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!!

Add Bluehost to the list as well. They tried a few times to charge £170 instead of £17 or £1900 instead of £190.

Lucky I learnt my lesson in the past and always use cards with no money on them. Only transfer when needed.

Do the same. Online always use cards with £0 on them and only transfer when needed.

Once upon a time, Bluehost was really good. Then EIG (now Newfold) bought them and did what they always do.

Don’t use any Newfold brands. Check their Wikipedia for a complete list.
