1AND1.com is offering up to five Free .COM Domain Names for one year! Promotion runs throughout May 2010 but would likely end early due to nature of this deal. Get in on it soon!

Found this:
- I ordered a free domain.
- Then I cleared my cookies.
- Then I ordered another domain.
- Then I repeated this over and over again until I had requested 7 different domains.

If all 7 go through and get registered for free, I will be ordering more.

Same paypal account for each one so we will see what happens.


No contracts as long as you cancel before the years up, cancel.1and1.com


I did a little research and found this http://www.webhostingjury.com/reviews/1and1 very mixed reviews. But also found this:
You are always able to transfer your domain out of 1and1 after 60 days, just like any other domain registrar. The only problem from my experience with 1and1 is that if you forget to cancel after the first year and refuse to pay the fair renewal fee of $8.99 than they will persue to collect the $8.99 through collections. The accusations of not being able to manage/control/transfer your domain name is false. You can always cancel at any time at http://cancel.1and1.com/ and keep your domain for the duration of the term. I wouldn't give out scam or warnings by just reading stories you see online, but rather from personal experiences, and from my experiences I'd just be sure to transfer the domain out the first year and cancel the billing if I no longer plan to stay with them.

You're not spending a penny with this promotion and at worst they'd rebill you for $8.99 if you do not cancel within the first year. $8.99 is cheaper than leading registrars such as GoDaddy, and the fact that the promotion offers you a FREE domain for one year, there is absolutely nothing to lose. Are you calling this a scam because people spent money on their domain name and hate the level of service provided? This promotion is free and free should always be taken advantage of.

That said if you did like this feel free to rep me or send me a donation

Thanks a lot and enjoy

I haven't actually done this yet. I'm using a free forum host so i may do this soon

I know you can use the same paypal account but i'm not sure about any other details

I found this question:
Q: So the more you order with 1 paypal account, does it open new+multiple billing agreements with the PayPal account or add to the existing one?
A: New billing agreements. But the terms of each agreement have no charges.
 
I have signed up but have not received an email or anything. But it seems like a great publicity boost for 1and1. 🙂

EDIT: Just got my email and my domain is pending approval. No idea how long that'll take.
 
It works fine in the USA IF you have a paypal with a credit card (doesn't have to be verified)
