I too found that 1&1 fell at the first hurdle when I contemplated using
them.  The person I spoke to didn't seem to understand that it was
possible for them to host a website for me (which was the service that
they were advertising) without also taking control of my domain name.
This lack of clue on the part of their staff made me very disinclined to
use them.
