I have contacted my bank about it, but I started to think, since it looked like an international charge, & it has come 3 days after my transfer request, on 8-9-2012, (I did the transfer request on 8-6-2012), I thought there could there be a connection?, since I have been informed that 1&1 is reputed to be bad here. I would not have posted about this otherwise, if not for my transfer from this company.

the charge was for $130.00, from some unrecognizable entity, with other international fees as well. Could this be from 1&1? I have not made any single purchases on 8-9-2012 for $130.00, I know that.

What is the name of "some unrecognizable entity" as shown on your credit card bill? 1&1 is a UK-run German-owned company, but the USA 1&1 charges $USD and from their USA address. I doubt it's related, but let's double-check against the name. (Also remember that Google is your friend, when it comes to researching strange charges and telephone numbers.)

This is the name; (AGZAKHANA.COM GIZA -12E 08-07-12 221726)

I did a Google search of this, & got listings & directories search engine of doctors in Egypt. I don't think this is 1&1 now, from what I learned of them, they are not in Egypt. I have never purchased anything from the middle east let alone Egypt, I have bought a couple things from the UK, the rest I shop from America. I do not understand how my credit card has been used by an Egyptian entity. I have never given my credit/ATM debit card to anybody.

You're a victim of fraud. Contact your credit card company ASAP and report the card as compromised. Dispute the charge, and have the account closed. (And a new account will take its place.)

That is unrelated to your 1&1 website/domain related issues.
