Ionos 1&1

Tweet

Ionos is an all-in-one website store for all your website needs and wants. If you know what you are doing, Ionos is a great option. But if you are -starting an online business after using nothing but Microsoft office clip-art since you graduated high school in 1995. When they still taught us shorthand. Then it’s not such a good thing. I jumped in and thought I could wing it, till I learned it. But it was getting really expensive. Ionos expects that if you come to their website to make a purchase, you know what the heck you are doing. I didn’t know the differences in each kind of product. The difference between my packages. And every time I turned around, they were trying to sell me another product. Me, not being educated and jumping in headfirst thought, “well they’re my domain provider. Must be that. I need this to have my presence online.” The first product I sighed up for was a Thirty day trial of their ranking coach. It normally runs higher, but along with the trial, I would get it for $94. a year. This came with my website, email, and website creator. Cool, all this sounds right. Being online is what I wanted to do. Then I go to create my site and I get a notice about security. Well, we all need some more security, right? So in the cart, it goes. When I did this, I just assumed Ionos would know that wanted to place my new SSL with my current the email address connected to my site. Oh no, that would be too easy. After a while of meddling with my website. I’m fully frustrated and I get a message about email marketing. Wanting me to finish setting up my email. I had already finished setting up my email, and it included email marketing in my ranking coach package. I ran up and down the web on the internet. Trying to learn everything there was to learn about the internet in two days. I need to find out why I needed five emails for one website. Finally. I concluded. Ionos will sell you everything you need for a website. But if you want one package to connect to another package, you need to learn more about starting a website. You can buy all the email packages, virus blocking packages, domains, and website builders in the world if you want to, but if you want an email, domain secured, and website builder for one website. Take my previously stated advice. All the purchases I had made would connect to each other, but they could also be rempoved and placed somewhere else if you need to. Make sure your products are pointing towards your domain because, by the time I was through, I had access to over five emails, three sites, four domains, SSL, rankings coach, and none of them secured with the extra security I purchased. I’ve had to call and have one of their tech guys do it. The call lasted about an hour, or well, almost an hour. In the end, I learned I needed to cancel some stuff but currently, their cancelations department was closed. Customer support there is wonderful. Even more so because the guy didn't laugh me off the phone. I basically was having them to build my site for me. Without paying the fee. They are very attentive to the client. The world of the internet isn’t only one path. During your journey, you can have better directions and a good defense spray for predators, and take an alternative path if you chose to. But if you’re trying to run a website, you need to take a class.
