Henry Massey

Managing Director

LevelUp Networks
‘It’s the reliability of the IONOS Cloud that convinced me to move more services to IONOS. We haven’t had any issues with the IONOS service. We get the reliability, pricing and transparency we need.’

Matias Garcia-Verdous

MD and Founder

Buchanan Computing
‘I hope that our clients will use the systems more and more. We know we can use the scalability in IONOS Cloud Managed Kubernetes to meet their expectations. We won’t have to scurry around building new servers just to try to keep ahead of everyone. We’ll also be able to develop more sophisticated products because we’ll be able to spend more time on development, and it’s much easier to deploy.’

Robin Morrison

Director – Technical Development

Qmulus Solutions
‘We generally describe IONOS as a low-cost, high-value provider. Obviously, IONOS is a well-known hosting provider. They’re building a new data centre near us, which shows there is a big investment in the platform in the UK and there is confidence internally in the business. There is a large customer base that is confident in the business, too, because that’s driving the need for more storage and more data centres.’
