A2 Hosting vs IONOS 2020

ver web hosting service that I have ever experienced, which is really the best in the world of web hosting service. This is my unbiased and truthful review. My hosted websites? 'bullxo.net - Active' and 'bullxo.com - Hibernating'. Please visit these websites and see how cost-effective and fast they are..

scheinbar wird dort nicht ausschließlich geschlampt und geschummelt - ein Lichtblick also? In unserem Fall gab es allerdings mit dem Shared Hosting Paket "Lite" von Anfang an nur Probleme: Die Performance (Wordpress-Installation) war unterirdisch und noch vor dem "GoLive" erschien des öfteren eine White Page mit der Meldung "Error 508 - Limit reached". Welches Limit? Das konnte uns der Support leider auch nur nebulös erklären ("PHP-Prozesse") und auf die nächstgrößeren Abos verweisen. Da wir fast identische Installationen in mehreren Ländern, bei zahlreichen Hostern betreiben und nie von Anbeginn solche grundsätzlichen Probleme hatten, scheint dieser Anbieter eher von der Fraktion "Abzocke" mit völlig überlasteten Servern zu sein. So erscheint dann auch das weitere Angebot in einem fragwürdigen Licht, wenn man erst einiges an Arbeitsspeicher, durch größere Paketangebote, upgraden muß, um eine stinknormale WP-Installation zum Laufen zu bringen. Daraus ergibt sich dann ein Gesamtpreis, bei dem man nur noch mit den "Ohren schlackern" kann. Auch die Erstattung entsprach nicht unserer Erwartung: $77 statt den ehemals bezahlten $118 nach 34 Tagen Mitgliedschaft..... Nicht ohne, oder? Am Ende wird man dann einerseits durch einen automatisierten Kündigungsprozess geführt, aber andererseits mehrfach detailliert nach den Kündigungsgründen gefragt. Gibt man darauf die entsprechenden Antworten, bleibt jede Art von Stellungnahme aus. Warum stellt das Unternehmen dann solche Fragen? Auch in der abschließenden Kündigungsbestätigung fand sich nicht ein einziges Wort des Bedauerns. Auch an dieser Stelle könnte man also sicherlich noch einiges optimieren...

f the work of the forum, which has existed for 12 years. There were 101 tables with more than a million messages written by about a thousand users, and suddenly all the tables were emptied and there was no longer any row inside it, not even records concerning the forum software settings.
I immediately contacted the IONOS customer support via email as well as their official facebook and twitter accounts and asked them what happened, how the data disappeared and asked for a backup from them. However, 4 days have passed since then and I have not yet received an answer as to who on their team is responsible for the data loss. As for the backups, it seems that they only have it for the last 7 days, and it turned out that all the backups were faulty. The forum worked correctly on November 10, as well as for several hours on November 11, which is confirmed by the forum community as well Google analytics, which clearly shows that users were active until that moment, and then, on the morning of November 11, attendance suddenly dropped to 0. However, the backup files created by IONOS hosting service for all the last 7 days, from November 4 to 11, contained only the structure of the database without data, ie. there are no INSERT statements and these SQL files were only about 106KB, while the correct database size was above 600MB. They did not give me an explanation of how the data disappeared and why they did not back up the data correctly, which was their obligation. They only pointed to theirs General Terms and Conditions according to which they are not responsible for possible data loss. On the other hand, they advertise their service as fast, secure hosting that's ready to grow including DDoS and data loss protection, which is misleading.
I have been using their services for over 6 years and now when they have lost my extremely valuable data, I have to single them out as an extremely unreliable service with terrible support. I would not recommend this hosting to anyone. Additionally, what surprised me was that I found a copy of someone else's database of over 729MB in the my forum's folder, which means that IONOS can compromise your data easily. Their attitude towards user data is disappointing. I asked them to provide me with at least some older backup, but they don't seem to have it. I paid their Expert hosting package $22.71 per month, including extended support for an older PHP version on my website, what is a pretty high price for a shared hosting with such poor service without any data protection. Indeed, this is an incredibly bad experience for me and my friends with whom I worked on this project which is now irretrievably destroyed. I will change the hosting company as soon as possible.
