1and1 Contract Termination

[Webferret]

1 and 1 are worse than hostgator fer chrisakes.

EDIT: Case in point, I shut down a credit card that I was using to pay 1and1 for a while and all they did was close the account. I have not once heard from them regarding it, nor a collection agency, and that was three years ago.

Correct speaking from experience.

Thay suck bad, but once you close you card/account, they're done with you.

I've never had any problems with hostgator. Granted their support people aren't terribly smart or helpful, but setup is always quick for me and cancellation has been easy.

I hate companies who do this. This is just one reason why 1and1 has a bad rep.

i still have 1and1, but it was the hosting I got when I was a "newbie". But now that I'm no longer a noob, I want to move. I want dedicated hosting, cpanel, fantastico, etc. Any recommendations where the majority of people in this forum can agree that its a good host? I dont want one person to say "xyz" is great, 10 others bash it, and the cycle continues. I'm looking for something long term so I wont have to move 70+ sites again.
Thanks

As a last resort why not just rent it out in the meantime?

It's pretty common to not be able to cancel things. They try to do whatever they can to keep you.

Id block them on your cc, update your contact info to some guy in africa so they can't try to collect

Yeah, I even have proof of faxes sent to them and they routinely ignore my cancellations for domains. Did I mention their support sucks, too? What, am I codependent or something?
