Interesting. I checked them out a bit and found an article on Microsofts site about the company. They're not bogus. I'm going to give it a try.

Thanks Man!

Haven't found any loopholes yet.

Looks good.

That was a looong contract wasn't it? I'm hoping there's an option to cap bandwidth. I didn't see that yet but it's probably there.

I read their agreement (I'm bored at work today) and went ahead and signed up. It looks pretty darn good.

Darn NooNoo sorry that you can't get it in the UK.

I signed up too. There's an alert function to let you know if you're going over a preset spending limit but it doesn't automatically shut anything down. Theoretically a bunch of people could download say, a large avi and you'd wind up paying $.99 per gig of bandwidth.

It took over a day for mail to start flowing into the domain. It works fine now that it's up though.

I'm amazed that this is actually legit.........I haven't signed up yet - wanted to see what other people saw in it, but I may just have to go for it now. By the time 3 years is up I will be well on my way to actually being able to pay for the service when the trial runs out!!!

Yeah, but it that megabits or megabytes of transfer? Huge difference.

EDIT: Guess if I just read...

12. DATA TRANSFER VOLUME

12.1. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, a data-transfer volume of 6 Gigabytes per months is included in the 1&1 Services. The utilized data-transfer volume is calculated on the basis of all data-transfers that take place during any given calendar month (including but not limited to downloads, email, uploads and website visits). For purposes of this Agreement, 1 Gigabyte equals 1000 Megabytes, 1 Megabyte equals 1000 Kilobytes and 1 Kilobyte equals 1000 Bytes.

Wow, got started with this yesterday and just registered 2 domains for $5.99 a year and already got my index.html and pop mail kickin. This is truly an awesome find!

**Major Kong** · October 30th, 2003, 06:12 PM

I got my first invoice Monday. $5.99 for registering my domain was it. I've just started doodling around with my web space before I came back up to work, but everything is up and running. As silencio said it took about a day for the mail server to kick in and all is well now.
