1 & 1 hosting review

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

Up until about a month ago I was using 123-reg and webfusion for my web design business, www.andysweb.net, but I have since started to use 1&1.

They are, by their own admission, the world’s No 1 web hosting company. And from what I have experienced so far that is a fair assessment. I have mainly used their Linux hosting packages which are aimed at business. They offer 3 free .co.uk domains, free domain transfers and all of the regular features ( ie Perl, cgi script support.) you would expect from a package at approx £10 per month but also more advance features such as two sql databases, support for eCommerce solutions ( I shall be reviewing one soon).

But the main thing is the customer support. They are available via the telephone and reply to e-mails very quickly, in a matter of hours. And the replies are not just answers unrelated to your question from their Q & A section. No they are real replies from Real people. I like a company that values my custom as much as I value my clients.

As a result, I recommend 1 & 1 to my customers who require a hosting solution and I recommend it to you!
