For those who hate Fasthosts and 1and1 webhosts

[british steve]

If you like me you cant stand the incredibly poor/rip off service provided by fasthosts and 1and1 Webhosts then here is a little way for you to cost them some money.

1and1 are running a charity offer - sign up for a free email account at www.gmx.com (http://www.gmx.com) there after login just once in 4 weeks and they will give $1 to Unicef.

Fasthosts ~ 1and1 ~ GMX

They are all part of the United Internet group

So for it has raised around $35,000 infact it has proved so popular that it looks like GMX have lowered the profile of the offer to reduce the nuber of people signing up!!!!

Also get every one else you know to sign up at the same time!

i agree most hosts email is really stable and has a very minium down time per a yr

[evilonion]

catches to their offers.
sever downtime.
ancient backup systems with no option to upgrade or ability to change.
incredibly good service when signing up, the complete opposite when there is an issue.

For domains i have had no issue using one and one, for servers and customer service they have been the worst so far.

not every host is the same in regards to email

i would find a host you are happy with and host everything all in one place.
