The short answer
The registry records IONOS Web Hosting & Domains (1&1) as a possible interpretation of IONOS* 1AND1. This descriptor-to-company association has not passed claim-level evidence review. Compare the exact line, amount and posted status with your own receipt or account activity; the name alone cannot confirm the merchant or whether you authorized the payment.

The notes below are unreviewed registry explanations, not confirmation of merchant identity, authorization or current policy. Claim-level source review is pending for this entry.
Why it shows up like this
Unreviewed registry note: When you see IONOS* 1AND1 on your bank or credit card statement, the charge originates from IONOS Inc. (formerly known as 1&1 Internet), a global web hosting company, cloud server provider, and domain name registrar serving millions of business websites.
Unreviewed registry note: This charge typically appears because an ongoing web hosting subscription, business email package, or domain renewal automatically renewed. Many customers sign up for promotional rates that cost as little as one dollar per month during the first year, and when that introductory period expires, accounts automatically transition to standard non-promotional pricing.
