They provide the best hosting and Domain solutions. To check their services, they provide you with a free domain and hosting for only 6$ for the first year, which you can cancel later if you don't like their services.

"Great hosting provider."
What do you like best about IONOS?

I have been with IONOS for just over a year now, and so far, I haven't faced any issues. The customer service team has helped resolve any problems quickly, and they're always available.

What do you dislike about IONOS?

All my services are with IONOS currently; however, the only thing which I am missing is a dedicated server. I feel that their servers are pretty high compared to other sites (Namecheap).

What problems is IONOS solving and how is that benefiting you?

I haven't faced any problems as of yet with IONOS. Their customer service is excellent, very helpful!

"Simple to use drag and drop website builder + hosting"
What do you like best about IONOS?

I love how easy it is to get a website up and running with ionos plus the hosting is seamlessly easy! We use it for WordPress hosting as well for the website www.saladkit.ca

What do you dislike about IONOS?

The website builder lacks some advanced features in terms of editing. Plus the wordpress hosting is sort of difficult to set up.

What problems is IONOS solving and how is that benefiting you?

To get a business website up and running in no time, and to see it hosted on a free domain name within minutes is great to see!

"Amazing Web Host"
What do you like best about IONOS?

I like the professional look and feel of the site. I used to be a 1on1.com customer and I like that they have created better deals and packages. I am interested in trying their vps hosting next. They have some unlimited features now on their basic packages. I paid $1 and I got a domain and webhosting package. That is unbeatable. I also like that I got a free Wildcard SSL certificate that goes with it. That's amazing!

What do you dislike about IONOS?

Well the package that I have which is a Managed Wordpress package. I shouldn't have chose that because I wanted to be able to use Joomla and maybe woo commerce on some subdomains. But it's cool I can always upgrade the package. I also don't like that I got 1 free email account.

What problems is IONOS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Well I'm solving a long term bad press issue on a celebrity. He has been getting bad press for almost 20years so I've created a website that's in his favor. I'm also solving an issue with biased mainstream platforms like youtube, google, twitter sites which all come from Google Servers. I'm glad this is hosted in Europe or I may have had some interference.

"IONOS the new face of 1&1"
What do you like best about IONOS?

During my whole life, I have been using multiple Host Services when I see this change on 1&1 I got scared because I really love it as is and was a little bit worried about the migration process or the possible of losing information, who knows what could happen!. Nowadays I'm still surprised because all my data stay untouchable, the service not only changes his face the performance improves, the attention it's even better, competitive prices and the reliable service to which you were accustomed. They have a great WebMail Client so you can access anytime anywhere with a responsive design that works perfect on mobiles and if you need more space they can bring you more if needed.

What do you dislike about IONOS?

This is not a dislike as could sound, I have a little issue with an email overquoted and I have to pay an additional amount to get more space, up to this point all right but my credit card expires and the charge of the email additional space didn't pass and all the account was blocked even the regular email current in payment. I add the new credit card and have to call the support center to get the things working again, by the way, they have a great customer service center so don't feel overwhelmed when you have an issue.

What problems is IONOS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Domain registration, Email Hosting, and WebMai Services.

"Best hosting company I have dealt with"
What do you like best about IONOS?

They do everything I need and support is amazing. I even had one time where I had a wordpress install corrupt on me after putting a ton of work into it and before setting up the backup. They were able to send me a previous restore point and fixed everything in minutes. I can not say enough good about this company.

What do you dislike about IONOS?

There is very little to dislike. I would like an easy way to swap my US account to the Canadian site. The Canadian site did not exist when I started with them.

What problems is IONOS solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use this for everything I need as far as website and domains are concerned.

"IONOS: Free $100 Credit For Cloud Servers"
What do you like best about IONOS?

I love the free credit that they offer at IONOS for trying their Cloud Server packages. I greatly like the flexible cloud server package, which enables you to upgrade and downgrade your server, pending upon your needs, at anytime. I love their other products like domain names, SSL certificates and office tools. Amazing customer support.

What do you dislike about IONOS?

Billing option are rigid. Sometimes they do charge for items you have decided not to renew.

What problems is IONOS solving and how is that benefiting you?

We had a great online presence thanks to IONOS.

"IONOS: The Best Dedicated Support For Cloud Hosting"
What do you like best about IONOS?

IONOS is a one stop-shop for any Internet user. You may purchase a domain, choose your hosting package, get email services and secure everything with SSL, while using Office apps. I love the fact that a Cloud Server can be deployed within seconds. Their support is simply amazing be it via phone or email: they will not hesitate to go the extra-mile and access your server (prior authorization) for any troubleshooting. Their pricing is the thing that I love the most. They have the lowest pricing on the market at this moment. They also offer free trial credits up to $100 or 1 month free for their Cloud Server packages.

What do you dislike about IONOS?

Multiple contracts are charged all at once. I would really appreciate that billing is separate for each. KYC verification, for new customers, sometimes takes too long (1-3 days).

What problems is IONOS solving and how is that benefiting you?

IONOS enabled us to have a professional online presence at a very minimal cost.

"IONOS: The Ideal Solution For Cloud Hosting"
What do you like best about IONOS?

I love the fact that you can create multiple contracts either for different products or projects. Their Cloud Hosting package pricing is the lowest on the market right now. You may also register a new domain name at a very low cost. Best of all, I love their support. They will not hesitate to step in and fix any issue you might experience with your server

What do you dislike about IONOS?

Their billing features charge all your contracts at once. This could be an issue, if you want to settle for just one contract at this time.

What problems is IONOS solving and how is that benefiting you?

IONOS offered us a complete solution for web hosting and helped us made considerable benefits thanks to their low pricing.

I bougth a lot of domains in 1&1 and they have the best prices in the market. They offer almost all types of domains. You can choose to pay yearly or monthly. They offer the option to buy one year without automatic renovation. I had problems with another domain providers because they kept charging afterthe domain was canceled but I havent had issues with 1&1 at all

What do you dislike about IONOS?

The only issue I had was that they took 1 day to respond to my request but everything else was fine

What problems is IONOS solving and how is that benefiting you?

I bougth a lot of domains for projects , for clients and for my personal use.

"1&1 Website Hosting and Domain: Perfect for the Angelos Mission Ensemble!"
What do you like best about IONOS?

At AME, we love the simple domain name and website hosting for our youth group. We needed a domain and site to portray AMEetings, and 1&1 was the cheapest and fastest solution to do so. We like how the site gives our group an easy way to express what we do. It also allows people to sign up fast, logging into a domain name that they are likely to remember for years to come. It speaks better than any Facebook page could.

What do you dislike about IONOS?

We dislike how the static site could not be viewed properly once uploaded; we had to upload our static site onto Netlify and make a meta-redirect HTML page so that people who log onto our youth group page, www.ameetings.club, would be able to view the site properly. We believe that the reason why the site could not be viewed properly once uploaded is that there was a complicated script that was detected as malware when really it wasn't.

What problems is IONOS solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are able to attract more people for our youth group using our website hosted on 1&1, and we are also able to increase our online presence with the simple domain provided by 1&1.

"Great for hosting my Wordpress site"
What do you like best about IONOS?

I love how easy the hosting is. I signed up for auto updates because I don't have time to deal with that, so it updates my site automatically every time wordpress has an update. So far, the 1&1 portal has been easy to navigate and find what I need.

What do you dislike about IONOS?

I haven't really found anything that I dislike about this hosting company, so far. I have been using them for a few months and have been happy with them.

What problems is IONOS solving and how is that benefiting you?

I own a photography business so having a website is pretty important. I knew I wanted to use Wordpress.org because of the great SEO, but I didn't want to spend too much on hosting. After reading a ton of articles comparing different hosting options, I went with 1&1 because they had everything I needed and their price was super reasonable. The free portfolio website I used to have with Adobe Portfolio was not great in the SEO department, and I needed better SEO. I also couldn't customize it the way I wanted to. Wordpress is fully customizable and has the best SEO.

"The best host I have ever used."
What do you like best about IONOS?

1&1 is stable, ready to help, and easy to use! I have used them since around 2004 and I can remember only one time that there was a significant outage-and that was a regional issue. Any time I have needed to talk to anyone they are friendly and ready to help. Any service I have ever needed is available and easy to set up.

What do you dislike about IONOS?

There are two things I wish 1&1 offered. 1. The ability to use free security certificates (currently you have to get your ssl through them, but at least now your first one is free). 2. I wish they did podcast hosting. I'd rather pay them to host my podcasts than an additional company.

What problems is IONOS solving and how is that benefiting you?

I need a registrar and host for about ten websites. 1&1 has been dependable and easy to use.

"Easy to use"
What do you like best about IONOS?

Simple interface. Easy to manage accounts. Most users can manage the basics without technical support.

What do you dislike about IONOS?

The email security configuration can be a bit confusing for users. The options should provide the user with a description so easy decisions can be made.

What problems is IONOS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Users needed an email domain and ability to manage with limited IT knowledge. Realized that the above average person can easily do things such as manage accounts, change passwords and so on. This proves cost effective for a start up company.

"1&1"
What do you like best about IONOS?

Great promos on domain names. I currently have 5 domains registered with 1&1. You can't beat it. It seems that 1&1 have upgraded the way they do business; the registration process is easy and hosting plans are competitive and fast.

What do you dislike about IONOS?

All domain name and hosting provider have something they can improve. The Con is that 1&1 has a habit of making super-technical features easy to find and the best options for non-tech users difficult to find.

What problems is IONOS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Domain registration have never been more affordable and available, 1&1 have filled that gap like Godaddy offering $1 - Free domain registration.

Their website interface is easy to understand and navigate even for a new user. I have found their customer service and support to be very helpful and they resolve issues quickly and efficiently.

"Not my registrar of choice but great support"
What do you like best about IONOS?

I don't use 1 and 1 as my domain registrar of choice but have worked with a lot on domain transfers. There support has been great fast and courteous every time I have called them. You can tell a lot about a company with how they treat you when you leave. If I wasn't so vested in another registrar they would be my next choice.

"Domain Reg And Hosting Weren't This Much Easy Before."
What do you like best about IONOS?

IONOS 1&1 Domains and Hosting has been the best choice since we started using it. They offer incredible bundles for startups, excellent pricing, and free 1st-year domain registration.

What do you dislike about IONOS?

I do not understand why they do not upgrade their user interface, as it looks like ancient tech. Rest assured, and they have also consistently provided complete support for web development tools.

What problems is IONOS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Their pricing is very compelling as I tried to compare with other providers. Then it also gives me complete tools to support website projects and provide excellent server specifications.
