“1and1 Internet is probably the largest shared Web Hosting provider world-wide, and second only to Yahoo! in North America. 1and1 gives off a distinct corporate vibe with its slick Website and Control Panel awash in shades of blue and the elevator music that callers have to endure waiting for support to answer. Underneath this cool exterior we found hosting packages and web tools that
are simply hard to beat.”(Reference: http://www.webhostinghandbook.com/db/1and1/review/)
“1 & 1: It never breaks so I don’t have to fix ” (Reference: http://webhostinggeeks.com/user-reviews/index2.php?item_id=6)
“My account never functioned as promised, in that it never allowed addition of “external” domains. Each time I called tech support they said it was a known problem, that many customers were experiencing it, and that they had no known resolution time.This service offering never functioned as advertisted, and 10 days later it still does not work, and again with no resolution time.Of course they charged me anyway for a full year’s hosting.After working with many hosting services over many years, this is the worst experience I have ever had. I would not recommend this service to others.“ (Reference: http://www.webhostingjury.com/reviews/1and1)
“I’ve had no problems as far as downtime, but like others have found their customer service and billing to be beyond horrible. Consistently overbilled, and suspect this is intentional. If you don’t thoroughly check your invoices they take advantage. When you have an issue their response is to give you the link to their “cancel” page, which I’m now going to take advantage of (long overdue). Worse yet, I’m an affiliate and they don’t pay your commissions and don’t respond when you ask about it. Worse yet, I’ve got clients there that I also have to move. Stay FAR, FAR away from 1and1.” (Reference: http://www.webhostingjury.com/reviews/1and1 )

“GoDaddy has always been very efficient for me”- Randy P. (Reference: http://www.consumer-rankings.com/reviews-all?rvid=150&rcoid=1)
“You may remember GoDaddy web hosting from their scintillating Super Bowl advertising of the past two years and celebrity spokespeople (including race car drivers Danica Patrick and Dale Earnhardt Jr.). We remember Go Daddy for their long-standing tradition of providing an affordable blizzard of shared hosting plans, domain services, email services, virtual and dedicated servers, and business solutions. For the purposes of this review, we’ll focus on their shared hosting plans – not their clever ads or plethora of other hosting options. “(Reference: http://www.hosting-review.com/hosting-directory/editors_review/go-daddy)

“InMotion Hosting is for business-oriented websites, therefore it is not a one-in-all package for beginners to setup their website with full-fledged features in 10 minutes. It is for businesses that want a professional site that someone with skill will develop for them. InMotion Hosting even offer cheap website development if you do not wish to find a developer or cannot do it yourself. – James R “(Reference: http://www.consumer-rankings.com/reviews-all?rvid=2&rcoid=1)
“Unlike many low-cost web hosts that offer only one package, InMotion Hosting offers multiple packages with different features and pricing so that you can choose the one that best fits your needs. InMotion Hosting is also unique because its control panel is not located directly on its website, as many other web hosting control panels are. This means that once you create your account you will be able to focus on getting your website ‘in motion’ without being distracted by the company’s other offers or services.
