📄 Editorial Review

Aruba is a veteran European provider founded in 1994 by Stefano Cecconi, evolving into a broad digital services group that spans cloud, data centers, web hosting, email, domains, PEC certified email, and trust services. They operate as a multi-brand ecosystem (including Actalis, FORPSI, Aruba Cloud/Cloud.it, Aruba Business, Aruba Enterprise, Nidoma, Pratiche.it, Aruba Domains, and more) and serve a very large base: about 16 million users, 2.7 million registered domains, 9.8 million email accounts, and 9 million PEC accounts. They also act as the Official Registry for the .cloud TLD (with registrations available since 2016), reinforcing a deep footprint in internet infrastructure.

The portfolio is extensive. Under Hosting & Domains, they offer Linux, Windows, and combined Linux+Windows shared hosting, WordPress hosting (self-managed and fully managed, including managed WooCommerce), email plans, e-commerce/sitebuilder via SuperSite, and web-marketing with rankingCoach. Cloud products include Cloud VPS, Cloud PRO, Virtual Private Cloud, Hybrid Cloud, Object Storage, Cloud Backup, and Monitoring. Data Center Solutions cover dedicated servers, housing/colocation, racks, managed services, disaster recovery, and business continuity. They also deliver trust and digital services such as PEC certified email, SPID, digital signatures, e-invoicing, time stamping, smart cards, and a comprehensive certificate stack via Actalis.

On the hosting side, Linux plans emphasize unlimited web space and traffic, pre-installed DV SSL, SSD storage, HTTP/2/HTTP/3, HiSpeed Cache, daily checks, IDS/anti-DDoS, automatic backups, and Softaculous for easy CMS installation. Windows hosting adds .NET (3.5/4.8), IIS 10.0, MSSQL 2022, and .NET Core support. The Linux + Windows plan offers dual web spaces and "double pointing" to leverage both environments. WordPress and Managed WordPress/WooCommerce options focus on performance, security, daily backups, staging, and an AI assistant for content workflows. Beyond core hosting, they sell Microsoft 365, domain-based email bundles, SuperSite for no-code site building, rankingCoach for SEO/local marketing/ads, and a growing cybersecurity catalog (WAF/CDN, anti-DDoS, VAPT, EDR/MDR, CLM, and full certificate lifecycle).
