IONOS 1&1 Domains and hosting Reviews & Product Details

They made it really easy for us to build a website without any coding experience! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It did take a while to confirm the order and it does lack some system control. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use 1and1 for our company, Time Travel Records (TimeTravelRcords.com). I like how 1&1 has lower prices, starting with its $11.99 for the 1st year (hosting AND domains!), and then $99.99 for every year after. We needed a one-page website for our company, Time Travel Records, where we could embed CDbaby, iTunes and Amazon links, etc for songs. I like 1and1's autopay feature, so that we do not have to worry about paying for the site each year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Wordpress setup was rather complicated at first. Also, it is hard to receive benefits from recommending the service to others, because 1and1 only gives you $100 per recommendation if it's during the month of August. At one time, I had to upgrade to a new version of PHP, which was very complicated to do. Fortunately, 1and1 showed me how over the phone so that it would not be too much of an inconvenience.

1&1 Internet is a respected company that offers many reasonably-priced services for small businesses. You can have a combination of "coded" CSS/HTML web sites, WordPress sites and managed WordPress sites, all in one account. And 1&1 offers 500 free email accounts with your domain registration. Even if you have just one website, but several domains registered, you can easily manage the extra domains on the 1&1 control panel, and point unused domains to your main website. Support staff is available by phone, and is helpful when you need assistance. It is easy to forward emails from one account to another. You can forward your 1&1 email to another 1&1 account, or to an external account, for ease of managing your messages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The online email reader and editor could stand enhancement. I would like to see the ability to create and manage email rules, including the ability to send alerts and notifications to my smartphone app. I would like to see better integration with Mac Mail, GMail and Outlook mail applications, both Internet-based and smartphone-based (Android and iOS).

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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1&1 has great customer support to help us through technical issues. When we faced malware with some of our websites, 1&1 was surprisingly very knowledgeable about possible causes and solutions. Instead of searching around online for solutions, we were able to receive direct answers or at least be led in the right direction by talking to 1&1's support team. About 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 registration deals that are far below the price of many of its major competitors. Our hosting account has extensive administrative tools that allow us to effectively 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.

It is very easy to use and has great templates for your websites. It also is very affordable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think that they could have more animations for your website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very straightforward and explains everything thoroughly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far, there's nothing I don't like about this program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The customer service and support teams at 1&1 really stand out to me. With so much malware and attack attempts on servers and hosting accounts these days, it's nice to work with a company that monitors unusual activity and sends us steps to resolve or prevent certain problems that arise. Also, I like the user interface of the control panel for domains, web hosting and email. It's very straightforward with bold headings and buttons that allow us to smoothly navigate in and out of various account features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The pricing isn't the lowest out there. Though 1&1 does offer some super deals for new customers, the standard pricing that kicks in after the first term tends to be much higher. It's not drastically higher than average prices for similar prices, but I noticed that some other companies might throw in extra domain or hosting features for free.

I like to keep all of my domain registrations in one place. I started with 1&1 long ago, but after registering many domains through various different registrars, I have moved them all to my 1&1 account for easy management. Account tools provide for easy DNS and name server management. Pricing is affordable and auto-renewing domains keep it simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As our hosting needs grew beyond our original shared hosting account, 1&1 no longer suited us well due to performance and pricing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the 1&1 admin control panel, slick and super simple easy to edit products such as domains, Sometimes they seem to have deals on products from time to time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike how expensive they are for some domain extensions, I don't like the fact that they it's all contract based and the majority of the contracts is based on 12 months. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
