✔ Strato 评论

Founded in 1997 (by Marc-Alexander Ulrich and Norbert Stangl, former managing director of 1&1 Internet), Strato is a hosting provider with many years of experience in the industry. They are part of the United Internet Group. Many consider it to be one of the largest companies that provides hosting solutions as they are currently hosting over 4 million domains. Strato has been an eco-friendly company ever since 2008 powered by Naturstrom AG.

The company offers the following web hosting solutions:

• Shared Hosting;
• VPS Hosting;
• Cloud Hosting;
• Dedicated Servers;
• Managed Servers;
• Email Hosting;
• Domain Registration;
• Website Builder;

Shared hosting plans are protected by SSL certificates and include support for people working with Python or Ruby. All plans include e-mail accounts, databases and domains, but unlike other companies which offer such features in unlimited amounts, they offer them in limited amounts here.

VPS servers run on connections that can reach 100 Mbit/s and unlimited data traffic. All plans include backup control, full root access, clusterIP (failover IP). These are also configured to be docker ready (customers can manage programs in containers for easy app deployment).

Dedicated servers run on robust Intel processors and provide customers with storage options (HDD/SSD). Connections can reach up to 1 Gbit/s as dedicated servers are optimized for high performance. You also get root access and OS management (Linux distributions).

Customers can benefit from monthly or annual billing cycles. There are also promotions where customers can pay a specific fee which modifies to the regular rate over a month or three months. The company offers standard prices for the hosting industry and starting prices are attractive. However, many of these plans include a setup fee. This means that prices can go up very easily, so if we compare Strato to other hosting companies, their prices can be slightly higher than what other providers offer.

They are a risk-free company as they provide the classic 30-day money-back guarantee.

The company does not provide a specific uptime rate.

The headquarters of the company are located in Berlin, Germany. They own 2 data centers in Berlin and Karlsruhe. These house over 70,000 servers and are ISO 27001 certified. Data centers are powered by battery-backed power supplies and there is data mirroring between the data centers.

Active 24/7, the company provides support via e-mail or phone, and they can even be contacted on social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn).
Customers can also go to their YouTube channel to watch videos on various topics or access their help section where they can find frequently asked questions and thus, solutions to problems they might encounter

Strato offers customers the possibility to control their servers through Plesk.

Strato is a German-based hosting provider, a member of the United Internet Group that provides a wide range of hosting solutions.

They offer good prices and the standard 30-day money-back guarantee, but their renewal rates and the setup fee can increase their prices, so their products might be more expensive than what other providers offer.

Powered by two data centers based in Germany and working with Plesk, Strato manages to offer great hosting packages for customers that want to run an online business.
