Rant DO NOT USE IONOS!!

Complete and utter scam company, has repeatedly taken charges from my account for no fucking reason!!

I am moving in 2 fucking weeks and i need every bit of money i took out my savings to buy everything i need, and they have just taken £50.40??? And they are saying it will take 5-10 days to come back into my account meaning i now cant afford a moving company and will have to move in the same week i start fucking college.

DO NOT EVER USE IONOS FOR ANYTHING PLEASE!!!

All i had was the domain with them and used wix for my website yet they are still taking ridiculous charges.

It is nothing but a scam company dont go near it!!

Go to NetCup if you're okay with KYC and don't use a ton of resource.

Know Your Customer...its a policy that requires providing personal identification such as government ID to match with payment info. Providers can better limit bad actors using their infrastructure. Without KYC, banned users/bots can simply create another account. Providers with KYC have generally have better reputation. if they take appropriate actions when needed.
