and until today the service has been excellent. I am having massive ftp issues. I have 41 different domains that I run for a variety of projects. Needless to say I keep each website in a different folder. I just tried to switch one of my blogs from blogger to wordpress. Blogger won't let me have my domain back and keeps blocking it with a 404 error. But that is a separate issue. I tried using one of my extra domains and pointing it at my new blog folder. But it keeps bouncing back to my root directory. I contacted 1and1 and they reset the server, but now they are blaming me for the issue. I can access the blog through it's subdirectory but I can't post the blog there.
Anyways, I am not ready to move over all of my websites, but I do want to move my blog to a new host. I am mainly hoping that I can escape 1and1 and blogger in one move if I change the host of this one website. It's funny I have been happy for years and recommended them to friends, but now I am very disappointed. Can someone recomend a reliable host? I am looking for one with a cheap lowend package to start off. If I end up staying I will need a lot of bandwidth as I have a podcast that had a lot of traffic. Basically, there are so many companies that I just can't tell which ones are reliable. That's my main concern. Also I use SQL a lot. Thanks!
I am trying to launch a website for a youth group. Since this is a non-profit organization I am trying to host the site for a reasonable price but I am not sure which company to go with. I have looked at lunarpages and 1&1. There are so many out there I am not sure which one to chose.Has anyone dealt with these companies and if so how are they?

View 8 Replies View Relatedi am using 1and1 hosting and the bad thing about these guys is they don't even have option to create backups.
they have their own made cpanel which doesn't have option for backups and sucks sometimes.
any ideas how to get rid of it.
I bought a 1and1 VPS. It was a good quality server, I don't think it was setup right. I called their tech support multiple times about my servers issues. Such as it freezing and i can't restart it. Then the tech support said he would tell their computer department, and 13 hours later, my server is still frozen and I cannot log on.
I would not and do not recommend 1and1 to anyone. It was a very bad exerience and I will always stay away from them. Sorry 1and1 but your service isn't all that great.
I am looking for Windows VPS with PHP and mysql.
Any has any experience with 1and1 for Windows VPS.
Also, lately I see managed and unmanaged VPS, what is that. I was under impression VPS is always fully managed.
I am looking for VPS, ive just seen that 1and1.com had Windows VPS for only 29$ per month ! This is an incredible price and you get a 100mb line + 500 Gb of BW. But i just don't know how much ram you get.. anyone know ?
So what do you think?
Has anyone had any experience with 1and1 dedicated? let me know how you liked it.
