📄 Editorial Review

STRATO (founded in 1997 by Marc-Alexander Ulrich and Norbert Stangl) is a long-standing European host within the United Internet/IONOS Group. They position themselves as a fair, simple and affordable provider with a very broad catalog and a strong emphasis on compliance, sustainability, and security. They report 2M+ customer contracts, 4M+ managed domains, and 100k+ physical/virtual servers hosted in TÜV-certified facilities in Germany and the EU. Since 2008, their data centers have run on 100% green power and are managed under ISO 50001 energy management.

• Shared Hosting & WordPress. Web hosting bundles domains (1–6 included depending on tier), email, SSL, SSD storage, MySQL/MariaDB, HTTP/2, one-click app installs (WordPress/Joomla/Typo3/Drupal), GDPR-compliant operations, BackupControl restores, and DDoS protection. WordPress plans add AI-assisted site creation, automated updates/security, and WooCommerce presets.
• VPS / V-Server (Linux). KVM-based virtual servers with full root, Plesk Web Admin Edition included (higher Plesk tiers optional), 1 IPv4, IPv6 ready, unmetered traffic, up to 1 Gbps port, rescue console, upstream firewall options, Docker-ready images (Ubuntu/Debian/Rocky/Alma), and location choice in Germany/Spain/France during checkout.
• Dedicated & Managed Servers. Current-gen hardware with NVMe, optional managed layer, SSL included, and performance SKUs (higher core/RAM/IOPS) aimed at big data, streaming, and ecommerce workloads.
  Business Solutions. Custom/managed hosting and cloud through Cronon GmbH (a STRATO subsidiary) with consulting, security, and operations kept exclusively in Germany.
• Email, Domains, Website Builder, SSL, HiDrive. Domains (with Anycast DNS), ad-free email with webmail/IMAP, an AI-assisted website builder, Sectigo SSL choices, and HiDrive (large-scale cloud storage) round out the portfolio. Account access supports 2-factor authentication.

STRATO suits EU-focused customers who prioritize German/EU hosting, certifications, green energy, and a "one-shop" catalog—from simple sites to managed servers.
