It is owned by German internet company United Internet, with Robert Hoffmann as its CEO.

History of 1and1
In 1988, German company 1&1 was made responsible for the marketing of a T-Com business, owned by T-Mobile. This company was called BTX but was promptly renamed T-Online. Ten years later, the parent company of 1&1, United Internet, launched an IPO and went public. This enabled them to generate some $60 million in funds. That same year, Puretec was introduced in Europe, which was a web hosting product for consumers.
The company quickly expanded and opened offices in the United Kingdom in 2000. Three years later, it started to accept its first direct customers from the US.
