This was my first time using 1and1.com I registered 4 domains last night. I thought it was unusual I did not get an email to confirm registeration, but thought maybe the system was delaying a little. But I see the confirmation from the screen and from paypal so I think it's ok I will get the email to confirm. Then right when I get my guy to do some work today he tells me I need to register my domains. So I check under my email to see if the confimation is there, and nothing. I look up under whois.net and see three of the four domains are available. When I call 1and1.com I asked them why I did not get a confirmation. They said their servers are down and they have to wait until Monday for me to be able to use the domains! They can not even email me to tell me this! Sucks, but they were really nice about getting the problem resolved, but still they should have called or something.
