Dedicated, VPS, Offered by 1&1 Internet
Chesterbrook, Pennsylvania - (The Hosting News) - January 31, 2007 - Webhosting company, and subsidiary of United Internet, 1 and 1 Internet, has unveiled the operation of its new Lenexa, Kansas Data Center, along with a new line of dedicated and Virtual Private Servers (VPS), housed in the central U.S., for a low latency connection.
In addition, the center has fiber-optic connectivity to several ISPs, high redundant capacity and is capable of routing thousands of Terabytes per month without any data jams. These, and other, features enable 1 and 1 to guarantee its network a more than 99.99 percent uptime. In addition, security features such as redundant steel-reinforced walls, backup diesel generators; custom FE-25 protection and much more ensure that the servers will continue to operate regardless of external conditions. The 1 and 1 data center’s connectivity and security capacities make it possible for the company to unveil its new dedicated and VPS line and grow past its current 38,000 global servers.
1 and 1’s dedicated servers include dual and quad core servers, all fully-equipped with the latest hardware from AMD. Customers can select a root, managed or Windows server to determine the dedicated server solution that best suits their needs. Other features include up to 8 GB RAM and a Plesk 100 license.
The VPS are an ideal server solution for those who have outgrown a shared hosting plan but aren’t quite ready for a dedicated server. 1 and 1 VPS are partitioned servers that enable each partition to function as a virtual server dedicated to a single customer. These servers are partitioned in such a way that each server operates almost independently of the other accounts that share the server.
Andreas Gauger, Chairman of 1 and 1 Internet remarked, ”Since 1 and 1 sold out servers in October 2006, this new line of servers is a welcome and much requested addition. While the dedicated servers continue to be ideal for the professional that wants exclusive control and maximum power, the VPS solutions will appeal to those who seek greater control than with a regular hosting plan and need the flexibility of a root server to install their own security and software. In this regard, our new range of VPS is filling the gap between the full power of a dedicated server and the 1 and 1 shared hosting plans.”
There are three choices for the 1 and 1 VPS: VPS Level I is $29 per month, includes 10 GB hard disc space, one domain and 500 GB monthly transfer volume; VPS Level II is $39 per month and includes 20 GB, hard disc space, a domain, SSL certificate and 1,000GB of monthly transfer volume and: VPS Level III at $59 per month includes 50 GB hard disc space, SSL certificate, one domain and 2,000 GB monthly transfer volume. Dedicated server packages starting from $99 per month are considerably less in price than the nearest competitor. All 1 and 1 shared hosting and VPS packages come with a 90-day money back guarantee.
1 and 1 was established in 1992 and hosts more than 7 million domain names, while 38,000 servers run on the company’s four state-of-the-art data centers, featuring Juniper and Cisco routers. 1 and 1’s global service community includes over 6 million customer contracts. The company’s U.S. headquarters is located in Chesterbrook, PA. Internet’s global community includes 6,000 employees and a market cap of $4 billion. 1 and 1 features an array of services, from instant domain packages to all-inclusive shared hosting plans, dedicated servers and ready-to-run eShops. 1 and 1 is a Microsoft Joint Development Partner, and works with other paramount companies such as Google, Plesk, Symantec, and HP/Compaq.

Hi,
Well well well… All this looks so good up until you really taste it yourself…
1&1 is a huge corporation and it’s true. They serve millions of customers all around the world since many years and this is true also.
But the reality is as soon as you cross the line of transferring all your web assets with them you’re at their mercy…
1. Technical support is so bad that the only word to describe it precisely is FAILURE
2. They don’t have any redundancy or fail over hosting solution. Means that when their server goes down, your web site is diving as well
3. Since they have reestablished our service (after 3 days of pure downtime) they have lost all - *ALL* the content of our web shell - including the databases…
They didn’t forget to send the invoice this morning though… And we’re still offline…
1&1, we’re looking for another web hosting services right now for our 18 websites, and we’re sorry but, you’re name didn’t come up as a potential supplier anymore… You just lost the profile for this professional task.
