FAQ – Frequently asked questions

Free website hosting means that IONOS will run your website on its servers and you don’t have to pay a penny for it. When you opt for one of our MyWebsite packages, we’ll throw in free website hosting. Hosting your website with IONOS has many benefits including 99.9% uptime, scalable performance management, fast page loading times, and protection against cyber attacks, to name but a few.

Yes, with IONOS. Some free hosts offer very basic security features, and you may have to pay to upgrade for more secure features such as an SSL/TLS certificate. This isn’t the case with IONOS as you have all the security you need right from the start. DDoS protection ensures your website is safe from any incoming cyber attacks. The advanced server-side security helps keep your site up and running no matter what happens. The free website hosting package also contains a Wildcard SSL Certificate, enabling you to secure your website with HTTPS.

For extra peace of mind, there are also regular backups, enabling you to recover files from restore points if anything is deleted or lost.

Yes. With IONOS, it’s possible to enjoy free website hosting without having to register a domain since all IONOS MyWebsite plans include a free domain with the website builder. However, you can also link your project to any other web address as soon as you have added it to your contract.

Yes. Free website hosting is usually associated with an abundance of advertisements since the web provider needs to make their money back. Luckily with IONOS, you don’t have to worry about ads popping up that having nothing to do with your website. Our free website hosting is not just free regarding the cost, but also free of ads.
