What HostingPerTe does

HostingPerTe is an Italian web hosting and digital infrastructure provider operating under parent company Armada SRL, headquartered in Venafro, Italy, and founded in 2004. The company offers a comprehensive hosting portfolio spanning shared hosting (Linux and Windows), CMS-optimized plans for WordPress, WooCommerce, PrestaShop, and Joomla, VPS (SSD and Cloud) and Proxmox/VMware Virtual Cluster solutions, dedicated servers in Standard/Professional/Enterprise tiers plus Raspberry Pi 4 and Synology NAS options, and Italian-resident storage (Cloud, Object, Secure Storage). Email services include Professional Mail, PEC (Posta Elettronica Certificata, Italy's legally certified email), dedicated SMTP for high-volume sending (over 30,000 emails/day) with rotating Italian IP addresses, and email/PEC archiving. The offering is rounded out with domain registration/transfer (accredited .it registrar via Registro.it), SSL, BitNinja and SiteLock security add-ons, ID Shield, Whistleblowing compliance, GEO Insight, Plesk licensing, and managed support services. Underlying infrastructure runs on CloudLinux-based shared hosting with Plesk control panel (Plesk Partner Elite), Dell/VMware/Proxmox enterprise virtualization, Juniper networking, and Synology NAS, and is certified to ISO 9001, 27001, 27017, 27018, and 30415 plus Green Web Foundation verification. All data resides in Italy, addressing GDPR and local-data-residency requirements.

The business model is overwhelmingly subscription-based: annual shared hosting plans, monthly VPS and dedicated server rentals, annual domain renewals, and recurring email/SMTP/security subscriptions. Pricing is granular and SMB-oriented, starting at €19.19/year for entry-level Linux hosting and scaling to €228/month for dedicated servers, with prices quoted excluding VAT. Go-to-market is direct self-serve e-commerce via hostingperte.it, supplemented by an 18% revenue-share affiliate program (€5 welcome bonus, 60-day cookie) and a white-label Hosting Reseller program for Italian web agencies and webmasters. The company serves primarily Italian SMBs, professionals, e-commerce operators, IT professionals, and reseller agencies, with distribution limited to a single domestic market. Ownership is concentrated with sole proprietor Fabio Mascio (Titolare Unico of Armada SRL), and the business has operated for over two decades without external funding.
