- They are having special offers in this new year (2009):
HOSTING: 3 Months Free on select shared hosting packages.
DOMAINS: 25% Off! Pay only $6.74 the first year on a new .com domain name purchase! I usually bought domain that cost $9, so a 25% is quite big.
- 1&1 is both the world’s biggest web host, and the fastest growing. Their global community is 7.83 million customer contracts strong.
- 99.9% Uptime. No matter what the cause, network downtime hurts your credibility, your sales, and your business. 1&1 uses its experience and expertise in hosting to deliver 99.9% uptime, so your website is there when you need it.
