1 and 1 Web Hosting: 1&1 Review

The 1 and 1 web hosting (1and1.com) services offered to the small and medium enterprise are impressive. Their strength is their excellent value for money, in offering a very large array of services and features with their web hosting products for an extremely low monthly charge.

The 1 and 1 homepage is attractive and is set up to give clear information about their products and services and what they offer. There is a graphic showing very clearly the extras to be had for each package, helping reveal what stands out. This is definitely a plus in deciding which package to choose. The company track record is also clearly stated with financial summaries, and is rock solid.

1 and 1 web hosting plans offer the standard functions required for setting up a website with a few refreshing differences: they offer a content management tool, which they call a "Dynamic Content Catalog." This means that the ease of use of their software is in advance of most of the other offerings out there. They offer a 90-day money-back guarantee which is also an advantage, making their offering very attractive. They then offer a highly sophisticated tool for the business owner at packages starting at only $9.99 per month: their "In2site Live Dialogue" web site visitor monitoring and communications tool. This allows the person monitoring to communicate directly with people as they browse the site. While certainly an amazing tool, its use must be carefully considered, as web site visitors will probably react unfavorably to anyone monitoring their visit to a web site. With careful communications, the tool can be a very valuable support and marketing assistant and is a unique offering.

Our 1&1 review turned up another unique feature: 1 and 1 web hosting solution site offers driving directions for visitors. Instead of an annoying hop to an external web site, your 1 and 1 site will offer directions within the site browsing experience.

With the standard bases covered and a wealth of features for next to no monthly costs, the 1 and 1 offering is a very attractive provider, and with a money-back guarantee (check the small print!) most users will be very hard pressed to find a different provider for their first web hosting needs. Transferring an existing web presence to 1 and 1 is also a sure bet since the 90 day money back guarantee ensures that no costs need be incurred if the customer wishes to opt out. A winner.
