I want to take up the - 1and1 business plan to host my domains. Can anyone prove me info about them if they are reliable, their support etc. I have read that there had been many complaints around 2007-2008 but is the service ok now. FYI my domain is qlog.in
I was recently reading articles at http://www.thehostingnews.com 1and1 has substancial special offers till January 31. Refer to http://www.thehostingnews.com/the-new-year-starts-with-free-hosting-offers-at-11-15803.html If you are seriously thinking of purchasing their services,you should buy before then. Disclaimer : I am not their affiliate. I have no idea that they are good or not.
I believe that you will find some customer hosting reviews about them on webhostingstuff.com - good luck!
Whenever I have looked into a new hosting provider in the past, I have always tested their network for at least a while day to see what sort of latency they can hit during peaks. This tool can be used for this purpose: http://winmtr.net/ sometimes the results will surprise you. Make sure any latency hits are on the target providers router's though and not caused by your ISP or a telecom inbetween.
Thanks for this valuable insight, I shall definitely use it and hope it shall help alot of newbies like me
I am using their cloud servers over last year. Up time is perfect, speed is fast. Support is not perfect, but i get all replies same day as i request them.
I have three hosts Canadian Web Hosting for the sites I own and run myself, HostGator reseller (new biz) and 1&! CWH and HG are vergood hosts. Brilliant support good value for money. 1&1 was my first host and I had a business plan now I have the basic hosting and just park a few domains on it. Hopefully this year I can dump them completely far too bureacratic for my taste.
They do have good promo offers. I've used them for a couple of years without a problem... I prefer the interaction with HostGator, but 1&1 hasn't done me wrong.
1and1 is not worth it. I did host WP with them and my blog visitor always complain that they face connection timeout error frequently.
dailyrazor.com is my favourite since 1 year and I had never thought of changing it, since it keeps me tension free and always to be counted.
