Worst hosting experience ever!

This is the third time I've tried dealing with IONOS, and it's the final. After two failed attempts to set up a simple webmail and, finally, hosting, I'm going to have to declare this the worst IT experience I've ever encountered.

The user experience is VERY difficult for a disabled person, and the customer support is next to useless! In fact, I'll declare them useless, as the one advisor didn't even know how or where to upload files to host the site, even though proudly announcing that was his job! Requested callbacks never happen; it's very difficult to even get a site hosted when even the staff don't know what they're doing. I'm now trying to cancel my contract and lo and behold, AN ERROR OCCURRED on their site, which means I've now been stuck on hold with their cancellation people for 20 minutes!

Do yourselve a favour, go sonewhere else!

Dear Christian,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear about your frustrating experience with setting up your webmail and hosting, as well as the difficulties you encountered with site accessibility, customer support, and the cancellation process. This is certainly not the standard of service we aim to provide.

To help us locate your account and assist you directly, please share your customer ID and email address via the the secure request link I have sent.

We appreciate your patience and hope to resolve this for you as quickly as possible.

Thanks,

Dear Mark,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we sincerely apologise for the frustration and disruption this email downtime has caused your business.

We fully understand how critical reliable email services are for a web retail operation.

During unexpected service incidents, call volumes increase significantly, leading to longer hold times than usual.

To help you get real-time updates without waiting on hold, we recommend checking our dedicated status page at:

https://www.ionos-status.co.uk/ first during any service

I can also confirm the issue has been resolved, sorry for any inconvenience.

Thanks,
Nadim, IONOS

Works fine until you want to cancel

Works fine until you want to cancel a contract.

I've tried a total of 5 times to cancel a contract but keep getting a "We’re sorry, an error has occurred in our systems" error message. It shouldn't be this difficult to cancel!

I suppose it's like the old saying "you get what you pay for". Buy cheap, get cheap.

As we don't have any of your customer details linked to this review, could you please provide your account number and email address via the link we've sent through Trustpilot?

Once we have that information, we can look straight into your account and get this sorted for you.

Hi Karl,

I completely understand your frustration. If you have already coded and developed your own custom website, finding out that a platform doesn't support direct file uploads is incredibly annoying.

To clarify, MyWebsite Now is a template- and block-based website builder, which means it doesn't support direct file uploads (via FTP or file manager) for custom-built sites.

However, we can easily get your custom code online by moving you to one of our Web Hosting plans (Linux or Windows), which include full FTP/SFTP access for uploading your HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and database files directly.

I have just sent an email to the address on your account with more details on how we can help you switch plans smoothly. Please reply directly to that email or reach out if you need anything else!

Best regards,
Nadim, IONOS

Great customer service

I called up to cancel one of my subscriptions. The operator was very helpful and offered me a loyalty discount for a period to give me a chance to transfer everything to the new website before closing the old one. She was very helpful and courteous with me.

Great support and issue resolved

I was having issues with billing emails after cancelling my contract. I called a few times and was told it had been resolved but it hadn't. Today I did webchat with Tyla to sort the issue out and it was seamless. Tyla was so helpful, friendly and investigated the issue for me while on chat with them. They have now resolved the problem for me which is great.

Altogether successful, thankfully

My call was answered promptly initially with AI but that worked fine, and then by real person... Tyla was quick to understand, very polite, knowledgeable about what he could (and could not) access to help me, and as a result the call ended quickly and successfully.
Such a change from what we generally expect these days from big automated systems - giving you the runaround and driving you crazy with frustration over both idiotic system and hopelessly untrained employees
