1and1 web hosting sucks

1and1 web hosting sucks. Why? I have just lost a whole post which was very topical and very well written if I do say so myself. I got the “can’t connect to database” message when I tried to publish the post. Now, I know it’s not the blog, because it connected to the database to display the posts before I started writing the new one, and I have published posts since upgrading.
The fact is, one and one sucks because they have too many sites sharing too few resources and at the busy times they just can’t cope. This begs the question then, is the service really good value when it’s based on no-one using it?
The problem always comes down to the amount of effort involved in changing hosts. Still, that may be inevitable now. I had read in the past that 1and1 does not take it lightly when customers using their hosting services host complaints about them. I read they have cancelled hosting accounts without notice.
If this blog disappears - you’ll have some idea what has happened.
Indeed they do suck, i have a blog hosted through them and i have no FTP access to the file at all. so i have no way to modify the html code to add widgets and bookmarks etc. complete ass lol.
Yep, 1and1 sucks..
Why: Try and contact their supprt, billing or even their sales through email, or message them or how about the expensive 24 hour, 7 days a week non-stop lines - and get no reply.
The company is dodgy! Any company that doesn’t respond within 10 weeks has a problem!
