IONOS alternative: Why you should opt for Raidboxes

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about IONOS alternatives

• What do customers complain about with IONOS?

  Customers who have already switched from IONOS to us have often criticized the customer support and user-friendliness of the dashboard (source: Trustpilot). These customers perceived the support to be less responsive and helpful compared to other providers, which can be particularly problematic in the event of technical issues (source: Trustpilot). The IONOS dashboard was also described as confusing, making it difficult for beginners in particular to work efficiently (source: Trustpilot).

• What is the difference between IONOS and Raidboxes?

  IONOS and Raidboxes differ in several important aspects:

  • Raidboxes is known for its fast and specialised WordPress support, while IONOS is known for its long waiting times and less specific solutions.
  • IONOS is aimed at a broad range of users who require general web hosting, while Raidboxes specialises entirely in WordPress hosting and is particularly aimed at agencies, freelancers and professional website operators.
  • While the IONOS dashboard is considered complex and sometimes difficult to navigate, Raidboxes offers an intuitive and WordPress-focused dashboard that is specifically optimised for easy management of multiple WordPress sites.
  • Raidboxes offers high-performance managed WordPress hosting with optimised server infrastructure, while IONOS takes a more general web hosting approach that is less focused on WordPress.

• How much does WordPress hosting cost with Raidboxes?

  Raidboxes offers individual tariffs for smaller websites (Mini to Fully Managed), which are regularly priced between 15 and 35 euros. For medium-sized and large websites and shops, there are various Pro and Business tariffs through to Enterprise Hosting. Prices here start at 60 euros for the Pro tariff.

  In addition, there are volume discounts for customers who book several websites in the Starter plan as well as extra rates for WooCommerce shops. Agencies and freelancers benefit from attractive discounts and commissions with Reseller Hosting. There are also special high-traffic tariffs with particularly high performance for websites with a particularly high volume of visitors.

  If you are still unsure which tariff is right for you, please contact us via live chat or book a no-obligation consultation.

• How secure is Raidboxes hosting?

  Very secure! We rely on server-side solutions instead of additional plugins. Integrated features such as SSL, login protection and IP blocking as well as an SSH environment and automatic backups and updates minimise potential security risks. Your data is stored securely and 100% GDPR-compliant on German servers at all times. The Raidboxes Security Shield incl. Web Application Firewall and Exploit Detector protects your website from malicious bots, brute force attacks and DDoS attacks.

  You can find more information about security, data protection and more in our WordPress magazine.
