Hello!
You can do a search here for "1and1".
Suggest you also search, WebHostingTalk.com as well.
I had one of the free promotional packages offered in January. There were a lot of problems with the servers for several months. However, one day something happened and Moodle began working without a problem on 1and1.com servers (knock on wood
). They must have reconfigured the servers.
Anyway, as long as you can get your money back, you can give them a try and see what happens.

Hi WP,
I also have one of the free promotional site at 1and1, but have never used it. If I install Moodle, would this be the procedure?
- upload the moodle folder
- adjust config.php settings
- set a cron job
- run the setup routine from moodle admin
Am I missing anything? Also, if it is not too much trouble, if you could send or post a copy of your config settings, that would help me a lot.
Thanks!
Don

Hi Don,
1and1 has improved fairly recently. I have been able to do Moodle installations and upgrades with very few if any problems.
Below is an example of the type of information needed in the "config" file. Remember to add the "o" in the user name.
Also you need to create an installation of "phpMyAdmin" if you intend to add other programs to the server. Moodle has a file in Modules/AddOn page which can add a form of phpMyAdmin to a Moodle installation. (You could probably use that one for other programs as well but you would have to enter Moodle each time to do so.)
How to set up phpMyAdmin (at 1and1)
http://faq.1and1.com/advanced_functions_php_mysql_perl_ssh_/php/2.html
CONFIG SETTINGS
//=========================================================================
// 1. DATABASE SETUP
//=========================================================================
$CFG->dbtype = 'mysql'; // mysql or postgres7 (for now)
$CFG->dbhost = 'db92.jipora.net'; // eg localhost or db.isp.com
$CFG->dbname = 'db95345999'; // database name, eg moodle
$CFG->dbuser = 'dbo95345999'; // your database username
$CFG->dbpass = 'ABCdEfgh'; // your database password
$CFG->prefix = 'mdl_'; // Prefix to use for all table names
$CFG->dbpersist = false; // Should database connections be reused?
// "false" is the most stable setting
// "true" can improve performance sometimes
//=========================================================================
// 2. WEB SITE LOCATION
//=========================================================================
$CFG->wwwroot = 'http://s12345678.onlinehome.us/moodle';
//=========================================================================
// 3. SERVER FILES LOCATION
//=========================================================================
$CFG->dirroot = '/homepages/22/d12345999/htdocs/moodle';
//=========================================================================
// 4. DATA FILES LOCATION
//=========================================================================
$CFG->dataroot = '/homepages/22/dd12345999/htdocs/moodledata';
Hope this helps,
