why are some countries missing in 1 & 1 (https://www.1and1.com/) list?

I was shopping a domain from 1 & 1 but in the first step of this process you need to choose your country which I noticed I could not find Malaysia, then I noticed Singapore is also not there and maybe a few other countries as well. Why is it?

Yes, Indonesia is not listed too
If they listed Indonesia, I still won't buy anything from them.
Some of the reason, they don't want to get fraud problem from Asian people
While the people from those listed countries worry about shady practices by 1&1, 1&1 seems to worry about people from some countries. Encouraging...
Nah, they're just having a hard time selling those nonpayment list to collection agencies.
I don't mean to offend anybody here, but some of the terms like "Try it for Free", "Save Up to $xxx*" are interpreted differently.
To me "Try it for Free" means I can try it even I have no intention to buy it.
In 1and1.com perspective, "Try it for Free" means only people that has an intention to buy, would try it.
Many Asian think the way I think. If it said it is for free, then it really is for free.
Just like when you are taking food taster in a mall.
Probably because they couldn't find repayment agencies in those countries lol
I hope you closed the page.
