1 & 1 web hosting sucks ass
When writing negative reviews, I don’t hold back. And this is no exception: 1 & 1 web hosting sucks ass, big time. I would not pay that company one thin dime for anything.
I asked them to add a domain name to my friend’s virtual hosting account, and they were like, “Eh?” I very carefully explained to them (all of them were in Portugal) how to add a domain name to a website. It’s trivial, I do it all the time. No, I’m not transferring a domain, no, I’m not registering a new domain; the domain is already registered and pointing to the correct IP address. All they need to do is add the name to the account and the website will show up.
Nope, they don’t do that. I would need to upgrade to a goddamn dedicated server account in order to do that.
Just now, I logged in to my GoDaddy account and added about 40 domains to my virtually hosted account. As expected, it was trivial! Why can 1 & 1 not do this? Because they’ve got their heads up their asses! That’s why.
Stick with GoDaddy, they allow you do to trivial things with your virtually hosted websites without upgrading to a full-on dedicated server.
And, on the topic of dedicated servers, I recommend serverbeach.com.
