Top Rated IONOS 1&1 Domains and hosting Alternatives
1&1 has great customer support to help us through technical issues. When we faced malware with some of our websites, 1&1 was surprising very knowledgeable about possible causes and solutions. Instead of search around online for solutions, we were able to receive direct answers or at least be lead in the right direction by talking to 1&1's support team. About the 1&1's service offerings, they offer generous amounts of bandwidth, server space and account features for relatively low prices. They have first-year domain registrations deals that are far below the price of many of its major competitors. Our hosting account has extensive administrative tools that allow us to effective manage our web files and domain names. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The second-year and beyond pricing for domain name registration jumps up quite a bit. Even though customer support can be helpful, using 1&1 to host your websites tends to require more technical knowledge compared to pre-built website platforms like Wix and Weebly. Customer support will probably not be able to help you through all malware infections, so you face more of a risk when creating websites in this type of hosting environment.

IONOS was once the best place to go for web hosting and services. They had the best customer support, the best products, the best pricing. This is supposed to be about what I like best about IONOS. The answer:
Nothing. Nothing at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
IONOS customer service is beyond useless. Our company purchased Microsoft 365 through IONOS. We immediately began having issues. It has not worked correctly once in the entire time we've had it. Contacting IONOS support, they said we have to contact Microsoft. They gave us the number. Calling that number pushes us to a website, which in turn tells us we have to use IONOS support since we purchased it through IONOS. And it gives us the IONOS support number. For 3 weeks, I've been calling about 2FA errors. Today, I spent five hours on the phone. Three times, IONOS insisted I contact Microsoft. I was even told what I had just experienced had not happened. I asked for the call to be escalated to a supervisor. One agent flat out refused. Two others insisted supervisors were not available.
Our 2FA still is not working, and here is the best part: They kept insisting I had to log into the global administrator account to fix the problem. I told them, repeatedly, over...and over...and over...again I *was* logged into the global administrator account. When, at last, the agent accepted I was logged into the GAA, she then said "Now disabled 2FA." Um...where? How? What do I click on. "You just click on it to disable it."
They are beyond useless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing positive that I can think of right now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We are a VPS client and have several VPS servers with them. One of our servers have gone down since more than 48 hours now. We reported it hours after we saw that we can not connect to the server in any way. They said it's a networking issue on their end. 48+ hours since then, they have not yet fixed it. Three of our main websites (one SAAS platform) is down due to this. Already called more than 10 times. They can't or do not want to fix it. Either way makes IONOS unreliable to do business.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I used their service as a registrar since 1&1. It was good at the beginning Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
On January 25, 2022 I received a notice that my account is suspended "Due to international sanctions against Russia and the Russian-occupied territories in Ukraine"
I am Ukrainian. Our country is fighting for our freedom against a brutal russian invasion. And instead of the support - they blocked my domain and my business, which help my family to survive.
The only option they suggested is to ask for the authorization code to transfer domain. I did that on January 26 but I still don't have anything. Their support is useless, they send me from one to another and every time asking me to provide the same information like domain name, which I obviously provided at least three times. Taking into account a several days response for every email we have over two weeks of delay.
My business stopped. I can't operate my business and feed my family. I also lose business because of SEO penalties etc... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
