I have tried repeatedly and have gotten a variety of errors.... there is no auto install on 1&1...you must install the database and do the setup manually. Please post to this thread if you think you can successfully install Wordpress on 1&1 hosting. Thank You
I am interested in this Doing this since many months, will also upload essential plugins if needed at no extra charge
I have one hosting with 1and1.com for one of my sites and all I did was call and someone walked me right through the process. Save your money and try calling again.. the person you talked to if you did call at first may not have known what they were doing as far as what they told you again assuming that you have already tried to call them.
