Introduction to IONOS Evolution
1&1 IONOS is now IONOS Evolution, not revolution — from January 2020, we will be known as IONOS. We will continue to be the 1&1 brand you know, but with a new logo that better represents the innovation, reliability, and experience you expect.
Checking Domain Availability
To check if a domain name is available, just type it in GoDaddy’s search bar and we’ll tell you immediately if someone else already owns it. If it’s taken, you can search for your domain name using our WHOIS Lookup.
Finding Domain Owner
To begin, open your browser and go to ICANN. Now, in the search box, enter the domain name that you want to search for. Click on ‘Lookup’ and the search will begin. You will now get details about the domain registration date, registry expiration, owner’s name, and mailing address.
Importance of Domain Privacy and Protection
This can be a problem, especially for business owners, as most data breaches are financially motivated. Domain privacy protection is one way to secure the personal data connected to your domain. Even though it adds a bit to your website hosting costs, the security value it offers is definitely worth the money.
Location of 1&1 Internet
