Drupal 6 on 1and1.com
I successfully installed Drupal 6 today on a 1and1.com shared hosting plan.
I created the MySQL db (mySQL Version 5) and uploaded the files for the site to a folder that was alone on a subdomain.
I hit the site, the first step asked me to select a language. The next screen gave me an error saying that register_globals needed to be disabled.
I checked .htaccess in the root and for php 5 register_globals was set to 0.
After trying a handful of different things, all I needed to do was create a file called php.ini and add it to the root of the site. It only has 1 line of text:
register_globals = off
I found this on a Drupal.org comment here.
hopefully this saves at least one other person some grief.
2008.03.03 UPDATE: I kept running out of memory so I added the following line to php.ini:
memory_limit = 40M
I don't have a good reason to pick 40M, it seems to be running fine now though.

Consider this one person you've saved from some grief. Thanks!
One minor addition to this in case anyone else runs into this... if you're installing drupal on a subdirectory of your main 1and1 account (say, if you're running multiple sites from one 1and1 account), the php.ini needs to be in the drupal directory, not the root of the whole account.
