1and1 Domain service experience

Kubi
Grr.

I registered with 1and1, probably because there the cheapest. Now I know why. I first found nothing wrong with 1and1, infact, I thought they were pretty nice. Now I know they're not.. From what I hear nameserver changes take up to 1milisecond. Why is 1and1 taking over 2 days sometimes? Could be the fact they're using stone-age technology. But, I'm no webdesigner - oh wait, yes I am.

I had to modify my MX Entries, as most of you know by now, to get goolge apps to work with my domain. I wanted to provide my very small masses with personalize ot-design.net emails. I thought it'd be coolio. The only way of changing MX Entries with 1and1, is reverting ALL nameservers, to THERE nameservers. So there was absolutely not way I could do this without messing up my website. Which is now down by the way, because the nameservers are incorrect.

GoDaddy was supposed to be much better, so I decided to go there. Well, it was 20 bucks to much for me, so I decided not to. Computing host was much easier, once I figured out my transfer secret. (ohhh). So now I'll have another 2 days appox. of downtimes, all because of 1and1's slow...whatever they have that's slow. Hopefully with ComputingHost it won't take ages to change. I'm a little upset that I referred my friend to 1and1 for his business a few days ago.

I dislike 1and1! Arg! Share your complaints and hatred for there slowness and monkeys working at there servers.

must be your bad luck, because every time i need to change the name servers for my domains (i have over 10 of them) it happens in less than 4 hours each time.... godaddy sucks anyways

It maybe 4 hours for you, but it's 1-2 days for me.

like i said it's probably just ur luck, because every time i need to change it does it instantly no problemos, also when i had to change a couple of my domain info to fit for the google carp, it did it instantly and just fine

Well yeah 1&1 is a *BLEEP* company. Godaddy i cant say anything because i never personally tried it. As far as i know Trap17 is my best host for free. I realised instead of paying i better get free hosting because my site is a hobby site anyways and why waste money on it. I love this site.

Learn from your mistakes, I am sure you'll never go there again. I always use Computing Host for all my domain needs. They're speedy and as you know, the Computing Host support is excellent! Well I have to rush.

Have a good day!

I think that Computing Host is way better.

I've used Schuland & Partner AG for 10 years now. (That's the German Company that owns 1&1) And I can't complain. We use them for our corporate hosting and dedicated servers at work. Very reasonable and I can't complain.

But I work on sites in the US and in the EU and dealing with EU can be a different ballgame. (EU data protection laws and such)

Whenever we make any server changes, we always plan for a 72-hour delay. Usually it's completed with in 24 hours.

I'm mainly talking about there dns services. I couldn't change MX Entries without changing my domain ns's. Much easier to do it on computinghost. But I'm still waiting for the transfer request approval....which is taking forever.

i have not messed with any of the MX setting on 1and1, but everything else ive done regarding my domains has been fine

ive got 6 or so through them, the first took about 2 days for dns to update, but the rest after that have been within 4-6 hrs, which is not bad if you ask me

even changing nameservers has been relatively fast, so ill still refer people to 1and1, at least for domain purchases

    Hey all, I've been wanting to post this topic for absolutely ages but you apparently have to be

    reason I came to Trap17, by talking about my two previous hosts and why I left them. I would advise
    that if you're with these hosts then LEAVE THEM NOW! Unless you want your sites to be
    totally unpopular like mine... Ok, one day I came up with this radical idea after playing a game on
    the internet and listening to the comments people were giving. A lot of people where ...

    which started with a machine, I listened to the steps it gave me and none worked so I was set on

  9. Comcast Cable - Just HORRID service. (12)

    nothing compared to what we're dealing with now. We got in on a special and ordered an 8mbit
    broadband connection from Comcast. Since the install date, about 2 weeks ago, we've received
    less than half of that 8mbit. I understand the concept of cable internet and sharing with the
    neighbors and they can't guarantee the maximum speeds. If we were paying for the 4mbit I would...

    domain was registered very quickly, then I jumped on here and processed an application to setup my

    (pinned) about your site and sitewide banner rotation for a month. The admin there is very helpful
    and responds to all support questions very quickly. He sets up the domain very quickly and meets the
    promise that your domain will be set-up within one day of your domain name application. Unlike most
    competing free domain services, they allow you to register more than one domain name. I...
