I am in the midst of a nightmare issue with them. I have about 40 domains
registered with them and when I registered them 1yr ago I had specifically
set all of them to manual renewal. I just received 3 invoices for those 40
domains RENEWALS. I emailed them, they eventually responded and told me
nothing really. Basically, how to cancel a package.
Now, the package thing... Whatever it is, it is the most confusing thing I
have ever encountered. Either that, or its so simple that I cant see it.
I have 40 domains, I bought them all at once and yet there are 3 packages of
domains on their system for some God-unknown reason. One has 9 domains,
another 15 domains and the other 16 domains. Whatever.
I cant edit the details of any of the domains and they haven't responded to
any of my tech support questions which I submitted online. The interface is
also, by far, one of the most confusing interfaces to manage domains that I
have ever seen in my life! So just this morning, I asked them HOW I could
transfer them away from 1 & 1 to Godaddy where I have many other domains AND
I also have sites there. I am done with them. You really DO get what you
pay for, so beware. So far, no answer from tech support. Not sure it
even exists over there.
Since I don't have an hosting services through 1 & 1, I cant say how that
will be for you. But, if you go with them, tread carefully because it seems
they will not let you out of their grip. I have had much experience with
Register.com, Network Solutions and Godaddy. I like Godaddy the most. If
you're looking for a good bit of database space as well as high transfer
volume - check out www.webhosting4life.com also.
Lastly, if you go with 1&1 - good luck and I hope you have a much better
experience that I have been dealing with.
