Reliable, scalable hosting solutions for small and medium-sized businesses.
For entrepreneurs and enterprises alike, the days leading up to a new product or venture launch are a mix of excitement and anxiety. Countless hours -- and a good chunk of your quarterly budget -- have gone into this endeavour, and hitting "publish" on that new website, campaign, or landing page can feel like plunging into the deep end.
In such a high-stakes moment, having a reliable web hosting solution is indispensable. According to research, a delay of just 100 milliseconds can put customers off your site, causing as much as a 7% dip in conversions. What's more, Google has found that 53% of mobile site visitors abandon a page that takes longer than three seconds to load.
With decades of experience in the web hosting space and millions of customers relying on its services, IONOS has become a go-to solution for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) looking to establish and expand their online presence. As business owners navigate a rapidly evolving digital ecosystem, having a partner like IONOS can make all the difference -- and that's as true for the artisan launching their first eCommerce site as it is for a tech startup in the midst of rapid growth. Below is a look at how IONOS can support your SMB's goals.
New and innovative AI features for enhanced performance
IONOS offers innovative solutions fuelled by artificial intelligence (AI) -- for instance, its new Website Builder, which helps customers create professional sites in a single click. Not only does this make getting new web pages live simple, but it takes the stress out of difficult design decisions. (What font is the most "professional" for your business portfolio? How about colour schemes that convey trust and reliability for your e-commerce site? Let AI handle it.)
A digital partner by your side
We've already covered that for business owners, every second of downtime can translate into lost sales -- as well as a damaged reputation. That's why IONOS offers robust infrastructure and a 99.98% uptime guarantee. With more than 100,000 servers and a geo-redundant infrastructure that mirrors data in multiple centres across Europe and the United States, IONOS ensures that your business's site will operate smoothly and continuously -- even during peak traffic times.
IONOS' 24/7 support is another cornerstone of the company's service. Whether you're facing a technical glitch in the middle of the night or need guidance optimising your site during a hectic sales period, expert help is just a call, click, or chat away. This round-the-clock support ensures you can get assistance whenever and wherever you need it -- so you can spend more time running your business, and less time on hold with tech support.
A personalised approach to customer success is another tenet of IONOS' service philosophy. Each client gets a dedicated personal consultant who is typically available during standard business hours. This consultant can provide services including breaking down any technical jargon into understandable language, offering custom-tailored advice specific to your site and situation, and composing reports detailing your website's performance -- so you always have a finger on the pulse of your company's online presence. This level of support is particularly crucial for small business owners who may not have in-house IT expertise.
A user-friendly interface for every level of tech-savvy SMB
IONOS prides itself on offering an intuitive, easy-to-navigate platform. Their control panel is designed with the user in mind, allowing even those with limited technical knowledge to effortlessly navigate the nuances of web hosting. From setting up email accounts to monitoring site performance to securing new domains as your business expands, all essential functions are at your fingertips.
Plus, IONOS offers a range of one-click installation options for integrating popular content management systems and eCommerce platforms like WordPress, Magento, and much more. This enables users to set up a seamless sales funnel online -- no IT team, business degree, or computer science background necessary.
Scalable solutions to support your SMB's growth
As an SMB's user or customer base grows, the existing infrastructure needs to be able to keep pace. Another compelling component of IONOS' offering is its ability to scale your online presence along with your business. From your first domain purchase to complex cloud infrastructure needs, IONOS provides a clear pathway for digital growth. For companies starting small but with ambitious growth plans, having the right hosting partner to support this journey is paramount.
With more than 8 million satisfied customers and counting, IONOS has proven itself to be a reliable partner in digitalisation. Its broad product portfolio, coupled with personalised consulting, ensures that businesses of all sizes can find the right solutions to support their growth journey -- and succeed in an increasingly competitive digital landscape.
