Web Hosting Reviews

I’ve been using 1 and 1 host since long time and have never been disappointed by them. They have been highly reliable all the time. I’ve never faced any downtime issues and their customer support has always been good.

The best hosting feature of 1 and 1 are their server speed and database reliability.

1&1 is ideal for mySQL based web sites e.g. Drupal, Wordpress, Joomla, phpBB3, or any custom CMS development using PHP and mySQL.

I’ve tried plenty of other webhosts for hosting dynamic websites but none has proven to be better than 1 and 1 in terms of server speed and reliability. In fact I’m so much impressed with their server speed and reliability that I host all of my dynamic websites on 1 and 1.

The webhosting manager is not based on cpanel but it is their own and quite good though navigating around it can be little tricky.

1 and 1 also offers webmail which I find quite useful and have been using since long time even though it is not the fastest webmail.

The only downside of 1 and 1 is that they offer limited mySQL databases. With a beginner Business package they offer 2 mySQL databases each of 100 MB. However given the fact that the database is reliable ande 100 MB can be more than sufficient for smaller dynamic websites it is worth. After all there is no such thing as free lunch.

And guess what this website itself is hosted on 1 and 1. :)
