What do you like best about IONOS 1&1 Domains and hosting?

The affordability. Ionos is one of the cheapest website hosts I know of and you get a decent amount of web space for what you pay for. You also have a 'personal consultant' with Ionos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IONOS 1&1 Domains and hosting?

How complicated they make building a website from the start of the purchase of a domain. They do not make the sign up simple (especially if you just want a normal Wordpress site) and upsell everything at every opportunity. The support is ok, but you can only email unless you want a call back between 10pm and 5.30am in Australia. Their support number does NOT work in Australia. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IONOS 1&1 Domains and hosting solving and how is that benefiting you?

The only problem Ionos solves for me is their affordability. Fortunately I did receive a reply to an email asking for help within 24 hours which was better than nothing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about IONOS 1&1 Domains and hosting?

IONOS has a decent-looking user interface, and the standard domain tools are easy to use. They specifically make subdomains easier than most registrars with an option to click and add one rather than doing it via DNS only. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IONOS 1&1 Domains and hosting?

IONOS is very slow compared to premier domain registrars, such as GoDaddy. In addition, the customer support at IONOS is average, at best. The DNS propagation is also much slower than GoDaddy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IONOS 1&1 Domains and hosting solving and how is that benefiting you?

IONOS makes owning a domain relatively inexpensive, although they have started to add on a lot of extra products lately for additional fees, just like the other domain registrars. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about IONOS 1&1 Domains and hosting?

The intro plan was extremely competitively priced. The best option I thought, was being able to login to my WordPress admin panel from the Ionos dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IONOS 1&1 Domains and hosting?

They constantly reached out to upsell additional services that weren't needed. They wanted to sell things like SEO services and consultations and were pretty pushy about it. They are a vendor that starts with a good intro price and significantly increases your fee the next year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IONOS 1&1 Domains and hosting solving and how is that benefiting you?

None really, there are a ton of other vendors that do the same service at the same or better quality that don't try to upsell every month. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about IONOS 1&1 Domains and hosting?

Nothing. They are a predatory company with deceptive practices that take advantage of people by making things overly complex. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IONOS 1&1 Domains and hosting?

IONOS engages in deceptive and predatory business practices in terms of transparency for cancellation and billing. They have billed me for things that I didn't request or sign up for, and when I found another provider, they billed me for another year, because they didn't send out a renewal notice, nor did they indicate that contract cancellation was required. You're better to work with a company you can trust. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering IONOS 1&1 Domains and hosting:

Don't do it! Go with a company you can trust. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IONOS 1&1 Domains and hosting solving and how is that benefiting you?

They are overpriced relative to what else is out there, the system is cumbersome and difficult to use, and they charge you for PHP support that you didn't sign up for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can install my website easily, I work with the basic plan, and the result I have obtained is perfect for what I am looking for, it has a variety of very good templates, you can choose the one you like the most, it is very easy to use I love it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IONOS 1&1 Domains and hosting?

I wouldn't say I like it when the page falls a lot, this has annoyed my clients, and its loading speed is very slow, this affects a lot, they should take these problems into account and solve them to give an excellent service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering IONOS 1&1 Domains and hosting:

If you are looking for something cheap and you are starting, I recommend it, but if you want something more efficient and you have how to pay for it, you can look for another hosting provider since it has had many problems lately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IONOS 1&1 Domains and hosting solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am starting with a new project, and I was able to install my website without any problem, it is a good option since it has an accessible price and they have a wide variety of products, it serves me for what I need, problem solved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about IONOS 1&1 Domains and hosting?

I transfered my domain from another company (Hostgator). What I like the most about IONOS is that I get privacy by default (and at no extra cost), so my personal details are not exposed to the public. I use a wildcard SSL certificate (got it for free with hosting), which is also a big upgrade with free certificates from other hosting providers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IONOS 1&1 Domains and hosting?

Nothing so far. I'm very happy with IONOS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IONOS 1&1 Domains and hosting solving and how is that benefiting you?

My previous "free" SSL was not secure and my website always displayed warnings that drove visitors away. Using IONOS' certificate, my site always shows as secure (plus, I'm saving 70 USD/year). Managing my domain works like every other provider (I can create subdomains, buy new domains at discount prices for the first year, and manage DNS records), the only real advantage I see with my previous provider is that I get domain privacy for free.
