Strattic alternative
Short version: Strattic was a well-known hosted static WordPress® service. Elementor bought it in 2022 and ended its static hosting on 1 January 2025, moving customers to Elementor Hosting, which runs normal (not static) WordPress. As of 24 October 2026, strattic.com redirects to Elementor's hosting page. If you want what Strattic did, a static public site with WordPress kept out of public view, these are the options.

What to check when you switch
- Forms. Strattic handled forms for you. Make sure your new service does, or use a form service.
- Who hosts WordPress. Some services host it for you; WranglePress keeps it where it is and makes it private.
- Publishing. Do pages update automatically, or does someone have to click a button?
- Your web addresses. Every page should keep its address so search rankings carry over.
If you're moving from Elementor Hosting back to static, WranglePress works with Elementor sites: we copy the finished pages Elementor produces.
