I want to talk about Security and Hosting by 1 and 1.
I recently tried to redeem PPC vouchers that I was promised when signing up for 1 and 1. 1and1's voucher request process is as follows:
1. Call the customer service number.
2. Ask for the voucher codes.
3. Tell the customer service agent your personal inforation
- Account number
- Full name
- Last four digits of the billing credit card
- Your password
I am currently working on a commercial site using drupal 5. I can't say too much about it (NDAs!) but the idea is to have forums, blogs, news stories, and advertising. Lots of advertising. The eventual aim is hundreds of thousands of page impressions every month, hopefully millions.

I'm looking to move out from the Dreamhost hell. My Wordpress sites and my phpBB forums have been taking more than 10 seconds to load a single page for more than a month now, read the blingy cluster horror tales in their blog if you want details.
I currently host my site (http://www.millwoodonline.co.uk/) on part of a server which a friend rents from 1&1. Please prove me wrong but it seems to be running very slow.
I want something faster, but don't want to play anymore than £30, and need to be able to run about 10 sites.
