Anthony ShapleyWe recommend 1&1 Wordpress Hosting »
If you have 1&1 then you will probably know that they have a blog option. It is also worth knowing that the blog option is a WordPress blog. There have been some people who report problems with having a wordpress blog hosted with 1&1 but it is worth bearing in mind that there are a great deal of people using it and most of them find it fine.
No hosting service is completely outstanding and there will be some people that have minor problems. In fact if you find something which only has positive feedback then I would tend to be suspicious. There is always going to be someone who has something negative to say about a product and seeing negative reviews proves the the reviews are real and that they have not been made up.
Often the negative reports are about the customer service and it is not often these days that you come across a product with good customer service. It a shame but unfortunately a reality, where many companies have automated responses, foreign phone lines or just have too few staff to deal with the questions being fired at them. Also you may just catch them on a bad day and that bad service will stick in your mind much more than bad service.
It is also worth bearing in mind how you behave if you get a good service and if you get a bad service. If something is good, you take it for granted and keep quiet. If something is not good then you will moan and groan and tell everyone about it. This is one of the best reasons for trying out something for yourself before drawing a conclusion. It is also often the case that something that you might find good, another person does not like. This is what makes us all individuals and why we should never rely on someone else’s opinion to make a decision for us.
1&1 offer great hosting, they have a lot of packages available at a low cost so they’re also great value for money. It is also worth taking a look at some of the online information about WordPress and 1&1 Hosting. There are some useful tutorials set up by users giving help and advise and these can be a great substitute for relying on customer services for answers to questions if your a beginner.
If you do some research, you are likely to find a mix of opinions and comments about the service. This will be the same for every host that you look up. People tend to have ways they like things done and if they find a host that does with this, then they will use it and like it.
Do not let some negative comments put you off. Take a closer look at what you are getting for your money and calculate whether you think it offers good value for money. As I’ve only ever been pleased with them.
