1&1 IONOS

[So]

Anyone use them?

TSO Host is rubbish now and they seem to be losing about 10% of our emails, so we will be moving elsewhere. 1&1 has been suggested but I don't want to jump from frying pan to fire.

I use them through my dad as all our family uses the same account for email addresses.

He's used them for years and they have never been a problem.

Use them for what?

For email there are going to be better options.

For web hosting there are going to be better options.

It depends really.

Parking some domains and mail mostly.

If it were me I'd look at Gmail and Google Domains.

We’ve got about ten domains and a small website (a dozen pages) and idea how much it would cost to host them with Google?

I don't believe Google do website hosting.

Google Apps would be the email and Office type product, or Office 365 from Microsoft, each of which license per user.

Typically with this kind of thing you get what you pay for, and I'm not saying 1&1 are bad, simply that if I wanted bulletproof business email I wouldn't look beyond Google Apps or Office 365.

Used them for years, tried other companies in parallel (had about 15 domains at one point) but have dropped those. Email is ok, imap boxes etc, forwarding, autoresponder, virus protection, spam filters etc there is an upgrade option on that but not used it, I think that gives calendar etc.

I work it fairly hard with databases, jobs in the background setting up scheduled routines, and technically I’ve only had issues with python which i didn’t bother try8ng to solve. MySQL, Php and html is all fine but may depend on which package you pick. They have different levels of config depending on your ability, they’ve a fairly basic scheduler that’s menu driven, but you can open up a secure shell and edit using crontab - choices choices but in reality mist stuff is just easy to do, but if you start running into the need to do fancier stuff, there’s usually a way.

Same .htaccess and stuff like that.

Not tried their tools to help create web pages etc so can’t comment on those. They give basic web usage stats and an upgrade option for more detailed analysis but I’ve not found the need.

I think there’s a referral scheme if you felt generous,

I haven’t got a clue what you’re talking about but clearly you think they are ok.

I've used them for over a decade for email, web hosting, domains and some fairly advanced DNS stuff - never had a single issue/outage. Endlessly reliable/consistent. Maybe not the cheapest available, but if you just want it to work, very good.

Lol.. yes, they’re fine.
