OT: Regarding the 1and1.com hosting deal that was posted a few months ago.

[Cheetah8799]

For those of you who, like me, signed up for the 1and1.com free hosting deal a few months ago, could you please comment in the thread I started over in the software forum: link to my thread.

Basically the 1and1.com service has gone down the crapper, and my Anandtech thread subscription emails have been getting bounced. I'm curious if anyone else has had the same problem.

Sorry everyone for posting this in the Hot Deals forum, but I figured maybe this would be a better place for people who got in on this deal to hear about it. Mods, if you feel you need to lock or delete this, go ahead.

Admittedly I only use it for image hosting, but I've had no problems with mine.

It was free. Even if it blows for the rest of our lives, you didn't pay a penny for it. They don't even have your cc info.



btw, my dvd player is acting funny these days

Maybe we need to add to the forum rules.....

"If you think you should start the title of your thread with "OT:", then don't post it in Hot Deals."

We could also add: "If you don't think a message belongs in Hot Deals, don't post a message that bumps it back to the top."

Sheesh.

Don't forget the classic "If your name doesn't end in 'Moderator', you don't tell people what does and does not belong."

Is that for real? What the hell do they say for 16 pages?

I run www.ownedforums.com off the 1and1.com free account, and have had 0 reliability problems..now, granted, I'm moving to a new server, but that has to do with gb bandwidth and how 5 gigs a month isn't cutting my 50-100 gigs of usage lol (depending on if I'm hosting vids or not).
