Hey!

Me and my Friend a making a site and have chose 1and1 for a domain (they were only $5.99) and A Small Orange hosting - has anyone had experiences good/bad with these companies before I buy?

Well, there certainly is a lot of information out there about this: http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en...22+review&meta=

If you ever plan to sell your site/domain stay far away from 1and1. Internal transfers to another 1and1 account, and transfers to another registrar are nearly impossible. And forget about getting decent tech support from them. They're cheap, but there's a reason. Maybe other people have slightly better experiences with them, but I've have a bad one, and so have many others, from what I've read.
