Romania· Cloud Computing
Needs review
Shortlist when you want a polished, proprietary self-hosted PaaS panel with Git builders, automatic HTTPS, databases, backups, and a large template catalogue on servers you control. Skip when you need a managed cloud runtime SLA, or when procurement requires an open-source control plane (consider Coolify or CapRover) or pure EU IaaS without a commercial panel (Hetzner or Scaleway alone).
Italy· Cloud Computing
Needs review
Shortlist Seeweb when you want Italian-operated IaaS with KVM cloud servers, NVIDIA/AMD GPU capacity, managed Kubernetes, and ACN-qualified product scope—plus European data-center choices under DHH Group ownership. Skip when you need global hyperscaler PaaS breadth or many continents of regions; consider OVHcloud, Scaleway, or Aruba Cloud instead for scale or alternate Italian sovereign stacks.

Git, image, and Compose deploys with multiple builders
Connect GitHub or generic Git, upload archives, pull Docker images, or run Compose projects. Build with Dockerfile, Cloud Native Buildpacks, Nixpacks, or Railpack. Auto-deploy webhooks are available for GitHub sources. Limit: you still operate the underlying server and must keep ports 80/443 free on a typical install.
Automatic HTTPS domains and Traefik routing
Attach hostnames to services, terminate TLS, and apply proxy middlewares from the dashboard. Useful for teams that want certificate renewal and routing without hand-editing reverse-proxy files. Limit: DNS and server firewall remain your responsibility.
Managed databases plus scheduled backups
Run Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB, and Redis as services beside apps. Schedule database and volume backups to local disk, FTP/SFTP, S3-compatible storage, Dropbox, or Google Drive, then restore from the UI. Limit: a local-only backup destination does not protect against full server loss.
Large one-click application template catalogue
Install maintained templates for hundreds of open-source apps (vendor states 750+) such as n8n, Supabase, WordPress, Immich, and Nextcloud, with service wiring handled by the panel. Limit: each upstream app still needs its own hardening, upgrades, and credential hygiene.
In-browser operations: metrics, logs, and shell
Monitor CPU, memory, disk, and network, stream logs, and open a container shell or saved scripts without separate SSH tooling for routine tasks. Limit: deep incident response still needs host-level access and your own observability stack for production SLAs.
KVM Cloud Servers with dedicated resources
Cloud Server is a KVM virtual machine with dedicated CPU, RAM, and SAN-backed storage, N+1 style redundancy messaging, and guaranteed 1 Gbps bandwidth class. Scale vertically (add CPU/RAM/disk) or horizontally by composing multi-tier stacks. Unmanaged or fully managed by Seeweb engineers—fit for production web, DB, and agency workloads that need predictable isolation rather than noisy shared hosts.
GPU cloud for AI/ML (NVIDIA + AMD)
Cloud Server GPU instances target training, inference, and HPC-style jobs with NVIDIA cards (H100, H200, A100, L40S, RTX A6000, L4 and related) and AMD options including MI300X. Ready-to-use drivers, Terraform support, hourly usage billing, and Spot Instances with a short preemption notice suit bursty or interruptible jobs. Data stays on European sites per vendor GDPR messaging—confirm region per SKU at order time.
Managed Kubernetes Service (SKS)
SKS is Kubernetes-as-a-Service with a HA control plane, worker sizing you design with Seeweb, CSI storage (Vast Data driver on the product page), optional S3-compatible object storage, load balancing, and GPU workers (including MI300X and NVIDIA H-class cards). Aimed at teams that want orchestration without running etcd themselves; Proactive Support tiers add predictive monitoring for production clusters.
VPC, Foundation Server, and hybrid DC footprint
Virtual Private Cloud builds private infrastructures on VMware or Proxmox; Foundation Server targets dedicated bare-metal-style capacity for business-critical virtualization. Combine with housing/colocation in Milan and Frosinone plus European partner sites for DR. Useful when you need private networking and dedicated hosts under the same Italian operator rather than public multi-tenant only.
ACN-qualified IaaS and CISPE EU residency claims
Seeweb publishes ACN CSP qualification (QI2 infrastructure; QC2 for Foundation Server Pro, VPC, Shared CPU/High Memory cloud, and AI/supercomputing infrastructures) for Italian public administration procurement. CISPE Code of Conduct registration is used to assert customer data stored exclusively in European territories. Pair these claims with your own DPIA—they are procurement signals, not a substitute for a signed DPA.
| Assurance & compliance | Easypanel | Seeweb |
|---|---|---|
| Independent security / no-logs audit | Not found No public third-party audit PDF located on primary site. | Not applicable IaaS/data-center provider—not a consumer no-logs VPN. Assurance is via ISO/ISMS and sector qualifications rather than a no-logs report. |
| ISO 27001 | Not found | Vendor claimed Vendor certifications page: ISO/IEC 27001:2022, AXE REGISTER cert IT18-27702D, valid until 28 Nov 2027; locations Milan & Frosinone. Re-verify serial in procurement. |
| SOC 2 / SOC 3 | Not found | Not found No SOC 2/3 report advertised on the official certifications page at research time. |
| GDPR / EU data protection | Vendor claimed Romanian (EU) PFA entity and public Privacy Policy; confirm processing roles for your account data. | Vendor claimed Italian controller/processor entity, European hosting messaging, privacy policy, ISO 27018 claim, CISPE; confirm DPA for your processing roles. |
| US CLOUD Act exposure (indicative) | Partial EU operator with no known US parent, but Lemon Squeezy (billing) and Google (website sign-in/analytics) are US-linked. Customer app data stays on the customer server unless backups are sent to US-group storage. Not legal advice. | Partial Italian Seeweb S.r.l., Italian DHH parent, no known US parent; primary hosting on European DCs (not AWS/GCP/Azure). Third-party Swiss/BG facilities and global transit carriers exist. Indicative only—not legal advice. |
| Data processing agreement (B2B) | Not found No public DPA download found on marketing/docs pages during research. | Vendor claimed Art. 28 DPA language used for Seeweb-operated services (e.g. published for Regolo); request current signed DPA + TOMs + subprocessors for core cloud/IaaS contracts. |
| EU AI Act | Not applicable Deployment panel, not an AI system product. | Partial Infrastructure/GPU provider and Rethic.AI partnership messaging; AI Act duties mainly fall on customer AI systems. Not a full provider high-risk AI assessment by EuropeanStack. |
| ISO/IEC 27017 (cloud security) | Not listed | Vendor claimed Appendix to ISO 27001 certificate on certifications page; same validity window stated. |
| ISO/IEC 27018 (cloud PII) | Not listed | Vendor claimed Appendix to ISO 27001 certificate on certifications page; same validity window stated. |
| CISPE Data Protection Code of Conduct | Not listed | Vendor claimed Vendor states CISPE registry presence and European data storage under the Code (since 31 May 2017 on certifications page). |
| ACN Qualified CSP (QI2/QC2) | Not listed | Vendor claimed IaaS qualification for Italian PA; QI2 infrastructure and QC2 for listed products including AI/supercomputing infrastructures (19 Jan 2023 on certifications page). |
| CSA STAR Level 1 | Not listed | Vendor claimed Stated for Virtual Private Cloud and Foundation Server PRO (6 July 2022 on certifications page). |
| Considerations & known limitations | Easypanel | Seeweb |
|---|---|---|
| Proprietary control plane | Medium You cannot fork the panel under an OSI license. Budget for license renewals and an exit plan (Compose/export) if requirements change. | Not listed |
| You operate the server | Medium Availability, OS patching, capacity, and firewall rules remain yours. This is not a managed PaaS SLA. | Not listed |
| US-linked account subprocessors | Medium Lemon Squeezy handles checkout/licenses; Google appears on the website for sign-in/analytics. App data can stay local, but identity and billing metadata do not. | Not listed |
| Backup targets can leave your host | Low Optional backup providers include S3-compatible services, Dropbox, and Google Drive. Choose EU-controlled destinations if residency of backups matters. | Not listed |
| No public independent audit package | Medium No ISO/SOC or public penetration-test report was found. Enterprise procurement may need questionnaires and contractual security exhibits. | Not listed |
| Smaller global footprint than hyperscalers | Not listed | Medium Region set is European (IT/CH/BG) with a mid-size operator catalog. Multi-continent apps or niche managed PaaS may force multi-cloud or a larger EU peer. |
| Certifications are vendor-published | Not listed | Low ISO and ACN claims include certificate numbers and dates on seeweb.it, but EuropeanStack did not re-download every registry PDF. Re-verify serials and scope statements in formal assurance reviews. |
| No single public subprocessor register found | Not listed | Medium Facility partners and network carriers are described on DC pages, but a consolidated customer-content subprocessor list was not found as one public document. Request annex under NDA for regulated workloads. |
| GPU Spot Instances can be interrupted | Not listed | Low Vendor documents ~2-minute notice before Spot termination when On-Demand needs capacity. Architect batch/checkpointing; do not run sole critical control planes only on Spot. |
| Some sites use third-party data centers | Not listed | Low Lugano, Zurich, and Sofia are presented via partner facilities (Swisscom, Global Data Centers Switzerland AG, Evolink). Italy-only residency must be contracted explicitly if required. |
When: You want an open-source self-hosted PaaS panel you can fork
Consider: Coolify or CapRover
Not currently separate EuropeanStack entries; evaluate licenses and multi-server features directly.
When: You want managed cloud app hosting instead of operating a VPS
Consider: DigitalOcean App Platform or AWS application hosting
Less server ops, less direct control of the host.
When: You only need EU IaaS and will run raw Docker or Kubernetes yourself
Consider: Hetzner or Scaleway
Complementary as places to install Easypanel, or alternatives if you reject a commercial panel.
When: You need a large multi-country European cloud with denser product catalog and strong self-service DX
Consider: OVHcloud or Scaleway
Broader regions and developer tooling; less Italian ACN-specific packaging than Seeweb.
When: You want another Italian sovereign cloud with mass-market public-cloud SKUs
Consider: Aruba Cloud
Closest national peer; compare GPU/K8s maturity and PA qualification details side by side.
When: You mainly need simple self-service VMs/storage at aggressive commercial terms without Italian PA focus
Consider: Hetzner
Strong for general-purpose EU VMs; different compliance and support model.
When: You require global enterprise PaaS and marketplace ecosystems
Consider: AWS or Microsoft Azure
Accept US-group cloud and CLOUD Act exposure tradeoffs for breadth.
