1&1′s parent company, United Internet, became one of the first web companies to go public. They provided internet services predominantly in Europe. In the late 90′s they added domain registration. They first provided email services and after the domains they moved into hosting as well.

1 & 1 Registrar
1&1 provides services to over 8 million customers. In total there have been over 10 million domains registered through them. The company is large, having over 3,500 employees and 250 developers. They focus on not just domain registration but also affordable web services.

Register has been around since the beginning of domain registration. Having been a registrar for over 10 years they have millions of domains under their management. At one time Register.com had gone public and was a publicly traded stock. However in the mid-90′s they decided to go private. They then won a customer service award as well as multiple other awards. They received an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau.
