Do You Actively Avoid 1and1?

[Domain_Stir]

Ok... Long time users... please bear with me here.

I'm sure you're sick of seeing posts of 1and1 domain transfer horror stories. I've searched the history here and am well aware this not a new topic, but I just wanted to get a sense of how many people in this profession:

1. Absolutely avoid 1and1 for not allowing easier, more cost efficient way of domain transfer (no existing user "push" option)
2. Avoid purchasing domains from sellers who list their domains as being registered at 1and1
3. Would you consider using them if they changed their transfer policy and enabled the ability to "push" domains to existing users?

I just want to get a metric to see just how many people avoid that registrar and also see if you think that if we (as a community) think it might be beneficial to petition? Change.org? Ok... now I understand this isn't a major issue plaguing society or some movement to weed out social injustice but if your like me it's been a real road block to efficient transactions and... in some cases, your stuck holding a fairly significant amount of inventory.

This will probably turn out to be a relatively small sample but I'm just interested to see if anyone thinks it would be worthwhile? Take the poll, chime in below. Would really love to get peoples take on this.

Below are a few Change.org example petitions requesting companies change/adjust their services/corp policy. How many signatures do you think it would take to see any kind movement on this issue by 1and1 on this?

• Tell BOA to not end their free checking (379,671 signatures)
• McDonalds: Its time for a healthy, meatless option (118,271 signatures)
• Tell Walmart, target and Toys R Us to give their employees the Thanksgiving day off (82,105 signatures)
• Bring the 2015 Civic Type R VTEC Turbo to North America (24,539 signatures)

I have one domain left there and i don't list it anywhere and hope they choke on it.

Thinking of coming at this from a different angle since the unhappy cust route doesn't seem to get anywhere with them. Ha!

The unhappy customers leave.

And complain.

A while ago I saw domainers complaining that 1&1 had somehow managed to wipe their bad BBB record - it looks like it now starts in 2015.

I transferred out one domain from 1&1 to GoDaddy & it was a smooth transaction.

Also,

I just recently transfered a .co domain from Whois to 1&1 it was another great experience from 1&1

transfer in should not be the issue

listen to other domainers

What ever the issue, fuck off, I don't care. I am in India, they are German, there is another law & here is only one law. You can skip any proceeding against you if someone of your in power.

PS. Most of my domain get renewed, I don't think there is any treat for me, as they are allowing me to transfer out to another cheap register.
