1and1 hosting server is down for 20th time

The server that I rent from 1and1 hosting is down again. This is the 20th time it's crashed since February 2nd. It stayed up for 3 1/2 days this time.

1and1 Hosting has refused to repair or replace the server. They claim it's the customer's problem if the server keeps crashing. They say that you have to prove the crashes are their fault before they'll look at the server and consider fixing or replacing it.

I'm about half way through moving from 1and1 hosting to goDaddy. Because of other postings on the web about problems with 1and1 hosting I'm transferring all the domains I have registered through 1and1.com to goDaddy.com. Others have posted stories about 1and1 holding domains registered with them hostage because of other disputes with them. To be safe I'm moving all my domains to goDaddy.com even though it's costing me around $300.00 in transfer/renewal fees.


Once again before rebooting the serial console showed only:
