Web Hosting View

Yes, 1&1 operate in the UK, and offer similar services and plans as their US counterparts. Why host in a UK datacenter? Because America might elect John McCain and there might be anymore freedom anymore in the US so it might make sense to consider hosting your website in another stable country. Here’s the link to the 1 & 1 Linux web hosting packages.

1&1.com is offering a 50% off sale on all their products and services, including their dedicated server configurations. The fine print on this deal states that the 50% discount applies to the first 3 months of the minimum contract, after which regular prices apply.

1&1 Internet is offering a nice deal on their best dedicated server package at $382 per month. The box is a Dual CPU Dual Core AMD Opteron 2216 with 8 GB of RAM. It comes with 2×500 GB hard disk drives with a hardware RAID 1 configuration. The nice thing about the 1&1 packages is that they come a configurable firewall service and serial access for console access that will also allow power down reboots.

For those uneasy about managing the server, and require some automation, it comes with a Plesk 8 manager for up to 100 domains. Check this out here.
