All United Internet companies are scammy.
Once had to deal with a mail hosting company. Lousy service, staff were
clueless.
Turns out to be Untied Internet.

I also had a bad experience with 1 and 1, but not with site hacking.
When I tried to transfer my domain name to a different registrar, the
offshore people I talked to dragged their feet, promising everything
but delivering nothing. They had all kinds of excuses for not
releasing the domain name. It took several weeks to accomplish it.
They were very unprofessional and for their size, surprisingly seemed
like a small mom and pop company, with no established procedures in place.

Other than using Admin tools and removing references to
Joomla, any suggestions to securing the sites better?
Having used 1&1 in the past, and having sites hacked when using
them, I changed to a different host and most of my security issues
when away. I now host my own sites on servers that I build and
stop most exploits long before they even get to the website. Any
good host will do that too.
Make sure all _*extensions*_ are up to date, not listed at
http://docs.joomla.org/Vulnerable_Extensions_List and passwords
are strong. I know that /administrator on my servers get hit with
dictionary attacks
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dictionary_attack> 100's of times a
day and using Admin Tools secret URL helps with that.
But, your host needs to be doing something better to prevent this
behavior before it gets to your site.
Hope that helps!
Best,
