If you need a good, stable web host, 1and1 is a good choice. The company is one of the largest web hosting providers in the world. You can choose from either Microsoft of Linux hosting, with a variety of plans at every price point that let you choose exactly what you want. A nice feature that most hosts do not have is unlimited data transfer. Their beginner plan, great for those who are just getting started on the web, costs just $3.99 a month.
1and1 offers many cool features that you can use to make your site better. Their WebsiteBuilder tool lets you create a professional looking website without having to touch HTML code. The 1and1 Blog tool makes it easy to create a powerful blog, complete with RSS, with a few clicks of the mouse. Even the most basic plan comes with 600 email addresses which support POP3 and IMAP. It also comes with a powerful control panel with which to manage all your content. Also, at least one domain name is included with every plan. These features have been enough to make the author of this 1and1 review a customer for several years.
If you are setting up an eCommerce site, 1and1 provides custom plans for you. There is still the site builder, but now it is aimed at hosting products. It has integration with eBay and provides free image hosting for items listed at auction. It also handles payment for you, meaning you do not have to look for a trusted company to handle credit card transactions. It has a special control panel targeted at making managing your products and data feasible.
A 1and1 review would be incomplete without mentioning customer support. All plans include 24/7 phone and email support, in addition to online FAQs and a 90 day money back guarantee. When I had a problem a year ago with my hosting, they quickly responded to my emails and we were able to resolve the problem quickly. From my experience, their support is good and their representatives were knowledgeable.
If you are looking for a good, stable web host that has a proven track record, then you cannot get much better than 1and1. Their prices are competitive, and they frequently run specials that drive their prices down even further. Included in the price are domain names and email accounts, making it an even better deal. They even throw in nifty site building tools and a powerful control panel to make your life easier. After several years of using their service, I can say I am glad that I chose them over their competition.
