    1and1 charged me for name.. cant login.. still says available

    I bought two domain names only from 1and1 12hrs ago. All I got at the end of the process is "we will send your login and account info via email.".
    so 1/2 a day goes by and no email, and their site still shows that my domain name can still be purchased. They had me create a password at checkout (which doesn't work). This was my first time trying to buy a domain name for fun, but now looking around; people say 1and1 is the worst and now I'm scarred if I poke and prod that I will get harassed by them.

    It was only $9.98 for both. I guess ill just have to eat that $9.98 as a learning experience.
    Should I just go to another registrar like namecheap or godaddy and try buying it again just to be sure? Or will this cause more issues? (I know its only been 12 hours)

    Generally speaking, purchasing a domain name is instant.
    Maybe 1and1 do a manual fraud check.

    If you are willing to possibly lose the $9.98, I would suggest registering the names from someone else.

    Ill try it and see what happens.

    What registrar do you guys recommend? I'm thinking namecheap or godaddy
    I hear network solutions has best customer service but lots of restrictions and high prices.

    1and1 scam

    I just logged into my bank and the 1and1 transaction is on there. I just went to ******** and typed in the domain name that I paid for at 1and1 and it paid ******** to get it registered. It registered within seconds and the whois reflected this.

    So I wonder what I can do about 1and1 charging me and Im not even in their system, like it never happened!
    But they sure as hell processed my bank debit card fast.
