Overall Satisfaction with IONOS Hosting

We are using IONOS Hosting for hosting email accounts for a subset of our users. This allows us to have a simple to configure set of email accounts for users that are not part of our full domain and provide a consistent domain name instead of spurious personal accounts, and helps separate personal from work emails.

Pros

  • Easy to configure email accounts
  • Effective Spam/virus filtering
  • Adequate storage space per email account

Cons

  • Better support for providing SPF and DMARC/DKIM records to prevent our domain from being used to relay spam.
  • Ability to have an email only hosting plan without associated website, etc.
  • Ability to brand the webmail interface with corporate branding.
  • Reliable email for our group has been a great way to keep in touch.
  • Ability to create aliases for emails allows for "temporary" addresses that can be used at conferences which can be disabled in the future.
  • Supported by most major email clients.

Yes

Did implementation of IONOS Hosting go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy IONOS Hosting again?

Yes

Their email hosting has been robust with no outages, or delivery issues. Storage per account is reasonable given the basic hosting cost, but not necessarily leading the pack. Webmail is very functional and has the ability to setup rules. Both POP3 and IMAP are supported.

IONOS Hosting Reliability

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