Microsoft 365 Business

The transition from Office 365 to Microsoft 365 is straightforward — same plans, same prices, just a new name. Here's what changed:

• Microsoft 365 Business Basic (formerly Office 365 Business Essentials)

• Microsoft 365 Business Standard (formerly Office 365 Business Premium)

Microsoft 365 still includes everything you relied on in Office 365 — Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, cloud storage, and advanced security — plus ongoing updates so you always have the latest version. If you already have an Office 365 subscription with IONOS, no action is needed. Your plan will simply appear as Microsoft 365 in your IONOS dashboard and bills.

A Microsoft 365 subscription gives you access to the full suite of Microsoft Office apps — including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook — for a simple monthly fee.

Instead of buying a one-time license and falling behind on updates, your subscription keeps every app current automatically. That means you always have the latest features and the most up-to-date security protection against viruses and malware. You can access your documents, emails, and files from any device — desktop, browser, or mobile — so your office goes wherever you do.

Microsoft 365 Business plans from IONOS start at $1/month, making it one of the most affordable ways to access the full Microsoft Office suite. Unlike a traditional one-time Office purchase, Microsoft 365 is a monthly subscription — so there's no large upfront cost, no need to buy upgrades, and no time spent manually installing new versions. Updates happen automatically, keeping your software current and secure at all times.

Microsoft 365 Business is suited to businesses of all sizes — from solo entrepreneurs to larger teams — as well as individuals who need a reliable, professional office solution. And with IONOS's 24/7 expert support included, you're never on your own if you need help getting set up.

With IONOS, you get both — a full online version accessible from any browser, and a downloadable desktop version you can install on up to five devices.

The online version lets you work from any computer without needing to install anything. The desktop version works even without an internet connection, so you can keep working offline whenever you need to.

Your subscription also includes the Microsoft 365 mobile apps for Android and iOS, giving you access to your documents, spreadsheets, and emails on up to five mobile devices as well.
