- Janak Mistry, netbooster.co.uk

"Our business benefited a lot after our moving to 1&1's Managed Server III, where we are provided our own dedicated server, at the same time still enjoying the reliable, maintenance-free service of a shared hosting site. Above all this 1&1 also provides us the space needed for our high resolution print samples and graphics files."
