I host my wordpress blog on my 1and1 hosting account. With new releases of wordpress, the automatic core update didn’t work as expected. It would freeze on the way. The workaround:

WordPress Upgrade script needs php5 for functioning. By default, .php extension is parsed with php4 engine in 1and1 webhosting. Add this line to your .htaccess file located at your wordpress directory.

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

And that would work quite fine.
