An Innovative Spirit

Twelve years ago 1&1 started marketing the then new technology of online and telecommunication products. Before the Internet had evolved to a recognised level, 1&1 were powering ahead, winning a million subscribers to an early online service specialised for small offices, home-based users, entrepreneurs and small to medium-sized companies. Even in those early days, interactive features such as chat and online banking were offered. That was just the beginning.

Solid Foundations

From those exciting origins, 1&1 was in an ideal position to expand into flexible and affordable flat-rate solutions for small offices, home-based users, entrepreneurs and small to medium-sized companies. Built upon solid foundations, 1&1 have since lived through every stage of the shift towards global communications. 1&1's decision to go public in 1998 was a major success, with the share price tripling within hours of release. Shareholders are now enjoying an excellent return on their investments.
