Raidboxes 2.0 - Everything you need to know

Here you will always find the latest information about Raidboxes 2.0 and our new server infrastructure.

Written by Jan Hornung

We are very excited to announce the launch of our new server infrastructure Raidboxes 2.0 🎊 In this article we explain what's important for the launch day of the new servers, how you can benefit from the new servers as quickly as possible and what changes you can expect.

Advantages of the Raidboxes 2.0 infrastructure

Increased performance

  • Significant performance boost for all newly created or already migrated Boxes.

  • Doubling of resource allocation on the new server structure:

    • Starter and Fully Managed Boxes run with 2 cores and 4 GB RAM

    • Pro Boxes with 4 cores and 8 GB RAM

Improved security

  • Introduction of DDoS protection to defend against attacks

  • New Exploit Detector checks new pages for suspicious scripts and files

  • New Raidboxes Security Shield automatically protects each box with a web application firewall

Scalability and flexibility

  • Advanced configuration options for growing business needs

  • Simple scaling: plan changes between Mini and Enterprise plans are seamless and possible without cloning - i.e. without changing IP addresses

Further advantages of the Raidboxes 2.0 infrastructure

  • The dedicated staging environment no longer shares resources with the live site - a live push of your changes is still possible with one click.

  • The new infrastructure supports .htaccess files - this allows you to customise, e.g. redirects and directory protection. (Help Center article)

  • Better performance in the WP dashboard: Thanks to further optimisations, we were able to make the WordPress dashboard load up to ten times faster than before.

  • With the Varnish Cache, we have a powerful cache that works before the actual web server and can therefore increase the load tolerance of the website - especially for highly frequented pages.

  • With advanced caching , only the edited page is cleared from the cache - there is no longer a complete cache purge. This is a great advantage, especially for large sites and shops.

👍 Especially important for you: Prices will not change with the introduction of the new data center. The tiered prices for customers and the partner discounts for agencies also remain unchanged.
