📄 Editorial Review

Area IT is a Latvian hosting company operated by SIA "Area IT", established on May 21, 2009 and based in Riga. The company focuses mainly on managed website hosting and related Internet services, with a portfolio covering Shared Hosting, Business Hosting, WordPress Hosting, E-commerce Hosting, Email Hosting, domain registration and transfers, SSL certificates, website-building tools, website migration, malware removal and custom ERP development.

Area IT remains a relatively small local provider. Latvian corporate information for 2025 records three employees, net sales of €411,111 and net profit of €11,108. Its hosting operation is highly automated, while technical support remains available around the clock. The company is also an official NIC.LV registrar and received a NIC.LV regiSTAR award in 2016.

Standard hosting is divided into MINI, BASIC and PREMIUM. MINI includes 10 GB NVMe SSD storage and supports up to five domains. BASIC increases capacity to 50 GB and 15 domains, while PREMIUM provides 200 GB and allows unlimited hosted domains. All three plans use cPanel and LiteSpeed, include free SSL certificates and daily backups, and provide unlimited email accounts, DNS management, SSH access and unlimited FTP accounts.

The hosting environment supports PHP, MySQL with phpMyAdmin, Node.js, Python, Perl, CGI and Cron. Softaculous is available for one-click WordPress and application installation, making the service suitable for both manually developed sites and customers using common CMS platforms.

CloudLinux isolates hosting accounts and defines clear resource allocations. MINI receives 150% CPU, 2 GB RAM and up to 250,000 inodes. BASIC increases this to 200% CPU, 2.5 GB RAM and 500,000 inodes, while PREMIUM provides 250% CPU, 3 GB RAM and 750,000 inodes. Standard hosting allows individual MySQL databases of up to 1 GB and up to 2,000 tables per database.

Business Hosting targets websites that require substantially more resources than conventional shared hosting while retaining a fully managed cPanel environment. BUSINESS Plus includes 400% CPU, 4 GB RAM and 200 GB NVMe storage. BUSINESS Advanced increases this to 600% CPU, 8 GB RAM and 250 GB NVMe, while BUSINESS PRO reaches 800% CPU, 12 GB RAM and 300 GB NVMe. The corresponding inode allowances are one million, two million and three million files.

The Business plans support Redis Object Caching and increase the maximum individual MySQL database size to 3 GB. They are a practical choice for busier WordPress installations, WooCommerce stores and database-heavy websites that need more processing power without moving to a server environment requiring separate system administration.

WordPress Hosting combines NVMe storage with LiteSpeed and LSCache, one-click installation, daily backups and security protection. Redis is available with the larger configurations, helping dynamic WordPress and WooCommerce websites reduce repeated database work.

Hosting plans also include Extendify AI, allowing a WordPress website to be generated from a business description. Customers can additionally use Sitejet Builder and Weebly through the client environment, providing several different approaches to creating a website without starting from an empty installation.

E-commerce Hosting uses the same performance-oriented infrastructure and is suitable for WooCommerce and other open-source shopping platforms. LiteSpeed, NVMe storage, Redis caching on suitable plans and the larger Business resource allocations are particularly useful for stores with dynamic product pages, checkout activity and heavier database usage.

Email Hosting uses the MINI, BASIC and PREMIUM hosting packages rather than a separate mail-server product. Customers can create unlimited domain-based email accounts and use forwarding, spam filtering and antivirus protection, with mailbox content consuming the available hosting storage.

Security includes free SSL certificates for hosted domains, regular server maintenance and malware protection. Shared hosting uses CPGuard, while selected WordPress, Business and e-commerce configurations also use Imunify360.

Area IT additionally provides a malware-removal service for compromised WordPress, Joomla, PrestaShop and similar websites hosted on its infrastructure. The service covers malicious file and database cleanup, hidden-account removal, password changes and post-cleanup verification. A 30-day malware-removal guarantee applies after the cleanup work.

Domain services cover Latvian and international extensions including .LV, .COM, .EU, .NET and .CO.UK. Domain transfers can be managed from the same customer account as hosting, making it possible to keep hosting, domains and billing under one administration interface.

Every hosted domain can use a free SSL certificate, while commercial DV, OV, EV and Wildcard certificates are also available. The paid certificate range includes RapidSSL and GeoTrust products.

Website migration is included for WordPress, WooCommerce and other open-source websites. Files, databases and, where necessary, email and domain configuration can be transferred without a separate migration charge. Transfers can be coordinated for lower-traffic hours to reduce disruption.

Area IT also develops modular ERP systems with API integration, GPS/GIS functionality and AI/ML components, extending its business beyond traditional hosting into custom software development.

The website is available in Latvian, English and Russian, and customer support is available in the same three languages. Hosting and domain prices use EUR.
