1 and 1 Web Hosting

My Review 

Great company! 1&1 offers Linux and Windows, hosted/shared or dedicated or even email-only. Email is POP + Web + IMAP!!! Pricing is great! Most plans include domains. I've been with them for almost 5 years and use them for numerous domains. Customer service has greatly improved over the years and has quick response.

Pros

* Multiple OS offerings

* Low-cost email, domain, and web space options

* Email can be accessed via POP, Web, or IMAP

* Web space can be hosted or dedicated

* Above-average customer service

Cons

* Canceling/deleting services is done on a different website, and can be a little scary

1&1 offers a lot for not a ton of money. They even offer licenses and design/publishing software (CD or download). I used to be with GoDaddy, but 1&1 is SO much better!
