Shared Hosting
One can opt for Linux or Microsoft technology while choosing a 1&1 shared hosting package. 1&1 have two distinct methods of making sites available on the Internet. The first is by using the Website creator service (this is suitable for novices) which will automatically generate and place a website on your web space according to your requirements. The other is to manually upload a site made by yourself onto your web space. The most usual process of doing this is through FTP (File Transfer Protocol) where by using a suitable FTP client, you transfer the files from your local space (i.e. your hard disk) onto the 1&1 web space, although the FTP transfer speed may become quite slow when you have a lot of content to upload
