Raidboxes 2.0: New servers, double the power and more!

Raidboxes 2.0 increases performance with twice the server performance, optimized container architecture and advanced caching. Live and staging also use separate resources.

• More performance: CPU & RAM (Update)

  Probably the most important new feature is the significant performance boost for all Mini, Starter, Fully Managed and Pro Boxes, which have twice the resources available on the new servers. Dedicated vCores are available from Pro XL upwards.

  With the adapted virtualization environment and the addition of RAM, your website will definitely have enough computing power at its disposal. In addition, the PHP memory limit will be raised so that your scripts do not abort or cannot be fully executed due to insufficient memory.

  Here’s what you can look forward to:

  • Mini: 1 vCore, 2 GB RAM
  • Starter: 2 vCores, 4 GB RAM
  • Fully Managed: 2 vCores, 4 GB RAM
  • Pro: 4 vCores, 8 GB RAM
  • Pro XL: 4 vCores (dedicated CPU), 8 GB RAM
  • Business: 6 vCores (dedicated CPU), 12 GB RAM
  • Business XL: 8 vCores (dedicated CPU), 16 GB RAM
  • Business XXL: 12 vCores (dedicated CPU), 32 GB RAM
  • Enterprise: 24 vCores (dedicated CPU), 64 GB RAM
  • Enterprise XL: 36 vCores (dedicated CPU), 64 GB RAM

• Advanced caching based on Varnish (New)

  Our Varnish-based advanced caching allows you to selectively clear your website’s cache on a page-by-page basis. This is particularly important for large magazines and WooCommerce stores, as the cache of the rest of the website remains untouched and continues to deliver your content at lightning speed.

• Container architecture: Independent system per service (New)

  Thanks to the new container architecture, each service (web server, database, Varnish, etc.) now has its own independent system. This separation enables improved resource utilization, easier maintenance and better fault isolation. In addition, each service can be scaled and managed independently, which improves flexibility, resilience and scalability.

• No more shared resources for live site & staging (New)

  The container architecture also ensures that staging and the live website no longer share computing power with Raidboxes 2.0. Thanks to the staging environment’s own resources (CPU, RAM, SSD, etc.), the loading time and performance of your live website are no longer affected by staging. At the same time, the staging works as you know it from Raidboxes and allows a live push of your changes with one click.

• Dedicated CPU (New)

  With dedicated hardware/CPU cores, our high-traffic plans (from Pro XL) guarantee maximum performance as the cores are exclusively available to you. This means: no shared resources and always full computing power – regardless of whether you fully use them or not.

Even more secure: the brand-new security features

The new Raidboxes Security Shield is automatically included in all our Raidboxes 2.0 hosting plans (Mini – Pro) and protects your website. It monitors the incoming traffic on your website. Malicious bots, brute force attacks and DDoS attacks are detected and can be blocked at an early stage so that you can sleep soundly at night. The Raidboxes Security Shield includes the following features:

• Web Application Firewall (New)

  Our web application firewall monitors incoming traffic and blocks malicious requests and unwanted bots – for a website that is secure around the clock.

• Exploit Detector (New)

  Our new Exploit Detector monitors the network traffic and behavior of the Apache server, checks new pages for suspicious scripts and files, detects known and suspicious exploits and reports them to ensure the security of the server.

• DDoS Protection (New)

  Our new DDoS protection automatically fends off attacks by scanning sites for malicious traffic, limiting unauthorized visits and redirecting them away from the site. As a result, DDoS, DoS and brute force attacks are quickly detected and blocked.

Everything under control: manage projects even more easily

The .htaccess file can be edited on the new infrastructure – ideal for agencies and freelancers who want to implement specific requirements. In addition, upgrades without IP changes, improved database management with phpMyAdmin and a faster WordPress backend allow you to manage and use your website much more efficiently.

• .htaccess editable (New)

  If you want to use the .htaccess file, it can be edited on the new infrastructure. For example, you can store special bulk content and speed up your workflow. We only recommend this for experts. You can find instructions on how to do this in our Help Center.

• Database administration with phpMyAdmin (New)

  PhpMyAdmin replaces SQL Adminer and offers a more comprehensive user interface. With more functions and a better overview, it makes it easier to manage and organize your database. The extended search function, relational displays and extensive export/import options support more complex projects and make work more efficient.

• Faster WordPress backend (New)

  According to our measurements, the WordPress backend loads up to 10x faster on the new infrastructure. Convince yourself of the performance of your WordPress backend and frontend on our new servers and test Raidboxes for up to 14 days free of charge and 100% without obligation.
