WTF!!! it won't let me sign up. it keeps saying my address is invalid. anyone else having this problem? Is it cause I'm leasing my house while I'm at school?
 
Just remember with price goes support. I was disappointed with Addaction because they couldn't get my email setup to work. Actually they never tried to fix anything, I always got canned responses back in my email. My suspicion is they have very little technical support because they are so cheap. I use free 1and1 right now as a domain and fileholder, but I don't expect much service and don't use it for mission-critical stuff. I have always had better response from paid hosting, in particular Cedant Hosting.

They have your address; that would be enough for mailing bills... and if you don't pay up, they could turn you over to a collections agency which could in turn ruin your credit rating, etc.

Domain Names may be registered by 1&1 on your behalf through a variety of Domain Name Registration Services (each a "Registrar"). Each Registrar has its own terms and conditions concerning the registration and maintenance of domain names and you agree to be bound thereby.

Translation: We can sign you up for domain names through any company and you automatically agree to whatever those companies say you have to do.

um, i think that means if you register an account and tell 1and1 "ok register me a domain", that you're bound by the registrar's terms. that's nothing unusual.
