1and1 web hosting

[kag]

I got two accounts with their 3 years offer back in the day. Those two accounts are still activated, I was just wondering if others have had their accounts shut down??

i didnt wait for them to shut mine down. I switched hosts to godaddy. 500 megs -> 5 gigs

RossMAN, I already have an account with darthworth (actually I have two). I just use 1and1 for hosting bigger files so I don't waste my bandwith on darth's server.

Thanks for reminding me
None of the accounts are shut down yet.

I'm wondering when they will decide to shut them down

if you're close to your 3 year anniversary, it should tell you how many days you have left when you login to the control panel... says 9 days for me

I converted mine to a paid account. Still working great and pretty cheap. I think it's something like $4/month for 200GB.

mine is still working, and it was 3 years back in september or october. i switched to paid hosting anyways so I dont really care.

I forget my login for my 1and1 account.

What a coincidence, I just received an email from 1&1 telling me that my account will expire on January 31st.

Mine still works, and I still get stupid emails from them. It seems like it's been more than 3 years.

Mine was dead awhile ago. I have a hard time recommending them because their site was always slow.

haha me too, and I think it was tied to my school account which expired.
Oh well, I stopped using it 2 years ago when my domain expired and I didn't reregister it ><

A month after I got my notice, my free account is still activated. Oh well, you can't beat free.
