Founded in Germany in 1988, IONOS (formerly known as 1&1 Hosting) is a web hosting giant and one of the best web hosting providers with 2,000 employees, 10 data centers, more than 90,000 servers, and 8 million customer contracts worldwide.
Putting that into perspective, Datanyze says IONOS (still listed there as 1&1) has a 7.4% share of the web hosting market: that's ahead of everyone but Google Cloud (8.37%), Amazon AWS (20.16%), and GoDaddy (7.53%). In an industry crowded with service providers, it's a remarkable achievement and a testament to its resilience.
