1and1 Hosting now offering mailing lists and accepting Paypal!

You might know that I'm a big fan of 1and1 hosting for several reasons. They're not only incredibly cheap, but they offer more features and bonuses than any other host I've ever seen. Perhaps that's why they're the largest web host in the world (that also reassures me that they're not going to disappear overnight).

If you've read my past reviews of them, you'd know that they offer hundreds of dollars in pay-per-click advertising credits for free, free domain names, hundreds of dollars worth of software (and good software, like GoLive for website editing, which normally costs a few hundred alone -- believe me, I paid a few hundred for it before knowing about this!), etc..

Whether you're going for shared hosting or a dedicated server, I've never seen their offers beat by any host out there (and their support rocks too -- other hosts don't even offer support for VPS or dedicated servers).

Now that I'm done bragging about them, I just wanted to announce that 1and1 is now accepting Paypal payments, which is big news for a lot of people who either only use Paypal or just prefer paying everything with their Paypal accounts.

On top of that, 1and1 hosting also announced that they've added a mailing list feature to their packages (for free). You can now have up to five separate mailing lists where you can put pre-made sign up forms on your websites, import e-mail addresses if you wish, and mail out your list as many times as you wish.

This is great news for those who don't want to drop a small fortune on autoresponders just yet, but who still want to take advantage of mailing lists. I still recommend GetResponse for marketers who are more serious about getting into autoresponders and mailing lists (it's really the best bet you can do), but I know that not everyone wants to spend that much right away or jump into it that much right off the bat.

So if you don't have a web host yet, or if you want to upgrade to a better one, I highly suggest checking out 1and1 Hosting right now (some of their plans are under $5 a month and still include a couple of free domain names, PPC credits, software, etc.). But if you want to have a killer combination of a host and an autoresponder, check out 1and1 and GetResponse together.
