Offers private domain registration, 1GB email account and a starter page, all for free.

1&1 Internet, Inc., an ICANN accredited registrar, today announced that it will increase the amount and variety of standard features available with its domain registration packages, without raising prices.

It is registering domains for $5.99/yr, offering features such as private domain registration, a 1GB email account and a starter page, all for free. The value-added domain packages will be a standard offering and not a limited time promotion.

Domain registrations include safety and technical services such as a waived ICANN fee, free DNS management, domain forwarding, domain locking, 200 email aliases and 24/7 toll-free technical support. The packages also incorporate marketing features like Hello Engines!, which enables a web site to be listed with search engines such as Google and Ranking Toolbox.

"We want to change the domain registration market the way we changed the Web hosting market - with competitive pricing and inclusive packages. We're offering a lot of things that most other companies charge extra for, because we firmly believe in providing the most value for the money," said 1&1 Chairman of the Board, Andreas Gauger.
