1and1 Hosting ?" Setting a New Standard
Introduction
I confess?"I'm a demanding customer and a perfectionist who rarely feels satisfied with the service I receive. Hosting providers, in particular, have borne the brunt of my high standards; I've switched providers six times over the past four years due to dissatisfaction. However, I'm thrilled to report that 1and1 Hosting has finally exceeded my expectations.
Discovery: A Promising Start
Two years ago, while reading eWeek, I stumbled upon an intriguing offer: 1and1 was providing free hosting for three years to promote their new public sector service. Skeptical but intrigued, I signed up. As a budget-conscious college student, it felt like a great opportunity?"and it was!
A Smooth Experience with 1and1
For nearly two years, 1and1 provided reliable service. When I began nearing my free package's bandwidth limit, I considered upgrading. Unfortunately, exploring other hosts was a lesson in frustration. Dealing with cheap reseller accounts taught me exactly what not to look for in a provider: unreliable uptime and poorly managed servers.
Returning to Reliable Service
After a few tumultuous months and wasted cash, I returned to 1and1, spurred by an email announcing a promotion for existing users. They offered their top shared Linux package at half price, guaranteed for three years, including free upgrades.
Exceeding Expectations
Upgrading with 1and1 was delightful. My websites ran faster, likely because paid accounts are on less crowded servers. Soon after, my space and bandwidth doubled at no extra cost. A glance at their website revealed even more impressive package enhancements. Although initially frustrated by not receiving the latest upgrades, a call to customer service quickly resolved my concerns. The representative promised updates within four weeks and even hinted at receiving more than the listed specs.
Impressive Numbers
Upon logging into my account today, I discovered astonishing specs: 30,000MB of storage and 1,500GB of transfer for a shared hosting plan priced at $19.99/month. These are virtual private server (VPS) specs at a shared hosting price, plus domains cost only $5.99 per year with 1and1.
What Sets 1and1 Apart
While other providers offer similar specs, 1and1’s uptime is unmatched. In two years, my site has rarely been unavailable, and when it was, it was due to ISP issues, not 1and1. Their unique control panel, though slightly slow, offers seamless administration. Even beginners can navigate it with ease.
Conclusion
1and1 has truly set a high standard in hosting, earning my trust and respect. They are now my benchmark for what a hosting provider should be. If you’re seeking a reliable, affordable hosting solution, 1and1 is highly recommended.
A Minor Drawback
The only downside is their strict script execution policy. However, in shared hosting environments, this ensures stability and reliability. The only downtime I’ve noticed was during scheduled hardware upgrades?"a trade-off for improved performance.
