My experience with Ionos is not friendly, but yes it was helpful for me. Helped me in every step so easily, but also was the reason of my problems.
Pros
I got so helpful customer services support from Ionos web hosting. The setup process is easy and effective, you can do almost everything without any problem. Even the main thing is, I really like the page load speed of Ionos, it's superb. I have used Ionos for both big and small websites, It was helpful but best suitable for big websites. A good thing about 1&1 is, they will give you a free domain for one year with a hosting package.
Cons
I can mention just one con about Ionos which is their server performance. They talk about the performance because it is the most important thing of a web server. But I didn't get satisfactory results from them for small websites. Shared hosting is terrible, website uptime is too poor and often shows 404 bad gateway. I didn't get these kinds of problems on the higher packages, but lower packages really bad.

They make things pretty easy, and over the course of a whole project you end up saving a ton of time which is exactly what I want so overall it's been a great experience.
Pros
IONOS has a ton of products, and since their mostly sold separately (or can be) you can mix and match according to say your business or DEV needs. I for one like to have a store where I can sell premium merch, but display the art side of my business on a beautiful WordPress.
Cons
Well I don't love them calling me at home. I'm on the IONOS website all the time tinkering with my domains or chatting up customers, you can hit me with a notification or something and I'll probably take a peak at it.

When I don't need anything or support it is fine. But good luck when you need help on anything...
Pros
The product overall is very easy to use, but the downfall is when you need help or support or have a question. That is where is goes downhill.
Cons
Support is horrible, I have been a customer for over 10 years and recently when having an issue with one of my domains - I have spent time on their chat support for hours only to be told to call, when you call - you get put on hold and the times when they don't hang up on you, they are of no help, other than escalating the case / issue, they are NO help and don't really care or have any urgency when you are dealing with you business domains.

At first it looked daunting to create my own site but it took no time at all to get the grips with the different features and create a cohesive website that does not look like a template site.
Pros
I particularly love the ease of creating a website with customised pages which incorporates my own brand colours, text and images. There is a large selection of widgets that I can effortlessly drag and drop onto a page from social buttons, text to HTML links to other apps.
Cons
There are a few areas of my website I'd like to customise more but the structure of the template won't allow this. It does not effect to users view of my site so it's not essential.

Horrible. My site was hacked. Customer service has no idea what they are doing. Just a horrible company. Even migrating my site away was a nightmare.
Pros
Nothing good to say about this company.
Cons
Their customer service laughed at me when I told them my site was down. He said I needed to log in to my account to access my control panel and websites I tried to tell him I wanted to check the website from a customers viewpoint, who won't be logging in and he was very condescending.
My site was hacked multiple times with porn and pa reading articles loaded overnight, despite the security SSL and other recommendations.

I have used it with several clients who only needed to have their site online and it has really worked very well
Pros
I have used several similar services that are often very complex. Ease of use for users with no system experience is extremely good
Cons
I think options are missing for advanced uses, as well as ways to modify settings at a low level. I think this is important to be able to enhance the service

The Merger Killed Their Billing System - Stay Away and Save Yourself the Headache

Ever since 1&1 and Ionos merged their billing system has taken a nosedive. We are locked out of our VPS contracts because they couldn't process payments through their customer panel properly. Since the billing issue occurred through their customer panel they sent a Paypal link. We immediately submitted payment and now they have to wait for the funds to transfer before their billing system automatically unlocks the contracts. None of their customer support team members [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] from the Philippines and USA were able to help. "It is the billing system's issue and there is no magic button to unlock the contact," is the go-to line they all had. Don't trust this company. They are officially a scam.
Pros
The VPS options are really convenient for technical users
Cons

It is easy to use with the wordpress websites. It helped me to save time and money. You are easy to integrate the domain name to their hosting or another hosting providers. When the first time i used their domain name, I liked it. It is great thing to use.
Pros
I like this website because it is an easy way to use. It helped for the online marketing with more profits. I think that it is better other providers. I also a web developer and I suggested IONOS for the projects that i did to my clients and they also are happy to use it. I tested lots of the domain name provider and I think that the product of IONOS is okay to use.
Cons
I think that the price of renew plan should decrease 30%. I feel that it is a little difficult to use this website on the mobile phone, i hope that it will be improved more in the future.

I never want to do business with 1&1 again. I've had ridiculously long hold times, insufficient help when I asked for it, and their retention department is almost as bad as cable companies. The only benefit is the low cost of hosting/maintaining. I would rather use any other web service.
Pros
The tools are easy to understand and the price is okay.
Cons
The interface feels very outdated, which means the sites look like from 2005, and customer service is an absolute mess

Pros
Extremely user-friendly website builder. It's incredibly straightforward and convenient to utilise this tool. A complete website can be created in only a few days. When you purchase a domain name from 1&1, you receive great services including emails, sub-domains, and email forwarders.
Cons
The price of their services climbs significantly after the first year. After developing your website on their platform, switching to a less expensive choice could be challenging. The websites I host with 1&1 generally load more slowly than the ones I host with other businesses, I've also noticed.

I am used to building WordPress websites for clients, but I had one reach out about INONS MyWebsite, and I decided to give it a try. I was thoroughly impressed by the ease of usage and the stunning end result! Now I'm wondering if I should update my own website with this program!
Pros
I really liked the ability to see the changes on the website in real-time and to be able to customize so many different aspects so quickly without the need for extraneous coding.
Cons
The software did stall a few times and I had to reload and sometimes log in again to continue working. Other than that, it was great!

Ruined my business
Reviewed on 2022/05/13
Pros
When it was 1&1, it was a good product, I had no concerns.
Cons
Ruined my business. 1&1 hosted my website for 10 years. It then moved to Ionos ownership and when my domain renewal arrived, I renewed and they changed my account from hosting to website builder. I lost everything and despite spending 10 hours+ on the phone, they were unable to help. It got to a point where they would eventually just cut my call off. From this, my business ceased trading.

1&1 is really easy to use and I can handle the constant spam emails and calls, but I know many would be annoyed at the lack of privacy.
Pros
Its very easy to use and very cheap compared to other websites. Setup is very simple and once its up there isn't much else to do to keep it running.
Cons
1&1 IONOS has a history of selling out your information to others, even if you opt in to their private WHOIS. I constantly get emails about web solutions from random companies (that tend to word things the same way, suspiciously) as well as phone calls claiming to be IONOs trying to sell more services.

I have used 1&1 MyWebsite for over 5 years now and it is one of the best decisions that I have made. It is very easy to make and keep up-to-date a website for my business. I make changes to the site weekly and it has never let me down.
Cons

Weak website builder, even weaker service
Reviewed on 2018/11/25
Pros
This is an intuitive WYSIWYG builder for the most part. It definitely has its limitations but it's simple enough for a beginner.
Cons
Limited fine-tuning controls such as HTML & CSS access. Server-side limitations & restricted source code access with this builder leave a lot to be desired. And, if you decide to cancel the monthly subscription it breaks your website.
