I have my domain name registered with GoDaddy and want to continue to do so.
I want to change the hosting of the website to 1and1. I pointed the A host of
GoDaddy to 1and1 but get a “DNS incomplete” at 1and1. What else do i need to change at GoDaddy to change the hosting of website only.
I pointed the A host of GoDaddy to 1and1
1and1 has a weird rule that basically means you have to change nameservers for your domain to the ones they have provided. You can’t just use the A record to point the domain to their server. Highly atypical approach, but there you have it. 
I believe in this case you need to keep default name servers to have that working.
Honestly, I have heard that 1and1 hosting is crap. I would suggest hosting your site somewhere else like hostgator or fatcow. You should just have to point your DNS.

I have thought to change webhosting

In my experience Hostgator and 1and1 are both similarly good, with fast, stable servers. Fatcow is slow, very slow. Scripts take as much as 10 times longer to run there. Definitely not good.
