In this 1&1 review, GornDog examines each feature (domain registration, DNS, email, administration, support, etc.) and gives remarks on his experiences.
I’ve been using 1&1 Internet to host some small websites for a while, however the 3 year free preview of their “1&1 Professional Package” that I snagged in 2003 is about to expire so I am weighing my options. My post reviews their e-mail, DNS, PHP, tech support and more.
‘Bad’ Words Earn Blogger Big Fine
The Associated Press reports that a media watchdog group protested the conviction of an Italian blogger for defamation, warning Friday that such a verdict could lead to censorship of blogs in Italy.
Blogger Roberto Mancini, 59, was convicted of defamation last month in Aosta, northern Italy, and sentenced to pay $16,900 in fines and damages.
Four people, including two journalists, had filed a complaint against him over the content of his blog, which reports on local news in sarcastic and sometimes crude terms.
The problem for the legal authorities: How do you prove the guy actually made the post?

First I want to say that for a second language, you’re quite good at it. But IMO if you’re writing effectively in english, you must sound like it’s your first language. As for whether or not the letter you swiped was improper, I don’t know. I didn’t read it.
There are telltale things in your writing that give you away. Usually they are little things that in conversation would not be caught, but in the written word, are.
Examples:
“In fact, my target market is the US and Europe people. ”
Should be something like ‘my target market is people in the US and Europe.” You wouldn’t call people from europe “europe people.” They’re european people, or just “europeans.”
“searching the cheapest web hosting.” Should be “searching for the cheapest web hosting”
“”You guys are getting in my nerve” should be “getting on my nerves.”
“Did they give you the bull’s eye answer” is not something I’ve ever heard an native english speaker say. So in this case it’s not the words as much as the phrase isn’t one we would say.
There are many more little things like this throughout.
“Don’t you love taking the day off relaxing yourself in a beach?” The word “yourself” isn’t needed, and you would relax on a beach, not in a beach.
“Millions of people rake money in online business” Should be rake in money online… or rake in money with online businesses, or something like that.
So as I said… your english is quite good for a second language, but to convince Americans (for example) to lay out money for your product, I think your english needs to sound like we wrote it.
I hope I’m not being too harsh.

As this site is obviously under development, the last thing on anyone’s mind was getting the site indexed by the Google search engine. First you build the site, then it gets indexed by Google, then visitors arrive, right? At least that’s the way Mom always said it should work. So how does a brand new site suddenly appear in the Google index?
Here are a few guesses on how Google could have discovered and indexed this site so early without the site being submitted to Google or linked to by anyone.
So much for the mythical “Google sandbox.”
Well, we’re almost live–live in the sense that you can see a few pages, but not officially live yet. For anyone curious, here’s what we’ve accomplished so far in terms of domain, hosting and design:
