to this review here I read a lot of reviews about 1and1's great uptime...I don't get it! That is NOT my experience.
I have been hosting with 1and1.com for 9 months now and several months ago I noticed the my site was unavailable for short periods in the middle of the day. I became conserned and started monitoring my URL. The first month I monitored 1and1.com posted 97% uptime. What makes that figure even worse is that I am only polling my URL every 30 minutes.
I sent many emails on the subject and they told me that I was wrong and that the problem must be on my end. I know this is not the case because I get complaints about my site being unavailable from people all over the world. What's more, I work for an online database provider...if we are down there is big trouble.
Polling every 30 minutes 1and1.com posted an unimpressive 97.859% uptime with 75 recorded outages between August 11, 2005 and December 31, 2005. I wonder what these numbers would look like if I were polling every 5 minutes?

Leave 1&1 for Gods sake people they are rubbish.
They are trying to sue me for an unpaid bill i.e. the terminated contract of 2005 that they failed to acknowledge. Look don't fall foul to these crooks they are just plain bad. The bands name was Binar hosted on there www.binar.co.uk www.binar.org amongst one or two others... take a look at the SMD (Synth Music Direct) site to see that the band does exist..
I would not touch 1&1 with a barge pole ever again!

I was having the same problems at binar.co.uk and thats why I pulled the plug on 1&1 along with their dysmal service. Uploading to their servers became a chore and I was getting complaints galore about downloads and when you are trying to run a site for musicians it doesn't help matters.Leave 1&1 for Gods sake people they are rubbish.
