1and1 cancellations advice

hey guys and gals

what is the best way to cancel contracts to make sure that you dont get billed.


thanx

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

Run away fast from 1&1, dreadful company

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.

 

[ratboy]

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.

Just to add, not being clear and open about how to cancel "contracts" I think just shows how out of touch these cowboys are. There are sites all over the net with people complaining about their practices.

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.

we should have a "sticky" about 1and1 ,cancellation procedures and such...

how many get lured into there venus flytrap :shock:

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?
