NEVER Use 1and1 to Register Domains or Host Your Websites No Matter What Google Says

Today I was looking at some documentation from Google about using a custom domain name to link to a Blogger blog.  I almost puked ...

They said that the first step was to buy a custom domain.  OK so far - I already have too many ...  Then came the kick in the stomach - they gave some options as far as domain registrars to use - and had the short-sightedness to include 1and1.com as an option.  (They also included GoDaddy which also sucks, but don't get me started on that).

PLEASE for your own sake, do not take Google's advice on this.  If you do use 1and1.com (or GoDaddy) you are doing so at your own risk - and peril.
