IONOS Hosting vs. Yola

I run five websites off of 1&1 for different outshoots of the company. For our web needs it works perfectly. We have a midgrade hosting package and it works perfectly. I know if issues arose from traffic or storage space 1&1 would have a solution for us.

Yola is great for a more static approach to building websites. Building dynamic applications is possible because of HTML, but oftentimes harder to accomplish.

• Private registration: 1&1 offers free private registration which makes them an automatic favorite.
• Reliable customer service: always someone available when I call in and I have never had my issue not get resolved.
• Easy to use dashboard: domains in one place with DNS settings and other things that can be tweaked. It's easy to add an SSL certificate to domains as well.

Incentivized

• Easy Setup Using Templates
• Quick Build Outs of a Website
• Allows for Extensive Customization of Templates
• Allows for Password Control of Website or Individual Pages

• From my experience, customer services does not know how to address issues in an understandable language
• I feel that they arbitrarily overcharge w/o any explanation
• In my opinion it is really pricey

• Password Management Beyond a Single Password - Perhaps Implementing OTP which would allow the sites to do subscription services.
• An easy way to upload images/files for reference when using HTML

I'm very happy, no problems.

In over 8 years of operations, we have not had a single outage that affected us.

Incentivized

The email system has not impeded out mail flow in any way, and we do not notice the delays we sometimes see with other systems that include spam/junk mail filtering.

Incentivized

Rackspace I find to be too pricey for the service they offer. Pagely is very much WordPress oriented. I've had downtime with both that I haven't experienced with 1&1.

Incentivized

Yola exceeds ease of use above the others

The scalability of the email solution far exceeds our needs and would be suitable for organizations not looking for an enterprise sized multipurpose solution (O365, Google Workspace, etc).

Incentivized

• 1&1 host our email and domains adequately. We can easily add and remove emails as needed.
• 1&1 also works with our website platform, Memberclicks.

Incentivized

• They don't charge for HTTPS connectivity when they handle your domains. That saves nearly $300 versus trying to do that with a tool like GoDaddy.
• Easy Video integration saves a lot of coding.
• Password management is too simple which costs time and money to circumvent their process on one password.
