1AND1.com is the most pathetic company I have had the honor doing business with. This company may be cheap for domains but they are the WORST company to deal with when they mess things up "on accident".
I called their Technical Support office 3 times last night and was hung up on by some non-english speaking people who did not even understand technical information. I simply needed to move my domain to a new nameserver so I asked them to register new IP's and they kept asking "so you want to switch DNS information?" I said "NO NO NO"... I practically begged them NOT to change anything with the DNS settings... What did I get? My site went down for 12 hours because they decided I needed to switch to their DNS settings. This means they get a High Traffic stream that I PAID FOR that gets sent to them!!! They put up a page that reads "This site was just registered by 1and1.com".
So I feel like they did this on purpose... After calling them back when I noticed this - their response was: "well it takes 24-48 hours to propogate". I didn't ask how long it took to propogate... I asked WHY MY SITES DNS SETTINGS WERE SWITCHED! And yet - I got the response as before..."it takes 24-48 hours to propogate". This company does not have any english speaking employees... If they do - they're hiding from english speaking customers who are PISSED OFF!
This was NOT the first time I had bad experiences with this company though... No no... We purchased a Dedicated Server through them for $218.94 and when it came time to speak to Technical Support - it took 1 hour to get through to some guy who sounded like he was in China or something... Don't get me wrong - I don't care where you're from AS LONG AS YOU CAN SPEAK ENGLISH! This guy spent 2 hours on the phone with me and all I got was "Sorry sir I will transfer you to someone who can further assist you..." then the phone hung up.
Read around this site and see other peoples complaints about this company - I can only WISH I would have read their complaints before I paid so much damn money. Over $580 spent with this company and I could have used that to pay for my first, early Heart Surgery these people have sent me to.
These people are the most pathetic company online!!! Do not use 1and1.com!!!
