📄 Editorial Review

IONOS is one of Europe’s largest web hosting, domain registration, business application, and cloud infrastructure providers. Its history began in 1988, when Ralph Dommermuth founded 1&1 in Montabaur, Germany. The hosting business entered France in 2000, giving IONOS a long-established presence in the French market.

The company expanded through several important acquisitions and integrations. These included Fasthosts in 2006, united-domains in 2008, Arsys in 2013, home.pl in 2015, STRATO and enterprise cloud specialist ProfitBricks in 2017, World4You in 2018, and we22 in 2021. The combination of the 1&1 hosting operation with ProfitBricks created the foundation for the present IONOS brand and its enterprise cloud platform. IONOS completed its stock-market listing in 2023 and remains part of the wider United Internet business group.

Achim Weiß, who originally co-founded Schlund + Partner, serves as CEO. In May 2026, IONOS Group had 6.81 million customers, following an increase of approximately 180,000 during the first quarter of the year. The wider organization employs around 4,000 people and serves customers across multiple European and North American markets.

IONOS France is much more than an inexpensive shared hosting provider. Its portfolio ranges from domain names, email mailboxes, website builders, and managed WordPress to virtual servers, dedicated hardware, GPU systems, Kubernetes clusters, managed databases, and sovereign European cloud infrastructure.

The domain registration service covers French and international extensions, domain transfers, bulk searches, new generic extensions, DNS administration, SSL certificates, domain security, and an AI-assisted domain-name generator. Many hosting packages include one domain for the first year together with a wildcard SSL certificate. Domain renewal prices should be checked carefully because registrations normally renew automatically and prepaid domain fees are generally nonrefundable.

The main shared hosting packages use Linux container-based infrastructure with NVMe SSD storage. Depending on the selected plan, customers receive support for multiple or unlimited websites, MariaDB databases, SSH and SFTP access, Git, WP-CLI, IPv6, cron jobs, Python, Perl, PHP 8.2 through 8.4, daily backups, malware scanning, DDoS protection, and geo-redundancy.

Storage capacities range from 100 GB to 500 GB. Part of the advertised capacity may be allocated initially and then expanded automatically as consumption increases. Linux hosting accounts are limited to 262,144 files, which is sufficient for typical business websites but may become restrictive for very large applications, cache-heavy platforms, or extensive archive storage.

Managed WordPress is available through Start, Expand, Boost, and E-Commerce packages. These plans include automated updates, WordPress-specific administration, malware and vulnerability scanning, domain registration, email, SSL, and AI-assisted website creation. Higher plans add additional storage, more mailboxes, stronger backup functions, and automated malware removal.

Separate WooCommerce, Joomla, PrestaShop, Jamstack, and Deploy Now products cover online stores, content management systems, Git-based deployment, and modern developer workflows. This makes the portfolio suitable for both beginners and developers who need more control over deployment and application management.

The MyWebsite Now website builder combines templates, drag-and-drop editing, domain registration, email, analytics, appointment booking, accessibility tools, and AI functions for generating text, images, page sections, complete layouts, and search-engine content. A professional design service is also available for companies that prefer IONOS specialists to build and maintain their websites.

The online store packages support physical and digital products, mobile management, integrated payment and shipping options, social selling, advertising tools, appointment booking, marketplace connections, and B2B features. Entry packages are suitable for smaller catalogs, while the Expert package supports unlimited products and wider marketplace integration. WooCommerce and PrestaShop hosting provide more flexibility for businesses that prefer established open-source ecommerce platforms.

Email services include basic custom-domain mailboxes, Mail Business, Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, email marketing, email archiving, and collaboration tools. The email infrastructure uses geo-redundant European facilities, SSL/TLS transport encryption, antispam protection, and optional antivirus filtering.

Additional office, backup, and storage services include Nextcloud Workspace, Managed Nextcloud, HiDrive, HiDrive Share, MyDefender, and cloud backup. These products make it possible to centralize website hosting, business email, file storage, collaboration, and data protection within the same customer account.

The server portfolio is unusually broad for a provider that also serves the entry-level hosting market. Customers can order Linux or Windows VPS, AMD and Intel dedicated servers, high-capacity storage servers, GPU servers, bare-metal infrastructure, n8n VPS, OpenClaw VPS, and cloud backup.

VPS packages include root access, NVMe storage, full virtualization, unlimited traffic, IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity, snapshots, customizable firewalls, KVM access, and optional block or object storage. These systems are suitable for websites, development environments, application hosting, VPN services, databases, automation platforms, and self-managed business infrastructure.

Dedicated servers provide exclusive physical resources, root or administrator access, a static IPv4 address, IPv6, configurable RAID, HDD, SSD or NVMe storage, and unlimited traffic through a standard 1 Gbit/s connection. The catalog includes general-purpose systems, storage servers with capacities reaching approximately 140 TB, and GPU configurations designed for artificial intelligence, deep learning, rendering, and high-performance computing.

IONOS Cloud is a separate enterprise-grade environment rather than simply another VPS range. Its services include Compute Engine, Cloud Cubes, GPU virtual machines, bare metal, private cloud, Managed Kubernetes, container registries, block storage, object storage, NFS, backup, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, in-memory databases, Kafka event streams, Cloud DNS, CDN, DDoS protection, VPN Gateway, NAT Gateway, application and network load balancers, flow logs, monitoring, logging, and AI Model Hub.

Cloud infrastructure can be provisioned through an API or through the graphical Data Center Designer. Per-minute billing and maximum monthly price caps make the platform suitable for both temporary workloads and continuously running production systems.

The French website is fully localized in French and uses EUR. Prices are commonly displayed before tax as HT and with French VAT as TTC. The interface is modern, responsive, and suitable for mobile devices, although the large number of products and promotional combinations can make direct comparisons more complicated than with a smaller specialist provider.

The company operates through multiple localized websites, including ionos.com for the United States, ionos.de for Germany, ionos.co.uk for the United Kingdom, ionos.fr for France, ionos.es for Spain, ionos.it for Italy, ionos.ca for Canada, and other country-specific portals. The US website is available in English, with a separate Spanish-language version, but they offer separate domain names and even dedicated offices for individual country markets as follows: ionos.com for English-speaking markets, ionos.de for Germany, ionos.at for Austria, ionos.uk for the United Kingdom, ionos.es for Spain, ionos.fr for France, ionos.ca for Canada, ionos.ro for Romania, and ionos.hu for Hungary. Product prices and currencies vary by country, with USD on the US site and local currencies such as EUR, GBP, CAD, or MXN on regional versions.
