In today's digital world, a stable and secure IT infrastructure is the foundation for effective operation of any business: from online stores to financial systems and government agencies. One of its key elements is the server. However, not every company has the opportunity or the need to maintain its own physical server.: it is expensive, requires constant maintenance and the availability of technical specialists. That is why renting servers in Ukraine is becoming an increasingly popular alternative in Ukraine.
The Ukrainian server rental market has been showing steady growth in recent years. The increased demand for remote servers — whether virtual VPS, dedicated or cloud solutions — is due to a number of factors: digitalization of business, the transition to remote work, the development of e-commerce and the active use of accounting and CRM systems. In addition, geopolitical challenges, cyberattack risks, and the need to comply with information security standards are pushing companies to choose a more reliable infrastructure — hosting their data in professional data centers.
In this review, we will look at the main types of rented servers, the level of demand, price trends, key market players, and the main factors influencing the choice of a hosting provider. We will also evaluate the prospects and directions of development of the Ukrainian server market in the coming years.
What types of servers are usually rented in Ukraine?
Server rentals in Ukraine cover a wide range of solutions, from basic virtual machines to powerful physical servers hosted in data centers. Companies choose the type of server depending on their tasks, budget, and reliability requirements. Let's look at the main rental formats below.:
1. VPS/VDS — virtual servers
This is one of the most popular options on the Ukrainian market. In fact, this is a part of the physical server dedicated to a specific client. A VPS (Virtual Private Server) or VDS (Virtual Dedicated Server) is ideal for:
-
Website hosting on WordPress, Joomla, OpenCart and other CMS;
-
The work of accounting programs (for example, M.
E.
Doc );
-
Entry-level online stores;
-
Software development and testing.
Advantages: affordable, flexible scalability, and a basic level of resource isolation.
Disadvantages: nevertheless, this is not a "physical server", and performance drawdowns are possible during peak loads.
2. Dedicated servers
This is a full-fledged leased physical server for a single client. It is used by companies that need a high level of productivity and privacy.
