      I have called the business twice to cancel their inferior email service but I'm still being billed. I will file a claim with GA Attorney General and FCPB if they do not stop billing me. Their email service app is too difficult to use and is not worth any amount of money.

      Dear *************************,

      Customer satisfaction is our top priority, and on behalf of IONOS, I am truly sorry your experience with our company has not met your expectations. I wanted to thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback.  Direct feedback from the customer is an important resource as it helps us focus on the aspects of our products and services that need the most attention.

      My team has made attempts to contact you via telephone and has left messages; we are sorry to have missed you.

      We are pleased to inform you that prior to receiving your complaint, your email was activated and that all invoices listed in your complaint have already been reversed, and we kindly ask for your patience as it may take up to 48 hours for the balance to update within our account. 

      Regarding the cancellation of web services while retaining domain names, we'll need to set up a mail contract. This process involves backing up your existing email and transferring the domains to the new contract. Once completed, we can proceed with canceling the unnecessary web hosting and web builder contracts. We want to emphasize that in canceling your web builder and hosting services, all data, web files, and emails will be deleted and unrecoverable. Please be sure to back up any wanted data prior to cancellation.

      We have sent an email to the email address on file with the next steps in addressing the remainder of your concerns. At your earliest convenience, please review and respond directly and we will be happy to assist you further. Alternatively,  please don't hesitate to contact us directly at ******************************.

      Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we work to address your concerns and improve your experience with us.

      Dear **************,

      Thank you for the credits to my account I do have reasonable requests which are stated below.  

      Thank you for your response. I appreciate the efforts made by your team to address my concerns. However, I need further clarification and actions on specific issues. 

      1. Transfer to ******************* I want to transfer my domains to an email-only service without interrupting my current email service. Please ensure this transfer process is seamless and does not affect my email access.

      2. Unlocking Domains: I need my domains unlocked and transferred in a reasonable amount of time. It is crucial for my domains to be unlocked promptly to facilitate this transfer. 

      3. Data Preservation: It is critical that during the transition, my email service continues uninterrupted and no content is deleted. I understand that you mentioned data deletion during service cancellation. To prevent any data loss, please ensure all necessary backups and transfers are completed before proceeding.

      Please provide a clear timeline and instructions on how these steps will be executed. I expect a swift resolution to these issues to avoid any further inconvenience. We can discuss details in a reasonable manner, not your customer service. 

      Thank you for your prompt attention to these matters.

      Dear *********************************,

      Thank you for your continued patience and for outlining your specific requests. We appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns in detail.

      We have attempted to reach you through the email address on file, the phone number listed in the review, and the contact information associated with your account but have not received a response. We want to ensure that your issues are resolved promptly and satisfactorily.

      Here are the steps we will take to ensure your needs are met:

      Transfer to ******************* We will facilitate the downgrade of your web hosting service to an email-only service without interrupting your current email access. Our team will handle this process carefully to ensure a seamless transition.

      Unlocking Domains: We understand the urgency of unlocking your domains and will prioritize this request. However, can you confirm where the domains are to be transferred? As transferring domains and downgrading a service are two separate actions. The transfer of a domain to an alternate registrar will result in downtime. Can you specify this request?

      Data Preservation: If you are downgrading to an email service only, the emails will remain intact during this process. No data will be lost. Please advise the amount of email addresses you wish to retain and we will provide the associated costs.

      We have emailed the email address on file for the account. Please review and respond directly. Without acknowledgement through email or phone we are unable to process your request. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we aim to resolve these issues swiftly and efficiently.

      Thank you for your prompt attention to these matters.

      I've encountered multiple issues with this company, which I'll detail one by one. Firstly, they charged over $400 for just three months of "non-payment," which inexplicably included nine monthly fees that far exceeded the original $63 monthly payment. Despite numerous calls, no one could clarify these charges, leading me to suspect possible dishonesty. Secondly, after noticing these excessive charges, I requested the cancellation of several unnecessary services and websitesservices I had unsuccessfully attempted to cancel for months. I agreed to continue with only two websites, under two separate contracts, and was charged approximately $80 in total, which, I was assured in April, settled all dues for those sites. However, a month later, my website was suspended, and I was informed I owed an additional $103 from February to reactivate it, a discrepancy that was never mentioned in April. Clearly, there are inconsistencies in their billing, so I urge cautionthis company seems to employ deceitful tactics to extract substantial amounts from its clients.

      Two months ago I logged into my account with them and cancelled my subscription. They told me I would have to speak with them on the phone to cancel. I explained in email I do not have time to sit on hold to cancel my agreement with them. I made it abundantly clear that I did not want the service when it was up for renewal for another year. They attempted to charge my payment method anyways completely disregarding my cancelling of their service.

      I canceled my account on April 2nd of 2024 and they refuse to close it unless I jump thought hoops and be talked about of canceling it. So I cut off payment to them and not they are bothering me with phone calls after I had canceled online with them and have an email saying it. But they then want you to call in to be talked out of it and hounded by sales people. I would again like the account canceled on the 2nd of April and then left alone from them. They were awful to work with and I regret not seeing just how bad they are from reviews alone. I was current on my bill till I canceled it.

      In early February I tried to cancel my internet domain subscription with IOSOS. They failed to cancel it for some reason and I even cancelled my Paypal automatic payment capability to them. They have sent this to collection for $115.95. This is in error and they are not helping to get this resolved. This is an example of automatic renew scams

      Dear ***********************************, 

      Customer satisfaction is our top priority, and on behalf of IONOS, I am truly sorry your experience with our company has not met your expectations. I wanted to thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback.  Direct feedback from the customer is an important resource as it helps us focus on the aspects of our products and services that need the most attention. 

      According to our records, it appears that your concerns were addressed prior to the submission of your complaint. We can confirm that the account in question has been terminated, and the outstanding balance has been withdrawn and cleared from collections.

      Regarding the automatic renewal of your domain name subscription, please note that our terms and conditions stipulate that unless terminated, the domain name shall automatically renew for an additional term at the end of each term. Additionally, by agreeing to our terms and conditions at the time of your order, you authorized IONOS to debit your Payment Account for the renewal fee associated with such renewal term and any related fees or charges.

      Since we did not receive a request to terminate the service prior to the renewal date, the contract renewed as per our terms and conditions as agreed upon at the time of the order. 

      Again, we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, and we appreciate your understanding of our policies in this matter. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us here within the Executive Solutions Team at ******************************.

      This company has provided terrible customer service on Nemours occasions. They never resolve any problems, and they always blame someone else/other software for their issues. We have been an email host customer with ***** for over 20 years. On 4/10 my emails abruptly stopped coming. at 9am I called into 1and1 to get some help. Immediately I was told to contact my email host company, which is 1and1. Then after spending 2 hours on the phone with 3 different representatives, I was told I had to wait 24 to 48 hrs for resolution. I tried to explain the urgency that none of the 30 employees/colleagues can do their job because of this issue which made no difference. I called around 330pm to get an update and told them I wanted an update before the end of the day, to which they EMAILED me an update (when my issue is not receiving emails!!) Every time I called in I had to argue with a new person to get to a supervisor to actually get someone to do something. Finally, this morning I was told they will not troubleshoot this matter on their end unless I provide logs and proof from my SPAM filtering company that this is not their issue. They explored every single avenue to exonerate themselves but refuse to look at their own system as the problem. In all honesty I would cancel this service if I could, but we have so much vested with them it would be so much more work to change and significantly more expensive to go to ********* servers. All I want is for them to actually troubleshoot these issues and own up to their problems, I don't want any credit (we will pay in full for our services) and I don't want an apology I just want them to do the right thing.
