I was trying to save a client some money, so I decided to try 1and1 for their free domain for a year promo. No commitment, no fuss, and if it doesn't work out, I can transfer to another registrar. Yeah, that worked out like sand in your lube. Still have $350 on my card that I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to fight to get back. It went from free to 350 in the blink of an eye.

What a shitbag cunty company. You'd have to be an asshole even to be an affiliate for them.

Never heard of them... but thanks for the heads up

You're going to have fun trying that too with 1and1...

Look on the bright side - at least you saved $8 on the domain

j3rkules · 09-14-2015, 11:43 AM

Yeah, shady fuckers.

mineistaken · 09-14-2015, 11:45 AM

Would be nice if you elaborated on 350.

Hardships of transferring from them were notorious on forums for years though.

Harmon · 09-14-2015, 11:47 AM

Adult 101, always read the fine print.

That's ridiculous!

shake · 09-14-2015, 11:48 AM

Yeah, they are the worst for that kind of shit. I tell everyone rule #1 is keep your domain away from your host. I can understand trying to save a client money, but if they can't afford 80 cents a month for a domain they should find another business or hobby.

All those easy entry guys like 1and1, blue host, hotsgator etc. are aimed at broke dreamers in a hurry to fail without spending much money. They help a lot with the first part, - not so helpful with the second part.

You still get (no more than) what you pay for, even online.

Milfer · 09-14-2015, 12:09 PM

You should not have registered a domain that you wanted to transfer to another registrar. They offer one year for free for a reason.

Anyway why did you need to transfer at first place? and how did you end up paying $350? I am asking because I also registered a free domain there

Sly · 09-14-2015, 12:17 PM

Never make an important decision based on economic reasons. Usually leads to disaster. Case in point.

"Free" anything just isn't worth it. I run the other way when I see that word.

Case point, I ran towards a free pussy sign... wound up with 7 cats in front of a Winn Dixie.

This nigra knows what he is talking about.

Paul&John · 09-14-2015, 12:48 PM

Once I tried to register there, but it didnt worth the hassle

Domain + Plus Hosting + Billed for Two Contracts

After I signed up, it took me to a contract selection page. I clicked it and it kept taking me to a contract payment screen with my payment information there. I filled it out several times trying to get access.

Barry-xlovecam · 09-14-2015, 03:07 PM

Call them or email them to cancel the duplicate contract.

Make an account on some domain legal@domain and cc: the emails to get their attention. Allow them to resolve it first. Then if they don't -- you make a dispute claim with your card's issuer for the entire amount -- they will chargeback the transaction.

Great idea. I'll be using that next time I have shitty service

1&1 I saw their sponsored posts on facebook and in the comments everyone just slated them, lol it was embarrassing. Never considered using them after that...

I finally got it resolved (I hope). They sent me an email verification stating that I cancelled my account and the billing was in error. I won't know until the money goes back onto my card, but that's enough ammunition to win a chargeback. They're still a shitty company.
