How to fix IONOS not working
IONOS is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
Your browser tries to reach ionos.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Check IONOS status page
Open the official status page to see if problem reports for the service are above their usual level. If they are, wait and retry later; if they are not, the fault is likely local to your device or network.
Try IONOS on mobile data
Turn off Wi-Fi on your phone and load the site over mobile data, or connect your computer to a phone hotspot. If the service works there, your router or local firewall is the problem; restart the router and check any firewall rules for the app or browser.
Flush DNS for IONOS
On Windows, open Command Prompt as administrator and run ipconfig /flushdns. On macOS, run sudo dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder in Terminal. After either command, retry the service.
Contact IONOS help with details
If the service still fails for you alone, open the help centre and start a support request. Include the exact error message, the time you saw it, the device and browser you used, and what you already tried; that saves a round trip.
While IONOS is down: what to use instead
- Cloudflare Use it for DNS and web traffic if your domain is already connected there and the IONOS control panel is unavailable.
- Microsoft 365 Use Outlook and Microsoft 365 for email and calendars if your mailbox is already set up there.
- Google Workspace Use Gmail and Google Workspace for email and shared files if your organization already uses those accounts.
- AWS Use an existing AWS deployment to keep a website or app available while IONOS hosting is offline.
Fix IONOS on Windows, Mac, Android and iPhone
IONOS on Windows

- Clear your web browser's cache and flush your Windows DNS cache to resolve connection issues to the IONOS Control Panel. If you are using IONOS email, verify your security and port settings in your mail client.
- Check
- Check if the official IONOS status page reports any active outages affecting your region. You can also try to access the IONOS login page using an incognito browser window to rule out local profile issues.

IONOS on iPhone and iPad
- Fix
- Clear Safari's history and website data, or reinstall the IONOS app from the App Store if it crashes. Ensure that cellular data access is enabled for the IONOS app in your iOS settings.
- Check
- Check if the IONOS app has any pending updates in the App Store. Try opening the IONOS website in a private Safari tab to determine if the issue is app-specific.
Problems at the same time as IONOS
Since 6 October, IONOS's only spike in problem reports overlapped a spike at another service.
When several services get problem reports at once, something they share, such as a cloud host or a network, can be the real cause. Matching times alone do not prove it.

What happens when IONOS goes down
IONOS is a web hosting and cloud provider for small businesses and developers. An outage interrupts the sites you publish, the mail you send and receive, the domains that route visitors to your site and the control panel you use to manage all of it.
When trouble hits, the first sign is often the control panel or webmail login hanging, while a site that is already cached may still load. Hosted sites then return server errors or time out, and mail clients fail to connect to IMAP or SMTP, so messages queue instead of arriving. DNS failures make your domain resolve slowly or not at all. Problems are often partial, with one region or one service failing while other parts keep working, so check the official status page and help centre before you change anything.

How we track IONOS
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for IONOS, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for IONOS, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. This is separate from IONOS's official status page: user reports tend to show a problem early, while the official page confirms the cause. If the two disagree, check both.
