*📜 Plan description

OV wildcard certificate for a domain and all subdomains, adding verified business identity. The plan card states: Instant SSL OV Wildcard; Protect a domain including all of its subdomains; Organisation Validated; up to 256-bit encryption; £1,250,000 loss-excess amount; Padlock display; Protection against phishing; “Display the trustworthiness of your business.” Choose this when you run many hosts and want the organisation name shown in certificate details and the trust-seal profile after successful company verification. It’s ideal for SaaS, multi-brand footprints and large portals where a single certificate simplifies lifecycle management while signalling a verified operator.

As described across the page, IONOS prices are ex-VAT with 20% VAT added at checkout; plans bill annually. The catalogue includes DV/OV/EV and wildcard options, all advertising up to 256-bit encryption plus a tiered CA warranty. Management is through IONOS’s panel with CSR upload/generation, email/DNS validation helpers and reissue tools, and support is available 24×7 via phone/email. A 30-day money-back guarantee is promoted for eligible services. Certificates integrate with standard stacks (Apache/Nginx/IIS), proxies and CDNs; use proper key management and HSTS to maximise security on deployment.

📄 Editorial Review

IONOS UK stands as Europe’s largest hosting provider and a flagship member of the United Internet group, bringing over 30 years of experience to the table. Originally established in 1988 under the name 1and1 ( 1&1 ), the company set out with a clear vision: to deliver powerful, secure, and user-friendly hosting solutions tailored primarily for small and medium-sized businesses. In 2018, a strategic merger with ProfitBricks (based in Berlin and founded in 2010) transformed the company into IONOS, integrating advanced cloud infrastructure with its already robust suite of hosting products. This evolution has enabled the company to offer a wide spectrum of solutions—from traditional shared hosting and WordPress-specific packages to cutting-edge VPS, cloud, and dedicated hosting services.

At its core, IONOS UK is built on the principles of innovation, reliability, and customer empowerment. The company continuously refines its technology and service offerings to keep pace with a rapidly evolving digital landscape. Its product portfolio is designed to accommodate a diverse range of users, from individual bloggers and small startups to large enterprises requiring mission-critical solutions. By merging high-end hardware with user-centric software tools, IONOS has cultivated a reputation for delivering an exceptional digital experience.

Despite occasional critiques regarding the somewhat fragmented purchasing process (with multiple upsell prompts across several pages), the overall user experience is significantly enhanced by clear pricing information, intuitive navigation, and a well-integrated suite of management tools. In an industry where transparency and reliability are paramount, IONOS consistently rises to the challenge, offering both a high degree of customization and an unwavering commitment to uptime and security.

The company uses different websites/offices for other countries like: ionos.de for Germany / ionos.es for Spain / ionos.co.uk for UK/ ionos.it for Italy / ionos.fr for France / ionos.ca for Canada.

IONOS has a strong position in UK, with local office and datacenter.
