El Cajon, CA | I had 1and1 until I tried to let about 5 domain names expire.
Know what 1and1 did? They sent me to collections after they unsuccessfully charged my credit card. |

| They have auto-renew turned on by default. You have to login to a separate domain in order to cancel (cancel.1and1.com I think?) the auto-renew. Their entire admin/login/billing system is a PITA and a nightmare. The only good thing about them is their $7 domains with free privacy guard. Even their DNS management is some kind of hokey half-assed and even less featured tool. |

| having auto renew turned on is not a bad thing really. but the problem is that they cannot send people to a collection agency for future registration/renewals.
since my credit card expired when it was time to renew my domains they should NOT have renewed and been online for 5 months. they should have been turned off so I knew they did not renew.
Then .. even though it is a direct violation of ICANN policies and TOS, 1and1 refused to let me transfer my domains to another registrar until I paid their colletion agency. this was for money I did not yet owe them but had to pay in orer to transfer and since I dont have 500 years to argue back and forth with 1and1 I paid. which is what they bank on |
