1and1's name makes me think SQL. You would need that for profiles and such.

I would just recommend getting a host with Cpanel:] try hostii.net because if your site is going to have forums and content management systems like Drupal and Joomla then I recommend getting Cpanel if you can, dont use hostgator they SUCK, I use hostgator for my parents company site and they ssuck for the amount they charge

QUOTE(rail01 @ Apr 7 2008, 08:59 PM) why does 1and1 suck? and what sspecial about the two you mentioned? thanks. 1and1 has bad customer support. My friend has a domain from them and their customer support for ANY problem SUCKS. They also sometime crash as a whole (their site, domains and everything) and that's another bad. BlueHost is good. I've heard a lot about it on sites but never known anyone who uses it. |

I have 1and1, and I don't have any problems. I have never had a problem with customer support. I've called them, and I haven't had to wait on the phone more than 10 minutes.
My servers were done for 2 hours, and they credited by account for the downtime. It was only something like seven cents, but they still made an effort. I don't know why you all say it sucks. |

Well I mean I have 1&1 and of course I know what I'm doing so I don't actually have to ask for their customer support. xD
And I've called them before and they helped me just fine, and I've sent them e-mails and they always reply back. Godaddy sucks with customer support >_> My friend used them and I had to talk to those people on the phone, I swear they don't know what their talking about. |

back in the day when i thought creating a website or a social network was real easy, there was this thing i TRIED to use. and when i mean tried, it was just that i had lost interest and realized it wasnt a thing for me to start just yet. lemme go and check through my emails to see if i can find out what it was....
//edit: took a while but i found it. im pretty sure its not what you want but if it helps  KickApps |
