As of 2011[update], 1&1 is the third-largest domain registrar in the world and offers free private domain registration.
In 2006 the company estimated that it hosted more websites than any other company in Germany and the United Kingdom, and that it hosted the seventh-largest number of websites among web hosting companies in the United States.[3]
Cloud servers, virtual private servers (VPS) and dedicated servers are available. The cloud servers can have their hardware upgraded at run-time while the others cannot. The dedicated servers with their unlimited traffic are low priced and highly competitive, however the single mac address makes virtualisation difficult for clients.
1&1 partnered with Zoho on April 28, 2010, to launch an office suite for its web hosting customers.[4]
Other partners include Microsoft, Parallels, and Nominet.
The U.S. data center is in Lenexa, Kansas.[5]
1&1 has made a move toward green hosting by working with the Bonneville Environmental Foundation to purchase Renewable Energy Certificates to offset their energy use.[6]
