IONOS

1&1 was born in 1988, with the main aim of making information technology easy for everyone to understand and use. Committed to delivering powerful, reliable and secure products, 1&1 engineered its own data center architecture and extensive network, we manage more than 6 million customer contracts and host over 22 million domains in our own regional data centers in the US and Europe, set up their web presence and take advantage of more sophisticated digital services.

After initial successes in Europe, 1&1 launched 1&1 Inc. in 2003 in Chesterbrook, Pennsylvania. Within a year, 1&1 had expanded its US-based customer service team and in November 2004 the company ranked among the top ten web hosting providers in the United States. To better serve the market, a large data center of over 40,000 servers was commissioned in Lenexa, Kansas.1&1 helped solidify its US market position by completing the takeover of mail.com in 2010.

Mass-market hosting success, combined with years of experience building server hardware tailored to cloud applications, was complemented by other strategic acquisitions to create a full-fledged hosting leader. 1&1 cemented its position as a world-class provider of hosting solutions and became the largest domain registrar in Europe.

Robust infrastructure portfolio in hand, 1&1 then integrated cloud-based digitization applications and tools into its offering, enabling businesses of any size to safely and simply harness the benefits of the cloud.

Evolution, not revolution — from January 2020, we will be known as IONOS. We will continue to be the 1&1 brand you know, but with a new logo that better represents the innovation, reliability and experience you expect. Your access to our products and services remains unchanged and you can continue to enjoy first-class web hosting, fully scalable cloud solutions and individualized support.
