Tech Performance bundles infrastructure, performance, security and continuous updates into a single fee. Strategy, devops, h24 monitoring and hardware/software support: all under one team that knows your stack. Not a generic helpdesk, not a hyperscaler bill that explodes.
The off-the-shelf options shift the problem instead of solving it. Here’s what really happens when your tech stack isn’t in expert hands.
AWS, Azure, GCP charge by instance, not by understanding your stack. Without an in-house FinOps team the bill stays unpredictable, and you get neither capacity planning nor fine-grained tuning. Cost/performance worse than a well-tuned dedicated VPS. And you keep paying the gap.
Hundreds of sites packed onto the same server, and behind the support desk a rotating cast of operators who never really know your stack. No continuity of person, no real understanding, no strategic guidance. When something breaks you start over every single time.
Without predictive alerting, continuous log analysis and a real CI/CD, every problem reaches you only when a customer calls. Errors pile up in logs and nobody reads them, regressions slip into production, rollbacks are manual maneuvers under stress. Stability by sheer luck.
Response times, slow queries, sudden traffic peaks, Core Web Vitals on the slide: you collect Real User Monitoring data, your provider doesn’t look at it. They know how to answer a ticket, not how to build a continuous tuning plan. You lose speed, you lose ranking. And you keep paying for not having one.
Tech Performance is not hosting. It’s proprietary technology + a managed-services team: tailor-made infrastructure, continuous optimisation, security and orchestrated updates. Modular from a single site to an HA cluster.
No shared hosting, no hyperscaler bill. Dedicated cloud VPS with guaranteed resources, sized to your real traffic. When needed, we scale to a multi-node HA cluster with automatic failover, but only if the project really requires it.

Server and application stack tuned on your real workload. Application code, dependencies, security patches, operating system: every layer is updated in an agreed window with tested rollback. You no longer think about who and when has to do what.
Observability stack with Prometheus + Grafana + Loki: dashboards, centralised logs, predictive alerting on anomalies. We optimise the whole stack: database, cache, application, CDN, assets. Core Web Vitals in the green zone as a natural consequence. H24/7 monitoring with multi-channel alerts (email, app, phone call) and intervention guaranteed within one hour during business hours. The call is always with an SRE, not with a first-level dispatcher.
iptables firewall, fail2ban anti brute-force, TLS 1.3, CIS-aligned hardening. Daily incremental backup on offsite storage (S3-compatible), customisable retention, restore actually tested. Five layers of defense in depth, all within EU borders.
This is the actual control plane we run every day: Proxmox virtualization, live resource metrics, orchestrated backups. Same tools, same discipline we apply to your stack.
From the initial audit to set & forget in a few weeks. No rewrites, no lock-in, no end-of-month surprises.
We analyse stack, traffic, plugins, critical dependencies and business goals. We decide together on the strategy: single VPS, multi-site on shared resources, HA cluster. Technical report with cost estimate.
Provisioning of the new environment, data replication, parallel testing, article archive and SEO preserved. Cutover in an agreed window, zero-downtime when possible. Single site in 5–7 days, multi-site network in 2–3 weeks, HA cluster up to 30 days.
h24 monitoring, intervention within 1h, orchestrated updates, verified restore, proactive decisions. You work on your product, we keep your tech stack in expert hands.
Editorial digital, e-commerce, B2B SaaS, sports clubs: different workloads, same operating model. Same Romiltec team across all configurations, real engineers instead of a ticket system. And next to every case, the fee band: we have nothing to hide on numbers.
Network · 40+ titles "An international network with Italian magazines and foreign-language editions, all on the same operating model. No different providers, one team that owns the whole stack."
Network · 10 sites "Ten sites, one technical squad. No different providers, no ticket system, one team that owns your stack."
Editorial · 3y "We publish dozens of articles a day, we can’t stop for a deploy. Tech Performance made this possible."
Sport · Serie A "On match day traffic explodes. The infrastructure holds — and on Mondays we get a real call on what to optimise next, not a ticket."
Local outlet "A local outlet needs the same seriousness as a large network. Tech Performance gives us that at a sustainable fee."
Ecommerce · WooCommerce "Campaigns bring sudden peaks, and not all of that traffic is good traffic. The platform stays stable, and there is always a technical contact who actually knows our store."
Ecommerce · home & sleep "A mattress is not an impulse buy: product pages must open instantly and checkout must never fail. Continuous tuning shows up where it matters, in conversion."
Fee bands from our public pricing; cloud equivalents estimated from public price lists, July 2026.
Three starting tiers to give you an idea. The actual fee is calculated after the audit: traffic, support level, criticality of the project. Server, traffic, storage and backups are always included. No fluctuating cloud bill.
Build your quoteone-off setup + recurring fee · annual contract · 1–3 month termination notice (scaled by tier) · custom configurations between tiers on request · no lock-in: the playbooks remain yours.
We priced our three tiers against AWS, Google Cloud, DigitalOcean and the managed WordPress platforms, using public price lists and configurations we actually run in production. One detail changes everything: cloud prices buy you machines. Ours buys you machines plus the team that runs them.
| Configuration | Editorial single site | Network multi-site, sustained traffic | HA Cluster mission-critical |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tech Performance | from ~€21/mo · all included | from ~€900/mo · all included | from ~€2,000/mo · all included |
| AWS | ~€45–75/mo + operations | ~€900–1,200/mo infra only | ~€3,500–6,000/mo + DevOps |
| Google Cloud | ~€45–75/mo + operations | ~€850–1,100/mo infra only | ~€3,300–5,500/mo + DevOps |
| DigitalOcean | ~€25–95/mo + operations | ~€550–800/mo infra only | ~€2,500–4,000/mo + DevOps |
| Kinsta / WP Engine | ~$35–115/mo · visit tiers | thousands of $/mo (per-site + visits) | not on public price lists |
| Who operates the infrastructure | our engineers, included in the fee | you: +€500–1,500/mo for a retainer, ~€4,000/mo for an in-house hire. Platform support ≠ operations. | |
Egress: AWS and GCP bill ~$0.09/GB outbound. On editorial traffic volumes that is a four-figure yearly line item, even behind a CDN. In our fee, traffic is simply included.
Visit overages: managed WordPress platforms meter visits (e.g. $2 per extra 1,000). Your best traffic day becomes your worst billing day. Our fee does not move on a good headline.
Support ≠ operations: AWS Business Support costs 10% of your bill and covers their platform, not your application. Tuning, updates, incident response at 3 AM: that is the part we include.
Indicative estimates from public price lists and calculators (AWS, Google Cloud, DigitalOcean, Kinsta, WP Engine), July 2026. USD prices converted for readability. Equivalent configurations sized on workloads we run in production. Not a quote: your quote comes after an audit.
Enterprise is a business model: standardise everything, scale the sales, put a ticket system between you and the people who know the answer. Craftsmanship is a different process: measure first, size accordingly, keep the same engineers on your stack for years. We run infrastructure the second way.
The console is the product. Architecture, sizing and mistakes are yours to figure out.
Severity levels, escalation queues, a different person every time. Nobody on the other side has ever seen your stack.
They answer for the hypervisor and the API. Your slow query, your broken deploy, your bot flood: out of scope.
Nobody audits your workload, so you buy headroom "to be safe" and pay for it twelve months a year.
Egress, IOPS, snapshots, visit overages. Your best traffic day is your worst billing day.
Every proprietary managed service is one more reason you can never leave.
We measure your real workload first. The fee is sized on what you actually run, not on a price list fantasy.
The engineer who answers is the one who built your stack and tuned it last month. Context included.
From the hardware to the PHP pool to the CDN rule: one team, accountable end to end.
We tune RAM, database buffers and PHP workers on observed traffic. You pay for what the workload needs.
Server, traffic, storage, backups, interventions: included. The invoice looks the same every month. On purpose.
Standard open-source stack, documented playbooks that remain yours. You can leave. That is why clients stay.
Enterprise is a business model. Quality is a process. We chose the process.
The questions we get asked before signing. If yours isn’t here, write to us: we reply the same day.
