if anyone is using 1and1.com for their site, i have a few quesitons.



1st, they suck like none other. the connection speeds are awful.



2nd, all i wanna do is upload my own html files, and i cant. this is really pissing me off, and i'm gonna call and cancel, but i have to wait til monday.



anyways, if there's something big i'm missing, please let me know. otherwise, 1and1 is going to recevie a very unpleasant call tomorrow

    Yeah I did sign up for their free package.



    They are super slow. I guess there are too many people signing up .

    I don't know why you can't upload. I have been able to perfectly fine. If your dns hasn't been set up yet, you can use that goofy 2030002.homesite.us (or whatever it really is, since I can't remember) dns to connect to until it is.



    Can't complain about the speeds myself, but it is free for 3 years.

    I think there are already two threads about 1and1, use the search feature. I know i started one a while back, and maybe a couple weeks (month?) someone asked about them.

    I don't have any speed issues, perhaps because I am paying for it over here in Germany and you get it free in the US.

    I use ftp software to connect and upload my pages. You might flip through the FAQ once you login to the admin.1and1.com page and get info about the settings.

    I have two sites with them... under their free plan...



    And no probs whatsoever.. there are still nice and fast.



    [shrugs]



    However, I do uploading the real way.. with an FTP client, so maybe thats what you need to do, rather than using an upload script on their site.

    ftp software comes in a lot of different brands. www.download.com will help you find one that you will like (I am sure there are some that others prefer more than what I use).



    Once you install the software, the configuration is usually pretty straightforward and includes they ftp destination (your website) and the login/password.



    If your previous post was sarcasm, then may I recommend using smilies of some sort to harass us next time.
