FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Why does Strato require 12-month contracts?
Standard German retail model. We think customers should choose monthly if they stay — hence our month-to-month cancellation.
Who is faster for NL visitors?
Strato runs DE-only DCs (~25ms to NL); we have NL + DE (~5ms). In practice: we are ~20ms faster for Dutch visitors.
