Benefits of Using a Temporary Phone Number for 1&1
1&1, now known as IONOS, is a major European web hosting, domain registration, and cloud services provider. To create an account and manage your online presence, you must provide and verify a phone number for security. For any individual or business building a website, a virtual phone number is a key tool for professionalism and protection.
Secure Your Website and Digital Assets
Your IONOS account is the control center for your website, domains, and business email. A compromise could be devastating. Using a dedicated virtual number for registration adds a powerful layer of security. It makes it significantly harder for attackers to use phone-based account recovery methods to hijack your digital assets, protecting your online business from a potential disaster.
Separate Your Business from Personal Life
A virtual number allows you to establish a clear, professional boundary. You can use it as the official contact for your IONOS account, ensuring all service alerts, billing notifications, and support communications are sent to a dedicated business line. This keeps your personal phone free from work-related matters and helps you maintain an organized and professional workflow.
Protect Your Business from Targeted Spam
Once you register a domain or hosting service, your contact details can become a target for a wide range of B2B marketing, from SEO agencies to freelance web designers. A virtual number acts as a shield, protecting your primary business line from being inundated with unsolicited sales calls and emails, allowing you to focus on growing your business.

Yes, you can. SMSFAST allows you to rent multiple virtual numbers, meaning you can use a unique number for each 1and1 account.
First, double-check that you've copied the SMS code precisely as it appeared in your SMSFAST account and entered it correctly into 1and1. Also, ensure the number you used is still active and within its valid time frame.
