📄 Editorial Review

ClameHost (Italy) Review — Tier-3 Facility, Milan MIX Connectivity, and Hands-On Managed Options

ClameHost positions itself as an infrastructure-first host: services run in its own server farm inside a GDPR-compliant, ISO/IEC 27001 data center with Tier III design. The facility’s architecture targets 99.982% data-center availability, and the network is tied directly into the Milan Caldera MIX campus, which helps with low-latency reach within Italy and across Europe. For small sites, busy shops, and custom stacks alike, the portfolio skews toward performance, security, and a human support model.

Infrastructure & Network

Connections to MIX are delivered over redundant, dedicated fiber with multipath routing. Storage is SSD-backed by default, which improves page rendering and database response. Electrical and network layers are fully redundant, so routine maintenance can occur without planned downtime. In short: the plumbing is there for quick page loads and predictable behavior during peak periods.

Core Hosting & Services

Linux & WordPress Hosting
Shared plans run on Linux with DirectAdmin, PHP selector (5.6/7.x/8.x), MySQL, and one-click installs via Softaculous (WordPress, Joomla, PrestaShop, Drupal and more). Daily and weekly backups are included, free SSL is a click away, and resource limits are sensible for most CMS workloads. WordPress sites can be migrated for free by their team.Reseller Hosting.

Reseller packages include white-label (anonymous nameservers, panel rebranding), off-site backups that don’t count against allocation, and the same DirectAdmin/PHP stack as retail hosting. This suits agencies that want to package hosting under their own brand without managing hardware.VPS & Dedicated (Managed).

For heavier use, ClameHost offers managed VPS and managed dedicated servers. Rather than fixed price cards, they quote to spec: the team handles provisioning, hardening, patching, monitoring, and backup configuration (local snapshots plus outsourced backups on request). An optional cPGuard add-on (fee-based) brings WAF rules, malware scanning/quarantine, abusive-IP blacklists, and anti-DDoS controls for Linux stacks.Specialty Lines
Beyond web hosting, they also advertise gaming servers, radio streaming & automation, VoIP switchboard services, PEC (certified email), and in-house web/app/SEO and managed IT assistance. That breadth makes them a practical one-vendor option for SMEs that prefer bundled services.

Note: they do not offer domain registration.

Security & DNS

Security is layered: WAF/IPS/Anti-DDoS, proactive monitoring of every device, and 24/7 oversight from the technical team. DNS is distributed across five global nodes with DNSSEC support to mitigate cache-poisoning and MITM risks. For managed servers, they also handle OS updates and hardening as part of the service.

Support, Uptime & Credits

Support is available 24/7 via ticket. Hosting plans carry a 99.9% uptime target, and if monthly availability falls below that mark, customers can request service credits. The underlying facility advertises 99.982% availability (Tier III) for power/network layers; in practice, real-world uptime often depends on the specific stack and application.

Control & Tooling

• Control panel: DirectAdmin
• Email: POP3/IMAP/SMTP with antivirus/antispam and responsive webmail
• Developer features: .htaccess, mod_rewrite, PHP extensions (GD, ionCube, mbstring), phpMyAdmin
• Backups: daily + weekly with one-click restores; off-site options for VPS/dedicated
• Softaculous: 400+ apps with guided installs and automatic database creation

Pricing & Purchasing Notes

Entry-level hosting is straightforward; VPS and dedicated follow a custom-quote model (hardware changes frequently, so they size and price to need). That’s ideal if a project benefits from tailored CPU/RAM/storage or a specific security posture, but it does mean you’ll request a quote rather than check a price grid.

What Could Be Better

• No published money-back guarantee. The SLA offers credits for sub-99.9% uptime, but there’s no explicit refund window.
• Quote-only for VPS/dedicated. Great for fit, less convenient for quick price comparisons.
• No domain registration. Projects will need a separate registrar.
• Missing English support
