Greetings! IONOS isn't available in some countries. If your country isn't listed more than likely IONOS may not be available. If you reach out to them via live chat you could confirm your Country and if there's anything to be selected.
Really good tutorial, thanks for posting. Quick question; I understand having an Ionos web hosting package. Do I also need a paid account with Elementor?
Which one to buy website builder plan or shared hosting plan , cause i have followed everything u did on your video but i never seen where to create website using WordPress
Greetings! Here's how to make a backup of the site per IONOS backup article: Obtain the free backup software HTTrack by visiting the manufacturer's website. Install HTTrack on your computer. Launch HTTrack, and the software's initial screen will appear. Click on "Next." In the "Project name" field, input a name for your backup project that corresponds to your homepage. In the "Project category" field, specify a category name for the project. Use the button next to "Base path" to designate the location for storing the backup project. Then, proceed by clicking "Next." On the subsequent page, click "Add URL." Enter the domain (internet address) of your MyWebsite Creator under "URL:" and confirm your entry by clicking "OK." Continue the configuration by clicking "Next." In the next configuration step, select "Finish." This finalizes the backup setup. HTTrack will now begin the automatic download of the pages and content from your MyWebsite Creator. Please be aware that this process may take an hour or longer, depending on the size of your homepage and your internet connection's speed. After HTTrack has completed the backup, you will find the pages and content of your MyWebsite Creator in the project directory specified in step 4 on your computer's hard drive. HTTrack will store your page structure in subfolders within the main directory.
I found this from IONOS that might be helpful: Access your IONOS account and navigate to the Hosting section. If you have multiple hosting contracts, choose the one you wish to work with. Inside the Webspace section, click on the gear icon and opt for the File Recovery feature. Pick the backup you want from the dropdown menu. The Explorer section will display the backed-up folders and files. Select the specific folders and files you wish to recover. Initiate the restoration process by clicking on "Restore Selection." Your chosen files will be restored from the backup.
The IONOS website builder would be good for this. You can pick out a theme and change the text quickly. I'll have a IONOS website builder tutorial coming out soon.
Greetings! Absolutely! The IONOS website builder is the easiest way to create your site. In this tutorial, I use WordPress which you don’t need to know code using Elementor page builder.
Greetings! To get IONOS hosting you have to purchase one of its hosting plans. Just purchasing a domain name alone doesn't come with IONOS hosting service.
@@wpcupidblog alright so if I have to create WordPress site through IONOS so I have to buy shared WordPress hosting right or simple IONOS hosting will work ? Or is there any way I create my website on local host software and then export it into IONOS WordPress
My apologies on the late response. This is just showing up. IONOS shared hosting works just fine with WordPress. You can also create your site on local host software and then export it into IONOS shared hosting or WordPress hosting plan.
Adding videos and photos can be done in the Media Library in the WordPress dashboard. You can also when editing the page click an image or drag in an image to add the image. The same steps for video, you'd just drag over video where you want the video. To embed a video you can embed it by dragging over Custom HTML and copying the video embed code.
Thanks for letting us know! IONOS updated the plans right before this and it used to be unlimited websites. Definitely should have been changed in the script. Not sure how that made it past me. Will be changed for all future tutorials.
I recommend installing the free plugin WP Reset. You can reset WordPress so you can start over and re-select a theme from Elementor. You can also in the WordPress dashboard just go to the Starter Templates and choose your new theme to replace the current one.
Greetings! I'll be doing a tutorial soon on E-commerce with IONOS and its website builder. Not sure if your site is established and ranking or if switching to another E-commerce builder would be an option or be helpful. If it is I would be happy to recommend something to check out. Just let me know!
@@wpcupidblog that's the issue now I don't know cause every time I'm trying to order wordpress website plan , it can't works , so I don't know which to buy website builder plan or shared Web hosting plan
@@wpcupidblog I received it, there is no support and they start duducting money from my account without even noticing me. That's not fair. I trust your review.
Absolutely! Towards the beginning of the edits n the video I go over how to change the background image and there's an option for video. You can do this anywhere in the page.
Greetings! Couple of things could be causing this. You could start by going to the WordPress dashboard and going to Elementor in the left-side menu. Click settings, features, and try turning on active on all the performance features and save changes. If that doesn't work. Here are additional things to try: 1.Change permalinks to "Plain" in “Settings > Permalinks” on your WordPress Dashboard. 2.Check memory limit in “Elementor > System Info” and request your hosting company to raise it to at least 256MB. 3.Switch the front-end editor loader method in Elementor settings via “Elementor” > “Settings” > “Advanced” on your Dashboard. 4.Temporarily deactivate ModSecurity through your hosting company to rule out rule set issues, and check ModSecurity logs if necessary. 5.Ensure zlib.output_compression module is enabled by your host to compress data and aid in loading the editor with limited resources. 6.Lastly, you could de-activate plugins one by one as some plugins don't work well with Elementor.
Didnt work for me. I never got the Wordpress option. Took me directly to IONOS website options. Called customer support and was told that there isnt a wordpress link/option. So Im confused!
Greetings! Thanks for reaching out about this. If you signed up with the IONOS website builder plans more than likely you won't see WordPress as an option. To access WordPress you want to go with a shared hosting plan or any of the other hosting plans like WordPress hosting, VPS, etc. I just logged in and see the WordPress option.
i stopped watching after 7 minutes of "lets sell you more crap." better to call ionos and be sure to ask for someone who actualy speaks your language or you will be wasting time asking " what??" and eventually hangong up.
Big scam...I had taken a 1 year hosting plan for $12 in which I should have got 1 domain name also, but I did not get it. Later 10 dollars were taken from me again for the domain name. This is a scam website
Link to IONOS: wpcupidblog.com/go/ionos
I bought Dreamhost. Ionos was giving me hardtime anyway, at least it's reliable and recommended by WordPress
Awesome tutorial!
Thank you!
Great video!
Thanks!
I cannot get pass the "select your country" step when trying to purchase the hosting because my country isn't listed there.
What should i do?
Greetings! IONOS isn't available in some countries. If your country isn't listed more than likely IONOS may not be available. If you reach out to them via live chat you could confirm your Country and if there's anything to be selected.
give up and. call ionos. less bs
Really good tutorial, thanks for posting. Quick question; I understand having an Ionos web hosting package. Do I also need a paid account with Elementor?
Thank you! You’re welcome. The Elementor free account should be just fine for most. It’s what I use in my tutorials.
Which one to buy website builder plan or shared hosting plan , cause i have followed everything u did on your video but i never seen where to create website using WordPress
Shared hosting plan is perfect for building a site with WordPress. Do you have a domain name purchased with IONOS or somewhere else?
jesus h christ!!! call ionos. video is a waste of time
Appreciate the feedback!
great video thank you
You’re welcome!
Once you site is built using the web builder, is it possible to make a backup of that site?
Greetings! Here's how to make a backup of the site per IONOS backup article: Obtain the free backup software HTTrack by visiting the manufacturer's website. Install HTTrack on your computer.

I've used that software in the past. The problem with it is that you can't restore your website if you have problems.
I found this from IONOS that might be helpful:
Access your IONOS account and navigate to the Hosting section.
If you have multiple hosting contracts, choose the one you wish to work with.
Inside the Webspace section, click on the gear icon and opt for the File Recovery feature.

Does IONOS have option, where we just select a ready Ecommerce template and edit the name and info, and its just ready for use?
The IONOS website builder would be good for this. You can pick out a theme and change the text quickly. I'll have a IONOS website builder tutorial coming out soon.
Is IONOS beginner / non-coder friendly?
Greetings! Absolutely! The IONOS website builder is the easiest way to create your site. In this tutorial, I use WordPress which you don’t need to know code using Elementor page builder.
What size dpi would you recommend to import images.
I recommend 72 DPI for uploading images to WordPress.
Worked for me
Happy to hear it worked for you!
I have additional domain i bought from ionos did i get hosting with it too ?? cuz i dont see any hosting option in dashboard or anywhere
Greetings! To get IONOS hosting you have to purchase one of its hosting plans. Just purchasing a domain name alone doesn't come with IONOS hosting service.

Can you add videos to the website along with photos?
Absolutely! You can add both.

The same steps for video, you'd just drag over video where you want the video. To embed a video you can embed it by dragging over Custom HTML and copying the video embed code.
Someone should have checked the data printed on starter 6$ a month.
You said unlimited websites but the printed statement clearly said 10 websites.
Thanks for letting us know! IONOS updated the plans right before this and it used to be unlimited websites. Definitely should have been changed in the script. Not sure how that made it past me. Will be changed for all future tutorials.
thats called bait and switch
How can I start over and re select a theme form elementor?
I recommend installing the free plugin WP Reset. You can reset WordPress so you can start over and re-select a theme from Elementor. You can also in the WordPress dashboard just go to the Starter Templates and choose your new theme to replace the current one.
call ionos. video not clear
Appreciate the feedback!
My site format looks nothing like this. No “Wordpress”
But I have an E-commerce and it’s not user friendly. I feel stuck. And it’s $25 monthly

What about html/css editor ?
You can create your site via html and css and then upload your site to IONOS. I currently don’t have a tutorial on that but will this upcoming year.
@@wpcupidblog Thx u ! Its possible to use both ? CMS + HTML for one website ?
You're welcome! Yes, it is possible to use CMS + HTML for one website.@@CD-ir1mt
Does start plan has wordpress access on them and plungins
Yes, the start plan includes all of that!

So we need to buy WordPress hosting instead of IONOS to build website in word press or we have to buy both
Greetings! WordPress comes free with IONOS with its plans. For this tutorial, I used its popular shared hosting plans.
So, this is not a video about how to build a website; instead, it is a sales video, which is totally misleading. Just wasted my 5 mins.
Appreciate the feedback!

Greetings! I'd reach out to the customer support team regarding this to see why.
The domain is free for the first year but the second year the hosting plan increases
Appreciate the comment and explanation!
Web builder a joke don't bother go elsewhere.
Appreciate your feedback!
