1and1 hosting fun

June 25th, 2009 currentlyOffline

Had a bit of fun trying to work it out why any page any link on my website suddenly had stopped working. Doesn’t matter where I click, doesn’t matter what I’m putting into address field in my browser – it shows content of the home page. Website wasn’t broken(always a good thing), Apache error log empty. No changes in last couple of weeks. Weird!

After spending a couple beer pints of time, I’ve found that people at 1and1 have changed something on their side without letting me know…

To be able to have URLs I want… Ok, not that I care about URL’s much, to make search engines happy mostly I’m using this trick for custom URL’s with Zend Framework And the reason why it stopped working is that 1and1 is not giving you $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] any more it just doesn’t exists any more. Had to use other members of $_SERVER

Great

Just found a hosting provider with this messageon their home page

“Google Webmaster Tools Integrated in all plans” !

Would you trust hosting provider with this message on their home page?

I woul’d not be surprised one day to find a hosting provider with promo message “HTML support integrated in all plans”

1&1 thinks that chrome is an old browser

Tried to open 1&1 control panel from Google Chrome and here you go Event opened preferences to check if i’m using most up to date version.

Do you take this message seriously and install IE instead as they are recomending?
