Energy is the invisible “fuel” of the modern internet. Everything we see online — websites, online stores, streaming services, or cloud storage — runs thanks to data centers that continuously power hundreds of thousands of servers. But behind stability, speed, and reliability lies a very real number measured in kilowatt-hours, and it directly determines the cost of your hosting.
September 2025 became a painful lesson for the entire IT industry. In South Korea, a fire at the headquarters of the National Information Resources Service destroyed the government cloud storage system that had been used for seven years by hundreds of public institutions. As a result, more than 120,000 civil servants lost their work files, and the total amount of destroyed data reached a staggering 858 terabytes. This was not just a technical disaster — it was a vivid demonstration of how dangerous it can be to store everything in one place, even if that place is a “government cloud.”
When a business or personal project outgrows the capabilities of shared hosting, the question of renting a VPS server arises. A VPS (Virtual Private Server) is a virtual server with dedicated resources that works independently from other clients on the same hardware. But where is it better to rent such a server — in Ukraine or abroad?
The choice depends on the tasks and priorities of the project owner. In this article, we’ll look at when a VPS in Ukraine becomes the best solution and in which cases foreign data centers are worth considering.
Modern data centers store valuable data and support online services, making physical security just as important as digital protection. Even the most advanced cybersecurity systems are powerless if an intruder can access the server room or if a fire damages the equipment. In high-class facilities like Tier III data centers, physical protection is a top priority—since uptime and data safety directly depend on it.
