man they just dont stop at being bad...

transfered some names under promo...then boom out of blue I get renewal invoice for one of them..get this..while it still has 1yr til expiry ..

there goes 1hr on fine to fix it... of course the rep insisted it's ok...no error..she told me word for word with her baby crying in filipinian in background..
"sir when u transfer dn to new registrar prev expiry is reset..its like brand new reg"

yea.
no comment..

then boom if that's not enuf...tried to transfr out a 5day expired name..which I done many times.. cause they got this 10day grace
... but I forgot to unlock it b4 it expired.. so I email..and the guy says..its icann policy to lock all expired names on day minusone and force renewal b4 transfr out.

poor poor ionos.. how low can one sink

The views expressed on this page by users and staff are their own, not those of NamePros.
i am considering transferring some .COs to them right now because it is $2. there is already a year and a bit of registration left on the domains.

did IONOS end up reinstating the pre-existing duration of registration? or what happened?

i dont want to lose what ive already paid for :/

+1 year happens and nothing more. If no CC fraud.
Don't produce the misleading posts/threads.

you yourself are producing misleading statement about IONOS on other threads... so please begin practicing what you preach before you preach to others.

Guys, can you check from your account at IONOS if transferring page https://shop.ionos.com/transfercheck working properly ? Try to enter any domains in .COM/.NET, etc - after pressing "TRANSFER" button - the page simply reloading and that's all. Do you also have the same issue?

Does IONOS representatives exisiting on this forum?

Thanks

Their invoice system is do dumb, their support is horrible too, they kept some of my domains and put them up for sale because of some invoicing issues where the system lagged behind, what a scam.

Just tried, works for me in Chromium 91.
And last quarter I transferred-in XX domains without issues.

No representatives on NP.
Their primary business - webhosting, and primary focus - endusers.

It's strange, but most .CO domains cannot be transferred, but some can.

I checked their transfer at this link:
https://www.ionos.com/domains/domain-transfer

Examples of domains that can be transferred:
google.co, tlds.co

These domains cannot be transferred:
flower.co, bank.co, gangster.co, damage.co, weather.co, sport.co, news.co, etc...

By the way their .CO transfer is now $1.00

I transferred XX doms to them recently.

Given that you can transfer some extensions to them for a few dollars where other registrars charge XX dollars to renew the same name, I think it's a good deal if you have a lot of alternate extensions that are costing a fortune in renewals.

Sometimes the transfer page doesn't accept names properly, so I just left it for a few days and tried again. I also had a bit of an issue with confirming org names ownership, but I contacted support and got it sorted.

Yes.
Any premium in any TLD can't be transferred to 1and1.

so I just left it for a few days and tried again.
Just clear your cache, cookies and restart browser.
A few days are not needed in 99% of such cases.

I use them almost 12 years already.
And did mid X,XXX transfers/regs there.

Stay with another registrars definitely.
The less domainers use 1and1 - the longer their promos are active.

Never used them. But continuously I read complaints from their customers. And yes, I don't want complexity and issues while doing business.

So continue to read...
Why to post such statements without any experience???

1and1 and Sedo are 2 daughters of the same parents.

I edited my comment. But still I hesitate to use them because of the tons of negative reviews. Not only here, everywhere.

1and1 is not for everyone, it is for experienced domainers only.

+ 1and1 a few years ago and current 1and1 are 2 different stories.
During last few years I had the only 1 improperly billed domain there.
