Unique to 1and1 is that they offer both Linux / Unix hosting, along with their very popular Microsoft Windows/NT based hosting, all for the same price. Also, depending on the hosting package, 1&1 Hosting gives you 1-5 free domain names with every hosting package (or you can pay as low as $8.99 per domain).
The 1&1 Hosting Microsoft Home Package plan offers 120 GB of web space and 1,200 GB of monthly transfer volume. Even the Microsoft Home Package plan supports the basic Active Server Pages (ASP) web-based application, though only their MS Business and Developer supports the ASP .NET 2.0 framework. All 1&1 MS plans support MS Access databases. 1&1's shared linux hosting is also robust and offers features not frequently seen elsewhere. Whether you choose the Microsoft or Linux plans from 1and1.com, you are bound to find a plan that's right for you.
Price Value 1&1 Hosting offers good value when compared to other web hosting firms, and are arguably a pricing leader in the hosting industry with plans starting at just $2.99/mo. Considering that you have the option between Linux / Unix and Microsoft-based hosting for the same price, this is a great deal. Usually, the Microsoft/NT hosting plans are more expensive due to the licensing required for these types of servers. In addition, 1&1 customers can get premium software bundles worth up to $900 for free, depending on the hosting plan they choose. For no extra cost a variety of valuable add-ons are included like a Photo Gallery, Blog and a WYSIWYG Site builder to help even beginners develop a professional web site, and we don't want to forget the 90-day guarantee. (That was not a typo...you actually do get 90 days to decide if you made the right choice) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
