IONOS

IONOS is one of Europe's largest hosting and cloud infrastructure companies, part of United Internet AG and headquartered in Montabuaur, Germany. Serving millions of customers worldwide, IONOS provides a broad spectrum of services from domain registration and shared web hosting through to VPS, dedicated servers, managed Kubernetes, and enterprise cloud solutions. The company operates its own data centers in Europe and North America.

The web hosting and domain services represent IONOS's traditional business and remain popular among small businesses and website owners who need straightforward, affordable hosting with a managed experience. Shared hosting plans include email hosting, website builders, SSL certificates, and one-click application installers for WordPress, Joomla, and other popular platforms. Domain registration covers hundreds of TLDs with competitive pricing.

VPS solutions at IONOS range from entry-level configurations for small applications and development environments to powerful instances for production workloads. Linux VPS instances are available with full root access for complete server control, and Windows Server VPS instances serve applications that require a Windows environment. Cloud VPS provides additional flexibility with on-demand scaling of resources.

Dedicated servers at IONOS provide enterprise-grade hardware on a managed or unmanaged basis. The managed dedicated server option includes hardware monitoring, OS updates, and technical support, providing a lower-maintenance alternative to fully self-managed bare metal. The unmanaged option gives technical customers full hardware control without additional operational assistance.

IONOS Cloud is the cloud computing platform offering compute instances, block storage, object storage, managed databases, load balancers, private networks, and Kubernetes services. The cloud platform targets the SME and mid-market segment with a balance of capability and ease of use that suits organizations without dedicated cloud architects.

The IONOS data centers are located in Germany, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States, with all European locations subject to GDPR compliance. Performance guarantees and SLAs are included with enterprise and dedicated server plans, providing reliability assurances for business-critical applications.
