Why Raidboxes?
The decision phase
“We didn’t take long to decide on a hosting provider. We first came across Raidboxes thanks to a strong recommendation from alpin.online and Florian Hammer – two partners whose expertise and experience we hold in high regard.
“We therefore did not consider any other hosting providers, as we had great confidence in the recommendation and Raidboxes met all our requirements.”
Ready to go
The migration to Raidboxes
“As launching with Raidboxes involved a complete rebuild of our website, there was no traditional migration in the technical sense. Instead, we were able to build on a clean, high-performance foundation right from the start. Nevertheless, we did face a few challenges – particularly with regard to the site’s multilingual capabilities and performance optimisation, as we place great importance on fast loading times. Thanks to Raidboxes’ flexible environment and the support of our partner Florian Hammer, however, the build process went smoothly and efficiently overall.”
How it is today
Solution and improvements by Raidboxes
- Excellent website performance
- Extremely fast and straightforward backup and restore
- Technical support for multilingualism
- Intuitive operation saves time when updating content
“The security and speed offered by Raidboxes are a real game-changer for us. I particularly appreciate the expert support team, who are always quick to respond when we have any queries. And to be honest: it just works. That, quite simply, is the greatest compliment you can pay a hosting system.”
We are completely satisfied with Raidboxes: our website is significantly faster, which is extremely important, particularly for mobile users. The multilingual functionality works seamlessly, which supports our international ambitions. Content can be managed easily and efficiently. This is a major advantage for both us and our users. And last but not least: the information on dealing with avalanches and snow-related risks is used internationally and has been well received. This shows that our project not only works from a technical perspective, but also makes an impact in terms of content.
So, if you’re still in two minds: with Raidboxes – and, in our case, the support of web designer Florian Hammer – you’re definitely making the right choice.”
A look into the future
Shared outlook
There are still a number of plans in the pipeline for the future: further language versions may be added to make our preventative knowledge accessible to even more people – including those beyond the Alpine region. Discussions are also currently under way as to whether and how the entire project can be expanded. Whilst concrete decisions are still pending, one thing is clear: Raidboxes remains a reliable hosting partner that we can count on for every step forward.
