To connect and publish your Webflow site to IONOS (1und1.de), you will need to follow these steps:

Export your Webflow site: First, you need to export your Webflow project as a static HTML site. In your Webflow dashboard, select the project you want to export, go to the Settings tab, and click on Export. Choose the Static HTML option and click on Export. Webflow will generate a ZIP file containing all the necessary files for your site.
Upload your site to IONOS: Sign in to your IONOS hosting account and navigate to the dashboard. Find the File Manager section and click on it. Create a new folder to store your website files. Open the newly created folder and click on the Upload button to upload the ZIP file you downloaded from Webflow. Once the file is uploaded, select it and choose Extract to unzip the contents.
Create a database: If your Webflow site requires a database, you will need to create one on IONOS. In your IONOS dashboard, go to the Databases section and create a new database. Take note of the database credentials (hostname, database name, username, and password).
Configure your website: You now need to configure your website to work with IONOS. If your site requires a database, open the unzipped folder and locate the config.php or wp-config.php file. Edit this file and update the database credentials with the information you obtained from IONOS. Save the changes.
Point your domain: If your domain is already registered with IONOS, you can skip this step. Otherwise, go to the IONOS control panel and navigate to the Domains section. Register or transfer your domain to IONOS if needed. Once your domain is set up, access the DNS Settings and add a CNAME record or update the A record to point to your new website. The specific instructions vary based on your domain registrar, so consult IONOS documentation for detailed guidance.
Publish your site: Finally, your Webflow site is ready to be published on IONOS. Open a web browser and enter your domain name. You should see your website live and accessible to the world.

By following these steps, you will be able to connect and publish your Webflow site to IONOS (1und1.de).
