Just about everyone has their own Web site these days, but it's so difficult to get it all set up since there are so, so, so many options to finding website hosting. I really like 1&1 Web Hosting, after a long time on the Internet, I find it's just the best for me.
I swear I get an e-mail a day about some new "best web hosting" site, and when I first started working on the Internet I checked them all and researched them to death. What did I find? Well, they're all about the same, it's just a matter of personal taste. My personal taste is easy web hosting. 1and1 is very straightforward, and since I'm not the most tech-savvy person around, that is essential. I tried other web hosting stuff before, but they can get sooo complicated.
I can find everything I need right away on 1 and 1, creating new database and registering new domain names is really, really easy. Controlling multiple websites, domains and databases is easy to organize.
Here's a picture of the back end, so easy to use.
Since it's so straightforward and is always running great, I've only had to work with customer service once. A website I had was hacked and started sending people to a phishing scam. And of course it happened while I was on vacation. Someone from 1and1.com called me right away and said that my site had been taken down. They asked if I wanted to change the password and I said I did.
And that was all I had to do. They reverted everything on my site, changed the password, put it back online and sent me a log of everything that happened. It was incredible service, fast too. The site was down for two hours the whole time and I didn’t have to do a thing but answer my phone. I was so thankful, nothing worse than thinking about work when you're supposed to be enjoying yourself.
So for their wonderful customer service and easy use, I highly suggest you register your new domain with 1&1 Web Hosting, and if you're fed up with other crummy web hosts, transfer over and stop fighting with sub-bar services.

5 Customer Reviews of “1and1 Web Hosting”
Review by Nichole August 13, 2009
TWICE over my time with 1and1 I’ve gone into the system to change new bank card information. Both times it said it saved it, but when billing time came, it tried to charge it to my old card. The first time I contacted them, they straightened it out, I kept the account. However, by the 2nd occurrence I had had other issues with them as well, and I decided to just end it. I e-mailed support explaining the issue and saying I was done with them, and figured the lack of payment going through and that notice was all that was needed. I never got a response.
Now I have TWO collection notices from them (I do not even know what the 2nd payment is supposed to be). The billing department had me go through the Web site to “properly” cancel, but are saying I’m still responsible for these payments! Even though my account has been locked and unable to be used ever since their system failed to bill the correct bank card. I’m supposed to pay for service I never used??

1and1 is the worst internet provider! They treat their customers like trash. They are great in the beginning and are very happy to take your money.. There are a lot of hidden fees and they won’t stop until they get every penny from you. They make it impossible to cancel your account!
Please beware. This is a big internet provider. Don’t be fooled by their name.
If at least one person doesn’t use them because of this, I’d be content.

I’ve used GoDaddy, Dreamhost, and some others and 1and1 is by far the best hosting out of them all. 1and1 is extremely user friendly at the best prices. They even have awesome 50% off hosting and cheap domain deals all the time. I love one and one.
