Domain Registration
1and1 Group acts directly as registrar for all domains offered. No third party is involved; only the registry itself. They offer domain names at fairly inexpensive prices, but a user is recommended to read the fine print to alert oneself to the strict set of guidelines involved in processing of payments, domain names being set to \"Auto Renew\", and offers such as the \'up to 5 subdomains free\' offer, which may be free not for each domain name but for the entire account.
