1and1 hosting question...

[Chunkee]

I am looking on their website choices now and do not see what they offer.

was the freebie for 3 years the linux hosting, or MS hosting?

I was looking at the comparison chart, and only see that the MS package offers Front Page extensions.

However, the free for 3 years allowed front page extensions.

Any one know this?

linux

linux with FP extensions?

jC

thanks

 

[Zee]

no front page, just linux hosting with basic php, mysql, cgi, shared ssl etc

 

[Chunkee]

i meant the 3 year promo has Front Page extensions. I am looking at the domain management console now, thats why it is confusing?

Im not sure i understand what you are asking, the frontpage setting is under "domain"

 

[Chunkee]

okay, so they do support FP extensions, just does not show on the comparison chart.

Yup, they do support it. Linux servers have had frontpage support ever since frontpage came out 🙂

1and1 sucks.

If you're a cheap ass, here are some budget web host options:

• Telnap.com
• RippleHost.com (read this first)
• HostPC.com
• DreamHost.com

why does 1and1 suck...i have not had one problem with them and find their admin tools easy to use.

also, everytime i had a support question they got back to me in 24 hours.

Because I hate/despise/loathe 1and1 for no particular reason, that's why 🙂

i agree at the beginning it was a little immature, but they have improved it greatly.

to each their own

I'm using 1and1 right now. I find them to be quite reliable and easy to set up. I don't think they suck at all.

Chunkee,

If you are happy with 1and1 then good for you, stick with them 🙂

Here I'll say it.....

1and1.com is the Macintosh of webhosts.

But isn't Macintosh stuff expensive?

 

[thirdlegstump]

True dat...although I meant as far as simplicity and limited control goes.

true, but free web hosting is free webhosting.

HostPC.com for $8.99/yr ends today 😛

I have one of their accounts, the interface is the worst thing I have ever used but the plan is fine if you do everything via FTP. (it's free after all...)
