I've had the service for at least 5 years. I have 2 websites that are for non-profits and my own website. Plus I set up a site for a local business with 1&1. Great service, reliable, fast response.

Been with them for years. Always great service and low prices. Web mail is a bit slow, but that's my only nitpick.
