After using 1and1 free for 3 years ('preview' offer), it's time to pay up - end of free ride. Their $2.99 per month is a pretty good offer, with 5GB of webspace and an 'included blog', but wanted to know if there's anything better out there.
I only host family pictures on my page, nothing grand. Would like to host my blog on my own site instead of blogspot.
Have been fine with 1and1's performance, though their customer service is pretty pathetic. A friend's account was hacked to send tons of spam, and he was not given much of a chance to defend himself. His main complaint was that 1and1 stores passwords in the clear text (as evident when you change your password, your old password is displayed in text form), so anybody who gets into their database can mess around with any customer's account.
1and1 never bothered to acknowledge that this is a problem, and that's the one main thing that worries me.
So any alternatives?
