Why Italy
What really changes with a VPS in Italy
"A VPS in Italy" is not a marketing label: it means three measurable differences.
01
Legal data sovereignty
Your data resides in Italy, and that is verifiable. What matters more is legal sovereignty: Rackone is an Italian company, so neither the US CLOUD Act nor any other extraterritorial law can force us to hand your data to an authority outside the EU.
02
Latency
If your users are in Italy and the server is in Frankfurt, every request pays for the distance: in business software or a company VPN, network latency limits performance before the CPU does.
03
Systems engineers, in English or in Italian
When you open a ticket, a systems engineer answers, not a first-level operator who forwards it, with a first-response SLA in the contract.
VPS in Italy or abroad: an honest comparison
A VPS abroad often costs less per month. The picture changes when you add outbound traffic and jurisdiction.

Frequently asked questions about VPS hosting in Italy
What is a VPS?
A VPS, or virtual private server, is a virtual server with its own CPU, RAM and disk, carved out of a physical server by virtualisation. Unlike shared hosting it gives you full access; unlike a dedicated server it shares the hardware, while the resources assigned to you stay reserved.
Why choose a VPS in Italy rather than abroad?
A VPS in Italy keeps your data under European jurisdiction, out of reach of extraterritorial laws, and lowers latency to users in Italy. With Rackone, a systems engineer answers under a written first-response SLA, and traffic is included in the monthly fee.
How much does a VPS for an online shop cost?
The cost of a Rackone VPS depends on its size: for an online shop with around 50,000 visits a month, the VPS U4 (4 vCore, 8 GB RAM, 160 GB SSD) is the usual starting point, traffic included. The plans table shows the monthly price, VAT excluded.
Linux VPS or Windows VPS: which should I choose?
The choice between a Linux VPS and a Windows VPS depends on your software. Websites, PHP applications and containers run best on Linux, with root access. Business software, ERP systems and Microsoft components need Windows Server, with the licence included. Network and support are the same.
Can I get the application already installed?
Yes, with Rackone Cloud App you get the application already installed and ready to use: the open source software is configured according to best practice, with updates, daily backup and support included. The catalogue includes more than ninety applications, among them WordPress, Nextcloud, GitLab and Odoo. If you prefer to start from an empty machine and install everything yourself, the right choice is a VPS.
Is the traffic really unlimited?
Yes, traffic on a Rackone VPS is unlimited in both directions: no ingress fees, no egress fees, no adjustment at the end of the month. That is the main difference from the hyperscalers, where outbound traffic is billed by usage.
Can a systems engineer manage my VPS?
Yes, with the Managed option a Rackone VPS is managed by our systems engineers: patches, security, monitoring and software installation are on us. The initial configuration is done with you at no extra cost, on Unmanaged plans too.
Where are the data centers physically located?
The Rackone Edge network has ten data centers: Venice, Milan, Florence, Rome, Turin and Genoa in Italy, plus Germany and Switzerland. Venice 1, in Noventa di Piave, is our own data center; the others are partner data centers. Availability is checked before activation.
Can a company outside Italy buy a VPS from Rackone?
Yes, a Rackone VPS can be bought by a company anywhere in the world: the server runs in Italy, under EU jurisdiction, the cart is in English, and you reach our team in English at the same contacts as our Italian customers.
The network
Where your VPS runs, in Italy and in Europe
Our Edge network joins data centers in Italy and Europe, run to the same standards. Run your VPS at the site closest to your users, without changing service: your data stays where you choose.
Ten data centers (Venice, Milan, Florence, Rome, Turin and Genoa in Italy, plus Germany and Switzerland), one point of contact: contract, SLA and phone number stay the same at every site. Own your server? See colocation in Italy.
- Minimal latency: the workload runs close to your users.
- Geographic redundancy: the sites are physically separate, so an event at one does not stop the others.
- Replication inside the EU: the backup copy stays under the same jurisdiction.
