This post is for users that utilize 1and1 web hosting.
Recently I started having issues with my site where some blocks and plugins that used the main update database did not work correctly. 1and1 is in a transition phase where they are changing names to 1&1IONOS and db and ftp address locations also. The old paths are not supposed to be changed or updated unless you renew there contracts (which I did not) but some customers (in a maintenance update) about a week ago had folders and files with corrupted permissions which of course caused issues. Some Database files where moved to new servers at: dbNAME.hosting-data.io
from: dbNAME.db.1and1.com
If you've had a problem, the only way to fix this is call there customer service number to resolve this. I hope you all have been keeping backups.

Re: 1and1 host
Andy,
I know you are coming up for renewal as well.
see viewtopic.php?f=52&t=1597&p=7719#p7719
though if I know you you have already seen it.
Database is domain hosted, not group hosted.

Re: 1and1 host
Hi again Tom.
Just letting you know your site is really quick. Just pops up in your face quick. Checking mine on 1and1 and paying a premium on speed it's not close.
I called host your new host and they did not offer me the $84.50 for 3 years. Am guessing you got in at just the right promotion. Anyway... I'll be moving my site there on the 28th or 29th to give the new dns a few days to catch up. I do like the fact that one of there data centers are in Dallas which should quicken it for me at least. See ya and talk later.
