Webmaster’s Review

Site Administrator David Williamson’s Review of 1&1

Written on July 20, 2006


 

Hello,

1&1 is one of the hosting behemoths that have been around a long, long time. They are in fact the largest hosting provider in the world, servicing over 3 million websites. Being so successful, they’ve obviously done something right. They offer a wide variety of hosting options, reliable service and significant international presence.

As far as hosting goes, 1&1 probably has a solution right for you. With a robust back-office, it’s unlikely you can come up with a service they can’t host. From small, single page sites, to very complex sites with lots of traffic, they have the solutions. However, because of their size and “premium” grade of service, these solutions often come at a higher price than the competition. Although not outrageously expensive, their plans can become a bit pricey for some budgets.

The extra costs aren’t wasted though. Being so large, 1&1 delivers a very reliable service. They don’t cut corners on technology and are partnered with some of the leading names in the industry. Their services have excellent uptime ratings and are matched by a qualified customer service staff. Highly-trained personnel ensure that any technical problems you encounter are treated with the utmost diligence and timeliness.

1&1 is certainly a huge player in the industry and this size gives its users a lot of exposure. Being part of a large internet community, 1&1 often has resources and promotions other companies can't offer. Being able to reach into their overly-large wallets from time to time and offer excellent incentives to customers is something to be valued and appreciated. Definitely keep your eyes open and pay attention to some advantages most might overlook!

“They offer a wide variety of hosting options, reliable service and significant international presence.”

Of course, with 1&1’s major international diversity, sites demanding high usage from various international countries other than the USA, are well complimented by 1&1’s reach. With server farms across the world (especially in Europe), the Internet truly is a global community for 1&1’s customers.

If what I’ve described meets your vision or demands, then I strongly recommend you give 1&1 a shot. High-caliber plans backed by a dominating global presence, a highly-sought value. With a few million websites hosted as well as being Europe's largest provider, they're certainly worth looking into.

The Hosting Chart hereby awards 1&1 the #7 Web Hosting Rank.
