STRATO alternative: Why you should rather rely on Raidboxes

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about STRATO alternatives

• What do customers complain about at STRATO?

  Many customers criticise STRATO’s support and reliability. It is particularly frequently criticised that customer service is slow to respond and does not always provide the necessary support. The performance of WordPress websites is often described as inadequate in testimonials – especially in terms of loading speed and stability. The user interface is also described as outdated and not very user-friendly and customers report that basic tasks (e.g. WordPress installation) do not always work smoothly and that the overall workflow is more complex than with other providers.

• What is the difference between STRATO and Raidboxes?

  STRATO and Raidboxes differ in several important aspects:

  • STRATO offers various hosting options for a broad target group, while Raidboxes focuses specifically on optimised WordPress hosting for agencies, WooCommerce shops and professional website operators.
  • Raidboxes relies on hosting with WordPress-optimised server infrastructure, while STRATO offers general web hosting. As a result, Raidboxes delivers better performance with fast loading times and stable websites.
  • Raidboxes is known for its fast and specialised WordPress support, while STRATO’s customer service is often characterised by slower response times and less specific solutions.
  • While STRATO’s user interface is described as outdated and unintuitive, Raidboxes offers a modern and clear dashboard designed to easily manage multiple WordPress websites.

• How much does WordPress hosting cost with Raidboxes?

  Raidboxes offers hosting packages 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.

• 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.
