*📜 Plan description

Starter upgrades the Mini box with more resources for growing projects and small company sites. With 2 vCores and 4 GB RAM, plus 10 GB of SSD storage, there is noticeably more headroom for page builder sites, richer themes and moderate traffic spikes. Dynamic Plus can be booked as an option to activate Redis object caching and extend the Varnish cache, which improves the performance of complex WordPress pages and online campaigns. The introductory price of 11.00 EUR per month is based on annual billing with a 50 percent discount for the first term, the regular monthly cost after the promotion is 22.00 EUR. Starter is suitable when you outgrow very small hosting but are not yet ready for the Pro and high traffic line.

All Raidboxes managed WordPress plans run on a WordPress only stack in ISO 27001 certified data centres in Germany with a 99.99% uptime target, automatic daily backups, server side caching, free Lets Encrypt SSL, staging and cloning tools and hardened security at the platform level. The infrastructure is powered by 100 percent green electricity and each website plants a tree, while the in house dashboard centralises box management, monitoring, migrations and updates. WordPress specialists are accessible via live chat, email, phone and tickets every day of the year (typically from 08:00 to 22:00) so that you can get fast help in German or English when performance or security questions arise. Free test phases between 4 and 14 days let you try the platform without risk and resources scale from small blogs to demanding high traffic projects with dedicated vCores, Redis and extended Varnish cache on the larger plans.

📄 Editorial Review

Raidboxes is a specialist managed WordPress host based in Münster, Germany, operating under the legal entity Raidboxes GmbH. The entire platform revolves around WordPress and WooCommerce rather than generic shared hosting or multi-CMS environments. Instead of selling classic cPanel or Plesk space, they provide isolated "Boxes" – each Box is a dedicated WordPress instance with its own vCPU, RAM and SSD allocation, tuned specifically for performance and reliability.

The company traces its roots back to 2014, when the first prototype of the platform was built, and was officially launched as Raidboxes GmbH in 2016. Over the years they have grown into a team of around 60+ employees serving more than 17,000 customers (as of 2024). In 2022 they became part of the team.blue group, which gives them the backing of a larger European hosting group while still operating under the Raidboxes brand from Germany. They also have a strong sustainability and culture focus: they are a certified B Corporation, align with common good economy standards, and build a lot of their positioning around ethical, environmentally conscious hosting.

The core of the product portfolio is managed WordPress hosting in several tiers, from small blogs up to high-traffic enterprise projects and large shops:
  • Entry and mid-range "Box" plans such as Mini, Starter and Fully Managed target small and medium WordPress sites, blogs and simple company pages. These already include SSD storage, integrated caching, daily automatic backups, free SSL, staging, and access via SFTP, SSH (with WP-CLI and Git) and database tools.
  • Higher plans such as Pro, Pro XL, Business, Business XL, Business XXL, Enterprise and Enterprise XL increase the number of dedicated vCores (up to 36 vCores) and RAM (up to 64 GB), plus larger SSD quotas. These are meant for heavier WooCommerce shops, magazines, portals and high-traffic sites, with dedicated CPU on many tiers, advanced caching and options like the Dynamic+ add-on (Redis object cache + extended Varnish cache).
  • There is a strong focus on high-traffic WordPress and WooCommerce hosting: the platform highlights vServer technology, server-side caching, "Performance Burst" for short-term traffic spikes, and specific tuning for shops and dynamic sites, including DDoS protection, WAF, exploit detection and a "Security Shield" that continuously filters malicious traffic and vulnerable requests.

Beyond the hosting itself, they offer WordPress-centric supporting services:
  • Email hosting: three plans (Mail Mini, Starter, Pro) with 3–25 mailboxes and 3–25 GB storage, IMAP, spam and virus filtering, optional PGP encryption, SSL/TLS transport and ad-free mailboxes. Mail servers are located in Germany, with redundant mail infrastructure and daily backups.
  • Domain registration & management: WordPress-oriented domain buying and transfer, with a domain checker integrated into the site and pricing starting at roughly €1 per month for popular TLDs like .de, .com or .at, billed annually.
  • Add-ons and tools like extra SSD storage, additional staging environments with independent backups, Performance+ by FastPixel, and the AI Site Assistant / AI website builder for faster WordPress project setup.
  • A partner & reseller ecosystem focused on agencies and freelancers: bulk discounts (up to around 40% for multiple sites), an agency-oriented WordPress dashboard, partner program and affiliate options. This is more of a WordPress reseller/agency model than a classic WHM reseller hosting product, but functionally it fills a similar role for WordPress professionals.

A major part of their identity is "Green WordPress hosting". All infrastructure is operated with 100% renewable electricity (hydropower / green energy), they plant a tree for every hosted website through Eden Reforestation projects, and they invest in additional CO₂ offset initiatives in cooperation with Greenspark. The datacenter stack is described as climate-neutral and certified under multiple environmental and security standards (ISO 14001, 22301, 27001, 50001, PCI DSS, SOC 2 Type II). This makes Raidboxes particularly interesting for agencies, NGOs, and companies that explicitly care about sustainability and want a "green" supplier in their digital stack.

In previous years, RAIDBOXES maintained a broader set of website localizations (for example, French, Dutch, and Italian). At present, they appear to offer only German and English, indicating a narrowing of their multilingual footprint.

This reduction can reasonably be interpreted as a strategic consolidation of localization efforts—i.e., concentrating resources on the languages most closely aligned with their core demand and operational priorities. While it may reflect a pragmatic focus on essential markets, it also implies a lower emphasis on actively courting customers through additional country-specific language experiences.


Overall, the platform is closer to a vertical WordPress cloud than to a generalist web host. For users who specifically run WordPress or WooCommerce, that specialisation translates into a tight tooling ecosystem (staging, cloning, templates, WP-CLI, Git, integrated backups and caching) and a support team that deals with WordPress all day long. For anyone needing other stacks (custom PHP apps, Node, email-only hosting, Windows, VPS with root control, colocation etc.), Raidboxes is not the right fit – this is intentionally WordPress-only hosting.
