  • Card required on all offers; IONOS does a pre-auth at registration (useful $0/$1 auth-validation target).
  • Datacenter choice includes non-US (Frankfurt, Berlin, Logroño).
  • VPS = KVM + root; free Plesk Web Host Edition option.
  • Billing address and hosting IP geo do NOT need to match (their US IPs are Kansas City / Lenexa, AS8560 IONOS SE, 74.208.x.x range).

Login flow (my.ionos.com) — VERIFIED 2026-09-24

  1. https://my.ionos.com/login is a 404 — use https://my.ionos.com/ which redirects to https://login.ionos.com/?redirect_url=....
  2. Step 1: single-field "Customer ID, email address or domain" → Next.
  3. Step 2: mandatory email OTP — 6-digit code to account email (login.ionos.com/emailconfirmation).
  4. Step 3: password step DOES appear after OTP (login.ionos.com/password#) for at least some accounts — an earlier note claiming "no password step" was wrong. Full chain: email → OTP code → password → my.ionos.com/home/products.
  5. Error 500 on OTP submit does NOT burn the code: submitting the OTP can land on Error 500 ("this page cannot be accessed") while the status page says all systems normal; session is NOT established (my.ionos.com still redirects to login). Recovery that worked: restart the login from my.ionos.com/ and re-enter the SAME code — it was still valid on the second attempt. Only request a fresh code if the same one is rejected.
  6. Browser automation: chrome-devtools MCP works (fill + click by uid). Note: after password submit, panel may briefly redirect through ai-builder.ionos.com if an AI Builder project exists; my.ionos.com/websites/ navigation can timeout (10s default) — raise timeout to 30s for panel pages.

Control panel recon (logged in)

  • my.ionos.com/home/products — product overview; account name shown in "Welcome " heading.
  • my.ionos.com/home/add-product — full catalog of offers incl. free-trial buttons. Scrape with evaluate_script over a,h2,h3 filtering /server|vps|cloud|hosting|free|trial/i — returns tiles + promo stripes (this is how the IONOS Cloud "Start your free Trial" and AI Marketing Suite 3-months-free promos were found).
  • IONOS Cloud trial signup from inside the panel goes through an ias.ionos.com/ias/follow/CLICK?... tracking redirect to cloud.ionos.com/compute/signup — session may carry over from the main account.
  • Empty account (only AI Builder project) shows NO VPS in products list — VPS must be added via add-product catalog.

Account intel pattern

  • ip-api.com geo of their front IPs: [REDACTED-IP]/77 → Kansas City, MO, AS8560 IONOS SE.
  • AbuseIPDB/GreyNoise need API keys in env; skip gracefully if absent.
