I've been very happy with 1&1 but I only use them as a Domain Registrar.
In fact, I recently transferred a few of my domains from GoDaddy to them.
I've used two hosting providers in the past few years. AceNet
(
www.ace-host.net) and Site5 (
http://www.site5.com/in.php?id=23734 -
pardon the plug ;> ). I've been with the latter now for almost a year
and I've been quite pleased with them (I wasn't too happy with the former).
In addition to their regular (excellent) support they also have a great
peer-to-peer support forum. I've picked up a lot of tips from other
users. And last but not least, they are dirt cheap.
I had considered 181 for hosting but I don't like the fact that they
don't have "point and click" installation for popular stuff like
WordPress, Gallery and so forth). But most of all, I prefer to have my
Domain registrar separate from my hosting provider.
But when it comes to dirt cheap private domains, they are very good.
Just my $.02
