Registering domain names with 1and1 is, for me, a pretty ideal compromise between price, features, and reliability. Whilst they're not the cheapest, they remain sufficiently good value that I'm not tempted to go elsewhere. The features you get with each domain package are fairly comprehensive: DNS management with subdomains, web site forwarding/redirects, that sort of stuff. Most importantly for me, they're a company I trust not to get this sort of stuff wrong, and not to go out of business any time soon. With web hosting it's relatively easy to move providers. With domains it's a little bit more complex, or at least feels more risky. In this case I feel pretty comfortable keeping my domains registered with 1and1, and doing the hosting elsewhere.

I now have 9 domains registered by and hosted with 1&1 and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to establish an Internet presence. 1&1 are the biggest hosting providers in Europe; they are based in Karlsruhe in Germany.

1and1 is a host making dishonest money OFF their customers (i.e. us!)! Do not subscribe with them unless you want to loose money EVEN AFTER you cancel your service with them. They charged me for three months AFTER i canceled their services adapting the bill to fit their accounting date. (I canceled on May 21, they issued a bill for May 20 saying that i canceled one day too late, hence, charging me for THREE months! Outrageous! All other bills were scheduled between the 1st and 5th of each month, therefore I mush have been billed between the 1st and 5th of June). Terrible...

On the tech side, they give an awfully small space to build a website with very limited choice of web pages available. You must subscribe to more features, hence more money in order to have more space and/or choice and I am still not sure that this is indeed more. (Lack of space is particularly evident if one wants to create an album or any sort of visual page).

I will NOT recommend to anyone to use 1and1 - they were dishonest, greedy, lacking flexibility and creativity.
