📄 Editorial Review

Seeweb is an Italian cloud and hosting provider that has been active since 1998, with a profile much closer to an infrastructure and cloud specialist than to a budget shared host. They operate under Seeweb srl, based in Italy, and are part of the DHH Group (Dominion Hosting Holding), a Southern European hosting group listed on Euronext Growth Milan. Over the years they have grown around their own facilities and network, focusing on reliability, technical quality, and long-term continuity rather than chasing the lowest prices.

A key point is that Seeweb runs its own data centers in Milan and Frosinone, and extends its cloud presence to Switzerland (Lugano, Zurich) and Bulgaria (Sofia). All infrastructure remains in Europe, which is important for businesses that care about GDPR, data residency and EU regulatory frameworks. Their positioning as a "European cloud" is backed by concrete choices about where data physically lives and how it is handled.

On the product side, they cover the full spectrum from simple website hosting up to complex private cloud and colocation.
For classic websites and smaller projects there is Shared Hosting on both Linux and Windows. The standard plan allows multiple websites and domains (up to five), email hosting with 25 mailboxes, 10 GB of storage and several databases, plus the option to expand mail and disk with additional bundles. It is aimed at small and medium businesses that want a stable place to host corporate sites and email without dealing with the complexity of managing servers.

Above that sits Cloud Hosting, which targets heavier websites and small e-commerce projects. This uses a LAMP stack with cPanel, 50 GB full-flash SSD storage, up to five domains, up to ten MySQL databases, 5 GB of dedicated RAM, 800% guaranteed vCPU, around 1 TB of monthly traffic, daily backups and integrated DDoS and port-scan protection. In practice it behaves more like a strong single server instance for a handful of important sites than a typical oversold shared hosting account.

Their main infrastructure range starts with Cloud Server: high-availability virtual machines running on multi-core hardware with N+1 redundancy, full-flash SAN storage and 1 Gbps guaranteed bandwidth, with the option to go up to 10 Gbps on request. Resources (CPU, RAM, storage) are reserved, traffic is usually bundled, and everything is managed from a web interface that exposes power control, configuration and monitoring. The platform is designed to deliver uptime above 99.99%, with dual IPv4/IPv6, VLAN networking and 24/7/365 support. For more price-sensitive or non-production workloads there is Cloud Server Shared CPU, which lowers the cost by placing instances on shared CPU pools but keeps features like snapshot scheduling and reservation options. There are also variants like Cloud Server High Memory and specialized Cloud Server GPU and Cloud Server NPU plans for AI, machine learning and compute-heavy tasks.

For organizations that need full, isolated environments, Seeweb offers Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). This is essentially a private cloud where the customer defines hosts, RAM, CPU, storage and networking, and then runs as many VMs as needed on top. VPC runs on Proxmox VE Standard or VMware Cloud Foundation, uses all-flash storage with very low latency, includes public IP ranges, and can reach up to 10 Gbps of bandwidth with 1 Gbps guaranteed. It is clearly aimed at enterprises, public sector entities and larger resellers that need tight control, compliance and integration with existing IT processes.

On the dedicated side there are Foundation Server plans (including variants like Foundation Server Smart), which provide physical servers that can be integrated into more complex architectures, including external storage systems. For companies that prefer to house their own hardware, Seeweb offers Housing & Colocation in its Italian data centers, from partial shelf space to full racks, with the same power, connectivity and security features used for its cloud platforms.

Around this core infrastructure they provide a wide range of complementary services. Cloud Mail is a professional email platform managed via Plesk, with responsive Roundcube webmail, CalDAV/CardDAV, antispam/antivirus, and whitelabel options for agencies. Cloud DB provides managed database instances. Cloud Streaming handles live and on-demand video, useful for media and events. Storage products such as Cloud Object Storage and Cloud ScaleOut Filer cover backup and scalable file needs, while Kubernetes Service and Kubernetes Storage address container-based workloads.

Security and resilience are another strong focus. Seeweb offers SSL certificates, antivirus for servers, Cloud Backup, Cloud Data Protection, disaster recovery solutions, backup recovery testing and consulting around regulations such as NIS2. Combined with their European-only infrastructure and GDPR-aware approach, this makes them attractive for customers with compliance requirements.

Sustainability also plays an important role. Their data centers run on 100% renewable energy, they monitor and reduce CO₂ emissions, design for low PUE values (around 1.2–1.3), follow ISO 14001 environmental standards and apply circular-economy principles to hardware and waste. They are listed by The Green Web Foundation as a green provider, which is relevant for companies with ESG commitments.

Supporting English alongside Italian gives them a clear advantage in targeting international customers and is essentially a requirement for a company operating at this level.

Overall, the impression is of a technically solid, infrastructure-heavy provider with serious investments in data centers, networking, support and sustainability, rather than a lightweight shared-hosting brand.
