How HTTP/2 Bomb affects the operation of VPS and dedicated servers

The flow of requests overloads the VPS and dedicated server, which increases the load on resources and worsens the performance of services.
When server resources run out faster than you think

Sometimes the problem looks illogical. There is no sharp surge of visitors on the site, the traffic on the graphs does not hit the channel limit, the number of requests does not look catastrophic. But pages open slowly, some requests fail, the web server starts taking more memory, and the application responds every other time. In such cases, people often look for a heavy script, a database error, or a lack of resources on the plan. And that really does need to be checked. But there is one more scenario that is easy to miss: abnormal load through HTTP/2. In particular, an attack called HTTP/2 Bomb.

Why a Backup Does Not Guarantee Data Recovery on a VPS After a Failure or Attack

Backup is only part of the protection if recovery is not verified

On many VPS servers, backup is available as a standard feature or as an additional option in the control panel. For the owner of a website, online store, CRM or internal service, this is a genuinely important advantage. If something goes wrong, there is a way to restore data from a backup instead of rebuilding everything manually.

How to choose a VPS recipe for your task

A person chooses between several VPS recipe options, one of which is highlighted as the optimal choice for a specific task.
Not all options are equally suitable for the task

VPS recipes are sets of scripts that automate server deployment. If you don’t want to spend an hour manually writing configs in the terminal, you simply choose the needed scenario. The system will install the software itself, pull in dependencies and set the basic configuration. You get a machine ready to work literally in a few clicks.

How rising electricity prices affect server solutions

A factor that is difficult to ignore

At the beginning of 2026, Ukrainian businesses have already felt the jump in electricity tariffs for enterprises. For the IT sector, this is not just an extra line in reporting, but a factor that forces a recalculation of the economics of every unit in a data center. Since forecasts do not promise any rollback in prices, infrastructure costs are becoming a critical point where one has to choose between “hardware” and flexibility.

How to prepare a VPS for an operating system update

Preparing for an update is no less important than the update itself.

Updating the operating system on a VPS is not just pressing the “Update” button during a spare minute. It is an intervention into the foundation on which your websites, databases, and corporate services rely. Any change in system libraries or the kernel version can become critical. Without a clear plan, a routine procedure easily turns into a night shift spent restoring access to “fallen” services.

Why a VPS Stops Responding After Several Days Without a Reboot

Regular updates and restarts return the server to stable operation

A scenario where a VPS “flies” right after launch, and a week later starts slowing down hopelessly, is familiar to anyone who has ever set up hosting. From the outside it looks like a sudden failure, but usually the problem matures over days. A server is not a static box, but a dynamic environment. If the processes running inside it do not return resources back to the system, stability is gradually exhausted.

When Increasing the Number of CPU Cores Does Not Improve Performance

More cores do not guarantee faster server performance

When renting a VPS or a dedicated server, the numbers in the specifications often mislead. It seems logical that 16 cores are twice as good as 8, yet in real tasks performance rarely grows linearly. Quite often a project doesn’t react to added computing power at all, and sometimes – even slows down because of how resources are distributed.

What happens to a VPS when it runs out of RAM

RAM shortage as a critical moment for stable server operation

Random access memory, or RAM, is the resource where a server stores data that programs need to operate “right now.” This includes website code, databases, cache, operating system processes, and system services. Unlike disk storage, RAM works very fast but has a limited capacity. On a VPS, the amount of RAM is fixed by the tariff plan, and the server cannot automatically use more memory than it has been allocated. As a result, the stability of a VPS directly depends on whether there is enough RAM to handle the current load.

What Is an API and Why It Exists in Almost Every Service

API as a universal way of interaction between different parts of a service

API stands for Application Programming Interface, which is a software interface for interaction between different systems. Simply put, an API is a set of clear rules that allow one program to communicate with another, send a request, and receive a response. End users usually do not see APIs and rarely think about their existence, yet they use them constantly. Logging in with Google, paying by card on a website, displaying the weather, exchange rates, or delivery status — all of this works thanks to APIs.

How Background Processes Consume VPS Resources

Impact of internal system processes on VPS load

VPS is often perceived as a “clean” server where all resources are available only to a specific website or application. The user expects that if nothing unnecessary is running, the CPU, memory, and disk will be used minimally. In reality, even in a state of relative idle, a server is never completely empty. Dozens of processes constantly run in the background, invisible at first glance, but it is precisely they that gradually consume VPS resources.
