    1and1 have a control panel for deleting contracts and domain names from contracts here:

    https://contract2.1and1.co.uk

    I know somebody who only wanted to delete a domain name from his contract and accidentally deleted his entire contract, so be cafull in selecting what you really intend to delete.

    Good luck

    cancel.1and1.com or cancel.1and1.co.uk I think are the url's for cancelling domains & packages, moving the domain away is not enough as you would still re-billed.

    I had a letter from a debt collection agency about a name I moved away a year before. I'd in fact go as far as sending a recorded letter to them informing them of the cancellation and ask for confirmation in writing.

    Dreadful company.

    I had the exact same thing happen to me last year. I'd run away from 1and1 as fast as possible.

    1and1.co.uk

    hi all
    You can not log on to 1and1 to cancel your unwanted domain names there is a seperate site as stated above contract2.1and1.co.uk but you get timed out with error 500 notice or you just cant log in at all i have phoned 1&1 on a(0871 number not free on any call plan) only to be left waiting for a reply to cancel your names is allmost impossable thay say thay have isuses with the site this was the answer thay gave me 6 weeks ago and its the same answer weeks later
    The name of the game is to renew your domain names no matter what.
    I have 20+ unwanted that i had asked 1&1 not renew but on the whois thay have been renewed i have spoken nominet i can cancel them with nominets control panel but 1&1 may still charge THIS HAS HAPPEND BEFORE.

    Ian.

    Someone should write to watchdog, very easy to submit your story on their website. If 4 or 5 of you who have problems with them do it, I'm sure watchdog would be all over it

    1&1

    Im probably falling further and further into the trap.

    I have about 200 domains with 1&1.

    40 of them i'd want to renew.. but 160 of them are errors of being a total novice.

    I agree completely that trying to cancel these domains... is VERY difficult as they purposefully use a seperate hosting for their cancellations page that just times out. You CAN do it.. if your patient.

    But with 160 domains I want cancelling... god that is gunna require a LOT of patience.

    I used them because they were cheap, and starting out cheap is good but I would honestly recommend paying the extra few quid and using a better provider.

    Im now stuck in the net.. of using them simply because i have so many domains with them.

    Any advice on a way of moving away?

    Steps to cancelling domains with 1and1.co.uk


    Step 1 : Go to https://contract.oneandone.co.uk/
    Step 2 : Choose the account you want to cancel
    Step 3 : Cancel entire contract (or the domains you don't want)
    Step 4 : Click on the cancel contract(will be sent to your email )
    Step 5 : Make sure that contract has been marked as cancelled


    MAKE SURE ALL THE CONTRACTS ARE CANCELLED !
