They don't provide a push at all. You would have to transfer your domain to another registrar.
That's lousy.

that's a weird one:
Please note: The services at 1and1.com are only available to residents of the U.S. and Canada
whats up with that???
I just applied for their .co.uk web-site, and they responded that I need to be a UK resident, so I assume that the .com site needs the same in US. Here is their explanation:
Thank you for contacting us.
Customers need a UK address with a valid UK postcode (equivalent to zip code in USA and Canada) in order to sign up. Also it needs to be a street address not a PO box. This therefore means that 1and1 UK only cater to customers living in the United Kingdom and not from other european countries.
The reasons behind our actual strategy: "all business is local"
1. We do lots of local print marketing.
2. We want to focus on local competitors and the local pricing structure. 3. We want to offer local support.
But there are also other (smaller) issues that prevent us from offering international:
1. We always ship software to our customers.
2. Handling of credit card fraud. (Address Check, going after not paying customers) You have to be far more restrictive if you offer "worldwide" in comparison to one certain country.
