Just wondering if anyone knows whether 1and1.com is a good hosting company for oxwall? I switched to fastcomet after horrible issues with godaddy and I just wonder if anyone has feedback?

Thank you

I tried the German equivalent (1und1) when I launched my website. The support and quality of it was so bad, that I actually had to cancle my contract and move to another hosting agency. 


They weren´t even able to setup the server according to my specifications. After pointing them out the issues and getting feedback 3 times that "now its correct" ... it still was not (and my programmers loosing hope and going insane with them). 


They have no idea how domains and domain transfer works (e.g. the limitation in moving from one host to the next). 


Overall the worst customer support I ever had to deal with. 


Again, this was the German version of it. I cannot say about international versions, but I promised myself I warn everyone who considers this company. So I do :)


Hope this helps!

it's important to consider a few factors before making a decision:
Server requirements: Ensure that 1and1.com's hosting plans meet the technical requirements of Oxwall. Check the Oxwall documentation or contact their support for the specific server requirements.
Performance and reliability: Look for reviews or customer feedback on the performance and uptime of 1and1.com's hosting services. You want a hosting provider that can deliver reliable and stable performance for your website.
Support: Consider the quality and responsiveness of customer support. It's important to have reliable support available in case you encounter any issues or have questions regarding your hosting account or Oxwall setup.
Pricing and features: Compare the pricing and features of 1and1.com's hosting plans with other providers like FastComet or other reputable hosting companies.

As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, I can provide some general information about 1and1.com (also known as IONOS) and FastComet, but I don't have access to real-time user reviews or experiences. Please note that the quality of hosting services can change over time, so it's a good idea to check for the most recent reviews and feedback. 1and1.com (IONOS): 1&1 IONOS is a well-known hosting provider that offers a range of hosting services, including shared hosting, VPS hosting, and dedicated servers. The company has a long history in the hosting industry and is known for its affordability and ease of use. However, customer experiences with 1&1 IONOS have been mixed in the past, with some users reporting issues with customer support and server performance. It's advisable to look for recent user reviews and experiences to determine if 1&1 IONOS is a good fit for your specific needs. FastComet: FastComet is also a hosting provider that offers various hosting solutions, including shared hosting, cloud VPS hosting, and dedicated servers. They have gained a positive reputation for their customer support, speed, and reliability. Users have often praised their performance and features, which include free site migration and daily backups. However, the quality of hosting services can vary, and it's essential to check recent reviews and assess whether FastComet meets your specific requirements. Regarding hosting Oxwall specifically, you should consider the technical requirements of Oxwall and ensure that the hosting provider you choose meets those requirements. This might include aspects like PHP and MySQL versions, server resources, and any specific Oxwall-related features. It's always a good practice to read recent user reviews and forums for the most up-to-date information on the performance and reliability of hosting providers, as well as their suitability for hosting specific applications like Oxwall. Additionally, you can also reach out to the hosting providers themselves for any pre-sales inquiries to ensure that they can meet your needs.
