Ionos by 1&1

I'm Frustrated! Worst decision I've ever made. I've been trying to point my domain at GoDaddy from few days but their system failed. The domain status is "UPDATING" at Ionos.com. I contacted to support. They reset my domain settings by telling it would take 24 to 48 hours to rest. It's "STUCK". After that, I've to wait more 24 to 48 hours to point my website at GoDaddy. It was already stuck in updating from their side, and they resets. Which will take more days to update and still I don't know it'll gonna work or not, still waiting, my domain "clickkaro.pk" and "aramsaay.pk". Also I've to wait for their working hours if they don't operate 24 hours.

I purchase domain and hosting promotion plan from Ionos.com by 1&1 by my Visa debit card. When I paid amount I receive receipt from Ionos.. but when I log in its fails. I try again and again but failed. When I chat Ionos chatbox he say that I have no record against your email.

The absolute worst experience anyone could ever have with a host. Our website was hacked with a brute force in June not long after launching a donation portal. I requested assistance from Ionos second tier support but never heard back from them. After months of trying to determine what to do, since somehow my website was routing to a shill credit union site in Minnesota and forwarding to a cryptocurrency site and others that I won't mention, I deleted my entire server EXCEPT for the hidden files that I could not delete and Ionos refused to delete which were in the log files that the hacker FTPd the code and the several files that were hidden by ionos and that they would not delete (hidden files admitted by an ionos rep). I lost months of time and, I am sure, a lot of donations due to this cluster ** of a company. Stay very far way from them.

I hired this Ionos Company for a website design. I gave them content, They cut most my content. Used inferior fonts and design. For the next few months, they promised to fix it but not a single piece of work was done or even attempted. Over the course of these four months, 80% of my calls to Ionos were either unanswered or disconnected, sometimes after multiple transfers. Every "successful call" ended with "I will get back to you" and that never happened.

I started 2 domains for a friend who was not sure how to do this. They were on discounted first year of 99 each. I received invoices monthly saying that there was a £0.00 monthly charge until I received the final one saying there would be a £36 monthly charge. I immediately cancelled auto renewal and received an email saying they would not be renewed. I then receive a Paypal invoice for £36 3 days later to Ionos by 1&1.

As a former employee of both GoDaddy.com and BlueHost.com as well as the 2 largest ISP's in America, this company is embarrassing. I know how long they've been around and the ineptitude coupled with the devious sales page for something as simple as a domain purchase is bare minimum without decency. After trying to navigate the mess of invoices and contracts listed in my account, I believed I had canceled my subscriptions, of which I didn't formally agree to in the first place. Then after multiple attempts to charge my account I get an email stating I now owe 4x the amount for a product I never chose or wanted. Calling on the weekend, the representative sent me an email to call again during the week to cancel what should already be canceled. It's so heartbreaking the way we have learned to treat other humans for the sake of a few bucks.

I had to order on this fraudulent site a domain name and a web hosting. And for several days I have been charged on my credit card but still nothing. They blocked the hosting and I try to talk with them via the chat and they do not even answer. The support is really horrible... Too bad you can't give 0 stars otherwise I would have given them without hesitation... This is my first order on their site and I am disappointed with their service. I am very disappointed. Moreover I don't even have the possibility to have my money back. This service is just losing its credibility for nothing at all after so many years of service. It's really deplorable... I lost my money with them but I hope that my comment can prevent many other people from being so badly scammed...

I have been a computer consultant to Law Firms for over 30 years. I deal with Domain Name hosting, maintenance of DNS records, domain name transfers on at least a weekly basis. I have done SCORES of domain name transfers. IONOS is the first company I have EVER seen who deleted the DNS records in their system when a Domain name transfer is INITIATED instead of when it is COMPLETE. It's a swift kick in the rear on your way out the door with a steel toed boot.

I currently have several domain names hosted with this company, and two of the domains I chose not to renew. However, my account is now suspended and being held hostage for $75 for the renewal of those two domains. I called support and was told to "read the fine print in their terms and conditions". Then he further stated that I should have clicked the button not to renew. Honestly, I completely forgot about the domains and did not click that button as it had been a year and simply forgot...I mean, it was only a pandemic right? So this part can be debated.
