01
Milan · MIL3
Why Milan?
MIL3 is on Via Caldera in the west of the city, in the cluster the Italian exchange itself grew up in. It opened in 2018. Sparkle is the carrier that makes it interesting: Telecom Italia's international arm runs the Mediterranean routes out of Sicily, so an instance in Milan sits on the landward end of the path toward Athens, Tel Aviv and Cairo.
What it reaches
Twenty-six sessions at MIX-IT, which in practice is the Italian eyeball networks, because nearly all of them are there. Three milliseconds across Lombardy, Rome and Naples behind the domestic backbone, and Sparkle handling anything crossing the Mediterranean eastward.
The trade-off
MIX-IT is the only fabric here, and there is no second Italian site to fail into: an Italian failure domain means Milan plus somewhere outside Italy. Italian backhaul runs north, so Sicily and the far south are further away in milliseconds than they look on a map.

Questions
Questions about hosting in Italy
01Milan or Frankfurt for Italian users?
Milan, and it is not close. Italian networks interconnect at MIX-IT and very little else, so from Frankfurt you reach most of them over transit and a long domestic haul. Frankfurt is the better room in almost every other respect — sixty-four sessions, Tier IV, 1.6 Tbit/s — and none of that helps a user in Turin.
02Does Milan make sense for Greek, Israeli or Egyptian users?
As a bridge, yes — the eastern Mediterranean routes run through Sparkle and Milan is the European end of them, which is a shorter path than going via Frankfurt. It is still a compromise. If the audience is Gulf or South Asian, Dubai is the site, and Fujairah sits directly on the cable landing.
03How many IP addresses do I get?
One dedicated IPv4 and a routed /64 of IPv6 with every plan. Up to eight extra IPv4 addresses can be added at €1.20 each per month, assigned from the region's own prefix so geolocation stays consistent. A routed /48 of IPv6 is €2 a month if you are running your own network behind us.
04Is DDoS protection included?
Yes, on every plan, with no separate charge and no traffic threshold. Volumetric attacks are absorbed by hardware scrubbers at the edge and mitigation engages in under four seconds. The advanced tier adds layer-7 scrubbing and rules you write yourself, which matters for game servers and public APIs but not for much else.
05Is port 25 open? Can I run a mail server?
Port 25 is closed by default on new instances and opened on request — send a ticket saying what you are sending and to roughly how many recipients. It usually takes under an hour. Custom reverse DNS on both v4 and v6 is self-service from the console, which is the part that actually determines whether your mail lands.
06Which region should I pick?
The one closest to your users, not to you. Every location costs the same, so there is no reason to compromise. The locations page lists median round trip from residential probes in each metro, and there is a live latency test on every site page. If you are unsure, Frankfurt and Amsterdam reach the most people in the fewest milliseconds.
07Can I move an existing server to another country?
You can deploy a replacement in the new region and migrate, and support will run the transfer for you at no charge if you ask. What we cannot do is move an instance between regions in place — the disk stays where the metal is, and the IP address belongs to that region's prefix.
