Their domain prices are good, but that's it. Personally when I look at the price I don't think of it as the price of the domain, but the price of the support. In 1&1's case, the lower price definitely stands for a lower quality of service. I use namecheap now as well and have never had an issue. I love all the different options you have that are readily accessible as well. <b>@Todd</b>, Good deal. I use HostGator as well and although many people complain about their service, I actually like it. Many of their level 1 support need to go to school, but overall I like them. Good luck with the transfer! <b>@ Nishanthe</b>, I know how that is. Now you know how to do it yourself next time ;) @ Chuck, I hear ya! Their domain prices are good, but that’s it.

I changed my hosts (hostdepartment.com to lunarpages.com) a week ago, and there was a big hick-up. Anyways thank you for posting this nice article. -Nish I wish I could see this post before a week.

I recently decided that I want to consolidate what I'm doing on the Internet down to basically one blog. The problem is, the blog I plan to keep is on the hosting service (anhosting) that I don't like nearly as much as the one (hostgator) which hosts the blog I plan to shut down. So, using your tips above, I think I'm just going to transfer my blog over to hostgator and go from there. Keep havin FuN Hi Josh,

I just finally got the word earlier this week that the last of my domains had been transferred away from their clutches successfully...free at last! Fortunately, I only had 15 domains with them...so it was not as traumatic as it could have been had I transferred all my others there. Fortunately, their incompetence became apparent so early in the process that I stopped several domain transfers mid-stream. Their domain reg service has an unbeatable price...but I couldn't believe how inept their customer service department was. They don't even have support email or a trouble ticket system...you just have to call "Bob" and "Jane" in India. And their product knowledge...at least in my experience...is atrocious. I'm certainly glad I never got into bed with them for hosting! I'm certainly tired of wrestling with domain registrars. Between the megalomaniac running GoDaddy and the lame support at 1and1...I'm glad I have NameCheap to fall back on. I couldn’t agree with you more about 1 and 1.
