| Latest positive review | |  Always reliable and good support Juancho Dev, It has one-click backup and restore, and it has a staging environment! 24-7 available helpful tech support. Never had a problem with their servers |
| Latest negative review |  Credit card scam! James Maynard, Ionos is a credit card scam. Their convoluted contracts hide hidden charges and their actions are illegal, I will be reporting them to the FTC, the SEC, credit card fraud divisions of European police, and I will be informin... More g all their board members and largest stockholders of their documented credit card fraud. DO NOT USE IONOS if you don't want your credit card stolen. Less |  WP ENGINE HAS LET ME DOWN Sandy McCarthy, I have been with WP Engine for my wordpress site for several years now. I had heard they were the best for a business Wordpress site. In the past, I had no problems with my site ever going down. Since switching to WP Engine, ... More It has been problem after problem with my site going down for hours at a time. I finally had to set up with a Down Time notification service so I could keep track. They have switched my site over to different servers several times but never seem to be able to provide a reason or explanation for the problem. Their pricing is way higher than most companies (which they admit) yet they provide nothing special and their reliability is not stable at all. Now actively looking to switch my site to a different company. Less |
