Hi Richard,
I switched to 1and1.com and have been totally satisfied with their service. Yes, their software deal does sound too good to be true, but low and behold the software package does arrive in your mailbox shortly after you sign up. The service is solid,the control panel works well, and the cost is very reasonable.
I have no complaints.
Also I just transfered another domain to 1and1.com and the cost was only $5.95! Not bad!
So I recommend 1and1.com without reservation.
Note also that new subscribers get the new version of NetObjects Fusion ver. 8 Free!
Hope this helps, Andrew www.shapesandcolors.com
