PSA: 1and1 hosting is junk

[yhelothar]

Yup I confirmed it with their non-english speaking tech support too. They said the server automatically cuts off the connection past 100MB, and you cannot resume the file transfer either.

115 MB over http? or ftp?

1and1 is cool because they gave me free hosting.

Yeah I guess that's possible, but it's a PITA.
The tech support guy just told me to create a text file with "AllowStoreRestart on" in it, and rename it to .ftpaccess and place it on the root directory. That's supposed to let it upload large files. Testing it now.

OK now it still disconnects, but it lets me resume the transfer.

I'm sick of their lame ads in Maximum PC. Freaking damned book :|

isn't this like the cheapest money can buy? do they have servers located in another country?

What web content do you need over 100MB?

Dreamhost is cheaper yet better. Atleast they have a sense of humor.

i have uploaded files > 100mb to my free 1and1 account before

(not in the past couple months though)

i have never been successfully enabling resumes, IIRC it is configured that way

They actually credited me back my money for cancelling on them. So that gets a thumbs up in my book.
