IONOS Review | Is IONOS Web Hosting 2024 Still Good?
hi there ionos hosting is it good bad or just okay let's not waste time and get my ionis review 2023 Roland so the ionos company started in Europe all the way back in 1988 and it offers many different services including WordPress hosting and VPS however even after all these years it's not so popular and you can find a few negative comments on the internet so is it a quantity over quality kind of deal I'm about to tell you in this ionos web hosting review I'll mostly be looking at shared hosting so I've left the best discount deals I could find in the description however if you want any other type of Hosting covered like this video and leave a comment below to let me know so the first thing to note about iono's web hosting is that unlike most regular shared hosting providers ionos only allows you to host for one month or 12 month terms which shared web hosting ionos does this one neat thing it offers its business plan for only one dollar a month for the first term and this plan is quite impressive unlimited websites unlimited storage space unmetered bandwidth free domain name for a year and up to six gigabytes of RAM for your sites honestly I kinda doubt there is a better deal you can find for a single dollar a month is ionos hosting worth it in my opinion ionos isn't the best provider if you are only looking for a solution to host a single site however the business plan is a pretty great option when hosting multiple sites now ease of use is a little difficult with iono since it uses its own custom dashboard for managing your website and Services I usually say that custom dashboards are better than the older structures of cpanel but here um I kind of don't know what I will give to ionos is that the UI is clear and it's easy to navigate my problem is that it requires a bit more time to learn the dashboard design is great but some tools are just weirdly placed like to install a new WordPress I have to go to domain select one and then go into the bottom menu while working with iona's dashboard I always wanted it to be a bit more streamlined I've also experienced some lag while working with this dashboard but it was just a few instances to summarize the ionos control dashboard it works but there is room for improvement now one thing that is always in question with affordable assured hosting does it have decent performance now to set the stage Google recommends fully loading your website in around 2.5 seconds to get the best search engine optimization results so I've installed a WordPress with a simple demo theme and ran it through GT metrics the results this site fully loaded in 1.4 seconds compared to the industry's standard ionis's performance is on the better side beating out Bluehost and HostGator but still falling short of hostinger's Blazing servers okay so this Reddit post caught my eye it seems like ionos can charge you for extended PHP support if your current version is 7.4 or lower now for some this might sound very confusing PHP is just a scripting language servers use and if you're not a developer or running older projects you only need to make sure that it is set to the current version digging a bit deeper I found that yeah ionos doesn't update your PHP version and can charge you for its support if you don't upgrade now while other providers usually don't update your PHP automatically they also don't charge you for using the old versions so if you remember to update your PHP you should be good moreover when we take a look at the Security package it's not bad at all every shared whip hosting plan has you know free SSL certificate DDOS protection yada yada but this ionos SSL certificate isn't just a bare minimum these are wild card certificates that encrypt not only your main domain but all sub-domains as well with the expert plan you also get a malware site scanner it's a good tool and while it can get similar protection from WordPress plugins this gives it a bit more server-side security I will give a big Point here just for having daily backups of your content you see automatic backups can save your life in critical moments so having them for anything more than a simple portfolio is necessary the last thing I want to mention here is both for security and performance it's geo-redundant infrastructure Jesus try saying that times in a row anyway this means that your website's data stays on two different servers so even if one of them is down or just in maintenance mode you can still reach your site and work on it oh and if you need more security tips or reviews make sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel so is ionos hosting good well I can't say it's the best web hosting for everyone it has good performance an okay dashboard and lots of resources however I would recommend it for those who want to host multiple websites you'll get the best bang for your buck hey thanks for sticking to the end of my iona's hosting review you can find more videos right here you can also grab a discount for ions to get a better deal if you've used this provider share your experience and I'll see everyone else later
