Your Internet projects, whether websites or stores, are clearly displayed in your IONOS account under the menu item Websites & Stores. In this overview, you can start new projects with your IONOS contracts, or manage existing projects. This article explains how to do this.
You can create these website projects
You can create the following website projects:
- IONOS domain with an externally connected service, e.g. Wix or Facebook
