Managing website projects in your IONOS account
Please use the “Print” function at the bottom of the page to create a PDF.
Your internet projects, whether websites or shops, are clearly displayed in your IONOS account under the menu item Websites & shops . In this overview, you can start new projects with your IONOS contracts or manage existing projects.
You can create the following website projects:
- IONOS Domain with an externally connected service, e.g. Wix or Facebook
- IONOS Domain that is connected to an IONOS webspace
- Domain with another hosting provider
Launch an IONOS website project
- Log in to your IONOS account.

- Click on the Create new website or shop button.
- Select the tile with the desired project type, e.g. WordPress for a content management system (CMS).
