The easy and quick option is in fact Limeservice. I have never used them, but as it is run by Carsten, the project leader, I assume it is as stable as Limesurvey hosting gets. Pricing sounds reasonable as well. But as I said, no personal experience.
I am running my installation on a VPS (Virtual private server) which gives you a lot more freedom, but usually requires a little bit more knowledge. Mine is managed, so I have actually someone who gives support. Thus it is slightly more expensive.
I haven't used 1and1 for a while, but back then it wasn't the best choice. For simple and small surveys and only a few respondents most PHP/Mysql hosts work. But when the survey is bigger and you have more participants, it is good to have some power on the server. Shared hosting has always limits there.
So if you are really under time pressure, I would go for the Limeservice option, because you should be up and running in no time. If you have a little more time you can do some tests. I have run Limesurvey succesfully on Allinkl.com shared webspace before, but the survey wasn't too big and the were not too many respondents (maybe 200 or so).
