Liquid Web vs 1&1 IONOS
Considering Liquid Web vs 1&1 IONOS?
Choosing the right hosting partner shouldn’t be limited to what you need today. Rather, the right hosting partner is one that can grow with you and offer different solutions as your needs change. 1&1 IONOS is one such provider, offering not just web and application hosting but also domain registration, email and website builders. Additionally, 1&1 offers marketing services and enterprise cloud solutions for customers all around the world.
However, it can be easy for a hosting company to be spread too thin when offering so many different services. And while some of the offerings at 1&1 do stack up against the competition, others like core hosting services and cloud deployments suffer in areas that matter a great deal. For example, 1&1 refers customers to its partner network for site migrations, server management, and system administration.
At Liquid Web, our primary focus is managed hosting. That means that your server environment isn’t just optimized for performance and fine-tuned for your needs. It also means that our support team can help with a wide range of issues to keep your infrastructure running properly and in good health. What’s more, we promise to answer your phone call or chat inquiry in under a minute instead of referring you to a third-party to lend a hand.
Domain registration, website builders, and marketing services can all play a role in your digital strategy. But at Liquid Web, we choose to be the industry-leader for managed hosting, leaning on more than twenty years of expertise in doing just that. If you’re looking for a little bit of everything, a company like 1&1 might be an acceptable choice. But if you’re looking for the best managed hosting provider in the world, you’ve come to the right place.
