l haven’t been domaining that long (l just sold my first domain name—SexDollSites.com—and probably undervalued it, but l was happy to just make that elusive first sale), but l’ve used several registrars, and it’s my opinion that 1and1 Ionos is a dumpster-Fire compared to the other registrars l’ve had the pleasure of using.
I bought 25 domain names over a period of a couple months from Ionos, as it had a $1 domain-sale for the first year. And l’ve been paying in wasted time, effort, and money ever since for the ostensible savings l realized from the super-cheap prices.
My question is, can l somehow move my domain names to another site? For one thing, the lONOS “customer service” reps tell me l can’t change my domain names’ status from private to public or change nameservers (which SquadHelp requires before they will acquire a member’s domain name) without doing seeming unnecessary mostly ridiculous steps.
One rep told me l needed a different Username (actually contract number) before l could alter the settings of any of my domain names.
And unlike any reputable registrar, like NameSilo or GoDaddy or Afternic, the “help” at Ionos claims its site doesn’t post a list of domain names of customers.
I could go on and on with phony charges Ionos demanded until l sent it an e-mail to cease-and-desist. Maybe you’ve had better luck with Ionos than l, but from what l’m reading on NamePros, more than a few members have opinions on Ionos—and the company, I’m sure, would not use the great majority of them in their ads.
Sorry for blathering. Again, can l “push” my domains away from Ionos?
Thanks in advance.
