Reviews and information for 1and1.com
69kHz said:I love these guys. I have dealt with so many hosting companies over the last 7 years, & I am so happy I found 1and1.com this spring. I have never been happier with any other host. Well, sure this is a domain registrar review, so, let's focus on that, even if they're great host, the registration process was quick & painless & extremely quick propagation.. nice competitive pricing.. fast quick transfering.. not a single complaint from me.. nothing but praise.. 1and1 will get my business for years to come
well.. ok, maybe one complaint.. damn control panel is slow..

1and1.com DOES NOT register domains in real time.
It can take over 48 hours to get a domain registered.
This is especially important if you are trying to register
expired domains.
I started to track how long it was taking to register domains
with them because I kept seeing that domains I ordered were
not being registered.
Meanwhile other people were able to grab the domains because
they used a Registrar that works in real time.
When I checked the date and time the domains were registered
I saw the registrations were 7 hours to 36 hours AFTER I had ordered
the domains.
I contacted 1and1 and wanted to know why domains were taking so long
to get registered.
Their very unfriendly response was that domains take 24 to 48 hours
to get registered and there is nothing they can do about that.
They should have given notice about this extreme lag time.
They are the world's second largest hosting company but they suck
big time as a Registrar.
I suspect they are sending the domain registration orders to Schlund.de
their parent company and Schlund get to it when they get to it.
I have learned my lesson- no more 1and1 for me.
