Founded some 20 years ago, Berlin-based Strato is a mammoth web hosting company which now manages 4,000,000 domains on more than 60,000 servers.
Exploring Strato’s plans is tricky, as they vary considerably between different countries, but we decided to ignore the relatively expensive UK-specific website and check out Strato.com instead.
The headline prices caught our attention right away. Hosting plans start at $0.49 (£0.38) a month for the first six months, and a guaranteed $0.99 (£0.77) a month after that.
There’s no obvious catch, either. You get a free domain, 15GB web space, a single database, a single FTP account and up to 500 email addresses. Bandwidth is unlimited, you only have to sign up for a year, and the price doesn’t leap on renewal. Yes, there are limits here, but nothing critical, and the account will be adequate for many people.
Strato’s other hosting plans have no extra features, and are just about lifting those limits. The Hosting Plus account, for instance, is $0.79 (£0.61) a month for the first year, $3.99 (£3.10) after that. This gets you 100GB of web space, 25 databases, 25 FTP accounts and up to 2,000 email addresses.
