The 1and1 Hosting server locked up again about 10 minutes ago. I waited to reboot it to see if it would unlock in 5 minutes the way it did the last time. It didn't so I rebooted it a minute or so ago.
1and1.com must be the worst hosting company in the world. This server has been crashing periodically since I started trying to use it in late January. The problem was reported to 1and1.com tech support on February 2nd but their attitude is "not our problem". They claim you have to prove it's their fault the server is crashing before they'll do anything. Let's see, it's their server, they installed the software on it, and it's in their data center. Whose fault could it be? 1and1 Hosting just refuses to accept responsibility for the servers it provides.
Oh, by the way, this is the 23rd time the server has locked up since I started counting in early February. If you're looking for an unreliable hosting company, look no further than 1and1.com. If you actually want your website to stay up (unreasonable expectation, I know) then go somewhere else.
