Nice work DaveM
rubycon I have been using 1and1 for a couple of years.
I find the functionality of there admin page means you never really need to contact them. That is my reason for using them.
Unfortunately trying to get good technical support is not an option, as they just have call centres with non technical people.
If you want someone with good telephone technical support I would recommend
www.redstation.co.uk they have plenty of time and know exactly what they are talking about, although they are sometimes engaged it's always the smaller comapnies that offer a more profesional and personal service.
Not happy with 1and1 write a letter.
