📄 Editorial Review

Founded in 2009, Keliweb is an Italian hosting provider with a strong compliance and sustainability posture. They hold ISO 9001, ISO 27001, ISO 27017, ISO 27018, and ISO 14001 certifications, operate on renewable energy, and run their own Tier-IV–classified DC2 datacenter in Rende (Calabria). The site is available in Italian and (partly) English, which helps them serve both local and international customers.

Keliweb’s catalog is broad and aimed at everyone from first-time site owners to agencies and larger businesses. Core offerings include Shared/Web Hosting, Managed WordPress, Cloud Hosting (semi-dedicated), VPS, Dedicated Servers, Email/PEC, Domains, SSL, plus platform-specific hosting for Joomla, PrestaShop, Magento, and e-commerce. They also provide Cloud Backup (Acronis) and a PaaS "Cloud Applications" layer (based on Jelastic) for containerized and developer stacks.

• Shared Hosting (Linux & Windows): Linux packages include automatic backups, a free domain (select TLDs), SSL, site builder, Node.js, SSH, and Imunify360 malware/WAF protection. Windows hosting supports ASP.NET (up to .NET 8/9 as stated), MSSQL, MySQL, Perl, Python, PHP, and ASP—useful for Microsoft-centric stacks. This tier fits blogs, brochures, and small stores needing easy management and strong baseline security.
• Managed WordPress: Plans add automatic core/plugin/theme/PHP updates, staging, hourly/daily backups with up to 28-day retention, Security Shield (SQL injection, brute-force, Geo/IP blocks, malware scan), performance monitoring (on higher tiers), and an AI assistant to scaffold designs and content. This is a "hands-off" WordPress stack for agencies and SMBs that favor convenience and ongoing maintenance.
• Cloud Hosting (semi-dedicated): Targets higher-traffic sites that outgrow shared. It includes dedicated resources, LiteSpeed + LSCache (with ESI, crawler, server-side cache), multisite via cPanel, 24-hour automatic backups, MultiPHP, and a dedicated IP + SSL. It’s a simpler alternative to VPS when users want performance without managing servers.
• VPS Hosting: Runs atop Keliweb’s cloud platform with HA, KVM access, admin/root control, unlimited traffic at 100 Mbit/s, Cloud Backup option, and security hardening (port filtering, Synflood and Anti-DDoS). Plans are scalable up or down, activated quickly, and available as managed for those who want Keliweb to oversee the instance.
• Dedicated Servers: Deployed typically within ~48 hours, fully customizable (CPU/RAM/disk), Linux or Windows, with remote reboot, Italian dedicated IP, optional Cloud Backup/DR, and Anti-DDoS. They are suited for mission-critical apps or consolidating multiple VMs/containers.
• Email & PEC: KeliMail provides cPanel-managed mail with daily backups, autoresponders, mailing lists, antispam/antivirus, and IMAP/POP/SMTP. Server Mail Pro adds a dedicated IP, unlimited accounts/sends, and enterprise-grade filtering (SpamAssassin, DKIM, SPF, greylisting, allow/deny lists)—handy for newsletters and transactional email. KeliPEC (certified email) offers legally recognized communications within Italy.
• Cloud Backup (Acronis): An add-on for servers/endpoints supporting automatic, incremental, and scheduled backups (with anti-ransomware), daily versioning up to 30 days, GDPR-aligned privacy, and restore workflows via a dedicated panel.
• Cloud Applications (PaaS): A developer-friendly layer (Java, PHP, Ruby, Python, Node.js, Docker) with automatic vertical/horizontal scaling, pay-per-use billing, one-click stacks, and simple orchestration—useful for agencies and complex apps wanting elasticity without full DevOps overhead.
