FAQ
IONOS questions we are asked
- Shared hosting or a VPS?
- Shared until resource contention or isolation becomes the problem. Once a site needs specific PHP versions, background workers or predictable CPU, a VPS is cheaper than firefighting.
- Is Plesk included and configured properly?
- It is commonly bundled, but defaults are permissive. Panel port restriction, MFA, service plan limits and update policy are configured explicitly.
- How is data protected?
- Provider snapshots plus an independent offsite backup, with restores tested — provider snapshots alone are not a recovery plan.
