Hosting on Aruba vs Register.it vs OVH Roubaix vs AWS Milan: which for Italian data residency?

Italian merchants often want Italian (or at least EU) data residency, partly Garante GDPR posture, partly AdE audit comfort, partly latency. Options ranked:

  • Aruba, Italian cloud giant (Arezzo + Bergamo DCs, Tier IV). Strong on price, Italian support, conservazione sostitutiva bundled, sovereign-cloud option. Most Italian Magento stores end up here. Some Aruba VPS tiers are I/O-bound, we benchmark before committing.
  • Register.it, older Italian provider (now part of Dada / Italiaonline). Decent for < €500k stores, weaker on auto-scaling.
  • OVH Roubaix, French but EU; great price/performance, Italian support in Italian. Excellent if you also serve France.
  • AWS Milan (eu-south-1), US-grade tooling with Italian data residency. Pricier (~€1.5k+/mo for a Magento-grade stack) but auto-scales beautifully. Best for > €5M GMV.
  • Adobe Commerce Cloud (Frankfurt), not Italian, but GDPR-compliant. Locked to Adobe Commerce.

We benchmark + migrate, the right answer depends on whether you need IT-only data residency or just EU low-latency.
