Has STRATO raised its prices?
We haven't recorded a renewal price rise for STRATO since we started tracking its prices on 28 September 2026. We check each price regularly and date every change.
Is STRATO cheaper on a 48-month plan?
We don't have a 48-month price for any STRATO plan (checked 4 November 2026). The longest term we have is 12 months. Our 3-year costs use the cheapest way to buy each plan, so they already include any saving from a longer term.
Where do I find my EPP code at STRATO?
We couldn't find a public help article for this, so check your STRATO control panel or contact STRATO. For .uk domains there's no EPP code: you change the IPS tag instead. [4]
What about .uk and .co.uk domains?
.uk domains don't use an EPP code. You move them by changing the domain's IPS tag to your new registrar's tag, usually from your current registrar's control panel. [4] See .uk domains.
Can I leave STRATO before my plan renews?
Yes, you can move at any time. Your current host may not refund a term you've already paid for, so many people move shortly before their renewal date. Check your host's cancellation terms first.
Will my website go down while I switch?
No. We copy your site to your new host while your current one keeps running, and only switch your domain over once you've approved the new version.
Is the move really free?
Yes. When you switch to a host we recommend and buy it through our link, we cover the Serverlinx migration fee, worth up to £100. The host confirms your purchase to us automatically, so there's nothing to claim. Your quote shows exactly what's covered before you book.
