When you sign up to any IONOS service that include a domain, e.g. domain registration, MyWebsite, web hosting etc., you get full access to the free DNS (Domain Name Service) services.
As an existing IONOS customer, you can set up the DNS service on your existing domain at any time either as an external domain or by transferring the domain to IONOS. You can also register a new domain to be able to take advantage of this service as a new customer.
