Businesses looking for feature-rich, low-cost hosting should consider 1&1 Ionos. The web host provides a variety of appealing packages, such as shared, virtual private server (VPS), WordPress, and dedicated hosting. However, it is the company’s cloud hosting plans, which are robust packages that cater to both small businesses and enterprise-class customers, that distinguish 1&1 Ionos as an Editors’ Choice pick in the category. Because of its low cost, shared hosting is one of the most popular types of web hosting. With shared hosting, your website shares system resources (and thus the associated cost) with the many other websites that are also hosted on the same server. Shared hosting is not very powerful, but it is inexpensive. That is sometimes all that is required. 1&1 Ionos charges a standard monthly web hosting fee but offers discounts if you sign up for multi-month or annual packages. You can choose a one-month plan with any package tier from 1&1 Ionos. This pricing method may have little (if any) impact on large businesses, but a budget-conscious blogger will appreciate 1&1 Ionos’ one-month basic web hosting option. The Linux operating system is used on shared web hosting servers. If you purchase a 12-month plan, the entry-level Essential package (starting at $4 per month) includes a free domain name. Essential costs $6 per month if you choose to renew on a monthly basis. With a per-month renewal, you lose the free domain, but Ionos offers a domain name add-on with private registration for a one-year introductory fee of $1. The Essential package also includes 10GB of storage, one email account, and ten databases, as well as the ability to handle approximately 50 visitors per minute on a single site. The following tier is Business, which includes the previously mentioned unlimited website, unlimited storage, and 1 email account. This tier, which is optimized for 200 visitors per minute, costs $0.50 per month if you sign up for a 12-month plan. Otherwise, Business increases to $10 per month and renews at that price after the introductory $0.50 rate expires. The Expert plan (starting at $8 per month and rising to $16 after a year) includes the same unlimited websites, unlimited storage, and unlimited databases as the Business plan, but with 1 email account, enhanced malware protection, and the ability to handle nearly 500 visitors per minute. Those are reasonable plans for a small business that simply wants to list its inventory. The lack of email account offerings is especially limiting for larger businesses; Ionos’ shared hosting plans include only one email account. The Editors’ Choice for shared hosting, HostGator, provides superior shared web hosting packages for a broader user base. HostGator not only provides a choice of Linux or Windows servers, but it also provides unlimited storage, email, and monthly data transfers at each shared hosting tier. VPS hosting is a level above shared hosting. It is a more powerful hosting option in which your site makes use of more server power. VPS hosting isn’t exactly cheap, but it’s also not prohibitively expensive. Because other sites that share the server take a big hit, you’re less likely to notice a slowdown (something that often happens with shared hosting). 1&1 Ionos’ cloud-powered VPS offerings (starting at a budget-friendly $2 per month for 512MB of RAM, 10GB of SSD storage, and unlimited data transfers) provide you with the tools you need to build a website that can withstand the rigors of the internet better than traditional shared web hosting. Using the company’s top-tier, $35-per-month VPS XXL package, you can outfit the Linux or Windows-based servers with up to 12GB of RAM and 240GB of storage. It is important to note that if you choose Windows, the final price of your package may increase significantly due to licensing fees—$10 per vCore per month. Although 1&1 Ionos offers quality VPS web hosting packages, Hostwinds, the Editors’ Choice for VPS web hosting, outperforms it by providing unlimited storage and unlimited domain hosting. Hostwinds also provides Minecraft VPS hosting for as little as $8 per month. Cloud hosting is becoming increasingly common. It differs from traditional hosting in that it spreads resources across multiple servers, whereas traditional hosting pulls power from a single server. 1&1 Ionos has wholeheartedly embraced this type of hosting, offering multiple tiers of managed and unmanaged cloud hosting that can be outfitted with the Linux or Windows operating systems. The plans start at $0.0056 per hour (with a maximum $4 per month charge) for a single-core CPU, 512MB of RAM, 30GB of SSD storage, and unlimited monthly transfers. The offerings max out at $0.44 per hour for a 24-core CPU, 48GB of RAM, 480GB of SSD storage, and unlimited monthly data transfers. There are managed and unmanaged options, as well as customizable plans. Simply put, 1&1 Ionos’ cloud hosting plans are outstanding. Here’s how it works: 1&1 Ionos is the way to go for enterprise-class cloud hosting. For smaller-scale sites that require a less demanding cloud hosting service, DreamHost is the co-Editors’ Choice. There is nothing more powerful than dedicated hosting when it comes to non-cloud hosting. This hosting type allows your site to take advantage of a server’s full power because it exists entirely on the server. There is no sharing of system resources here. Serious site operators should consider dedicated hosting as soon as they can afford it. 1&1 Ionos offers four Linux-based dedicated hosting tiers (with Windows as a hidden option): A8i, L-16, XL-32, and XL-64. The plans include either traditional hard disk drives (HDDs) or solid-state drives (SSDs), which affect the price slightly. The SSD-based A8i plan, for example, begins at $45 per month (rising to $65 per month after a year) and includes a 2.4GHz Intel Atom C2750 CPU, 8GB of RAM, 240GB of storage, and unlimited monthly data transfers. The HDD-based equivalent costs $47 per month and comes with a 1,000GB HDD. The most expensive plan, XL-64 ($140 per month), includes a 20-core Intel Xeon E3-1270 v6 CPU, 64GB of RAM, an 800GB SSD, and monthly data transfers that are unlimited. All dedicated hosting plans from 1&1 Ionos include Sitelock malware protection as well as the RailGun content delivery network (CDN) for faster page loads.
