Hey folks…

I’m considering using 1&1 for my website hosting and domain registration but wanted to get some opinions first. I’ve heard mixed reviews about their services.

Can anyone share their experiences with 1&1? How do their hosting plans compare to other providers, and are there any pros or cons I should be aware of?

Thanks a lot…
