“Which hosting is best in Ukraine?” No single name answers that: a business-card site, a store and a VPS for a bot need different providers. So this page is a monthly ranking: the October 2026 top 10 with ratings, prices and our speed test, then how to read it and what to pick. Need a physical server in Ukraine?

Best hosting in Ukraine: the October 2026 ranking
The row order matches our catalog and home page. The editors set it, and it is not a sort by rating (see “How we calculate it”). Want a different order? Re-sort by the columns yourself.
| Host | Rating | Reviews in catalog | From, $/mo | TTFB 10.10.2026 | Trial |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Fornex | 4.9 | 18 | 4 | — | 7 days + 30-day guarantee |
| 2. GMhost | 4.4 | 45 | 1.49 | 252 ms | 7 days |
| 3. Friendhosting | 4.8 | 34 | 2.22 | 140 ms | not listed |
| 4. HyperHost | 4.5 | 103 | 1.68 | 433 ms | 7 days + 30-day guarantee |
| 5. TheHost | 4.7 | 190 | 1.3 | 549 ms | 7 days + 14-day guarantee |
| 6. S-Host | 4.0 | 36 | 1.98 | 1356 ms | 7 days + 30-day guarantee |
| 7. Zomro | 4.6 | 776 | 4.45 | 254 ms | 30 days |
| 8. Inferno | 4.1 | 4 | 3 | — | 3 days + 14-day guarantee |
| 9. Fozzy | 4.8 | 11 | 14.95 | 486 ms | 7 days + 30-day guarantee |
| 10. UAhosting | 4.2 | 116 | 1.11 | 999 ms | 14 days + 14-day guarantee |
The list is not limited to hosts with a data centre in Ukraine. Six of the ten have one (GMhost, HyperHost, TheHost, S-Host, Fozzy, UAhosting); the other four serve Ukrainian customers from Europe and the US (Fornex, Friendhosting, Zomro, Inferno). All ten are our partners, so we may earn a commission when you follow a link to their sites. Ratings, reviews, prices and TTFB come from catalog data and our own tests (methodology).
How we calculate it
The rating in the table (4.0 to 4.9) is a weighted average over five criteria: speed, stability, price and quality, support, ease of use. Customer reviews from the catalog are added on top; the full description is in the methodology. Position is editorial, which is why Fornex with 4.9 sits first and Zomro with 776 reviews seventh. Rating and place are different things, so we show both.
Speed in the table is TTFB, time to first byte. We measured it on 10.10.2026 with curl: three attempts per domain, the minimum is taken. We test the host's public website, not a server rented from them, so it reflects their infrastructure, not a guarantee for your plan. With a single test location in the US, absolute milliseconds will be higher for a visitor in Ukraine, but all hosts were measured the same way, so the comparison holds. The median across 32 providers is 596 ms. Seven sites, Fornex and Inferno among them, sit behind bot protection and are left out of the speed ranking. Full results are on the tests page; the detailed breakdown is in our speed test article.
We leave uptime out of the table. A figure from a host's footer proves nothing; the answer comes only from monitoring during your own trial (more below).
The top 5 in brief: what each is good for
1. Fornex
The highest rating in the table, 4.9, but on only 18 reviews. Servers in Germany, the Netherlands, the US, Switzerland, Spain and Sweden; none in Ukraine. A 30-day money-back guarantee, free site migration, ISPmanager included. The downside: an entry price of $4 a month, higher than seven of the other nine hosts in the ten. No TTFB: a WAF blocks the site. It suits people who want European infrastructure rather than the lowest price tag. Fornex plans.
2. GMhost
The second-cheapest way into the top five: $1.49 a month with cPanel included. Servers in Ukraine, Germany, Portugal and Estonia. Its 252 ms TTFB is the second-best of the measured hosts in the ten. Downsides: metered bandwidth and no IPv6 on entry plans. Fits a business-card site, a blog or a small store with a Ukrainian audience. GMhost plans.
3. Friendhosting
The fastest response in the ten: 140 ms TTFB. Servers in the Netherlands, Bulgaria, Poland, Czechia, Latvia, Sweden and the US, none in Ukraine. Unmetered bandwidth, NVMe, root access and custom ISOs. Downsides: VestaCP instead of cPanel, and neither a trial nor a refund guarantee is listed in the catalog. A host for people who run their own VPS. Friendhosting plans.
4. HyperHost
Servers in Ukraine and the Netherlands, in business since 2008. cPanel included, free SSL and migration, Ukrainian-language support 24/7. TTFB 433 ms. Downsides: only two locations and no IPv6 on starter plans. A solid option for a store or corporate site with a Ukrainian audience. HyperHost plans.
5. TheHost
Operating since 2007, it has the most reviews of any host in the ten with a Ukrainian data centre: 190. Data centres in Ukraine, Poland, the Netherlands and Germany, cPanel included, and hosting, VPS, dedicated servers and domains in one account. A 7-day trial and a 14-day money-back guarantee. TTFB 549 ms, a little better than the 596 ms median. Downside: bandwidth is metered on some plans. TheHost plans.
Places 6 to 10 in a few words
- S-Host (4.0 on 36 reviews): servers in Ukraine and the Netherlands, DirectAdmin. Its 1356 ms TTFB is the slowest of the measured hosts in the ten, and the base configuration has no DDoS protection..
- Zomro (4.6 on 776 reviews): more reviews than the other nine combined (557). Servers in the Netherlands, Latvia and Poland, a 30-day trial after a €1 top-up, hourly billing, NVMe. TTFB 254 ms. Backups cost extra.
- Inferno (4.1 on 4 reviews): NVMe on all plans, DDoS protection included, servers in Finland, the Netherlands and the US. Too few reviews to draw conclusions, and TTFB was not measured (WAF).
- Fozzy (4.8 on 11 reviews): six locations including Ukraine, its own CDN, a 30-day money-back guarantee. TTFB 486 ms.
- UAhosting (4.2 on 116 reviews): the lowest entry price in the ten, $1.11 a month. Servers in Ukraine, Germany and Poland, ISPmanager. TTFB 999 ms, and the base configuration has no DDoS protection or IPv6.
How to choose hosting in Ukraine: five checks
The table leaves three or four candidates. After that, only hands-on checks help.
- Decide where your visitors are. If almost all are in Ukraine, look at servers in Ukraine, Poland, the Netherlands or Germany. If the audience is spread across Europe, a Ukrainian server loses its edge.
- Take a trial and measure it yourself. In the first days, set up monitoring (UptimeRobot or similar) and measure TTFB from your own city with PageSpeed Insights, WebPageTest or curl's time_starttransfer variable. Our milliseconds come from the US; yours will be yours. Our rule of thumb: under 200 ms is good, over 600 ms needs a look. More in the trial guide.
- Ask support a real question before you pay. The way they answer now is how they will answer the night something goes down.
- Ask about the renewal price and what the plan includes. Is “from $2” a promo or the permanent price? Are backups, SSL and DDoS protection included? Zomro, for example, charges for backups, and S-Host and UAhosting have no DDoS protection in the base configuration; their cards say so.
- Plan your exit. Free migration is stated for Fornex, HyperHost and TheHost, but still check that you can download backups to your own machine.
Which hosting should I pick in Ukraine? By task
We get this question most often, so we answer by task, not with one name.
Business-card site, blog, landing page
You need cheap shared hosting or a minimal VPS with nothing extra. Look at GMhost (from $1.49, cPanel, 7-day trial), HyperHost (from $1.68, cPanel, free SSL and migration) and UAhosting (from $1.11, servers in Ukraine). S-Host is cheap too, but its site's TTFB is 1356 ms and the base plan has no DDoS protection. More options are in the budget hosting ranking.
Online store
Stability under load, SSL, backups and a panel a store manager can handle (cPanel or ISPmanager) matter most. Candidates: TheHost (servers in Ukraine, 14-day guarantee), HyperHost (cPanel, Ukrainian-language support), Fornex (ISPmanager, long guarantee, no server in Ukraine) and Fozzy (own CDN, six locations). Take a plan with headroom. The shortlist is under hosting for online stores; plan requirements are here.
VPS for a bot, API, CRM or several projects
You need root, and the panel is your own concern. Friendhosting (TTFB 140 ms, NVMe, unmetered bandwidth), Zomro (30-day trial after a €1 top-up, hourly billing, easy for testing a configuration), Inferno (NVMe and DDoS protection, but few reviews) and Fornex. Compare them in the VPS ranking, and read about sizing in the configuration guide.
A server in Ukraine or in the EU
A physical server in Ukraine gives local visitors minimal latency, a few milliseconds, and is needed when data must stay in the country. In our ten, GMhost, HyperHost, TheHost, S-Host, Fozzy and UAhosting have such data centres. Poland, the Netherlands and Germany give 20 to 40 ms, which a regular site will not notice, so without a data-residency requirement a European server does not lose. Hosts with a Ukrainian site are listed under hosting in Ukraine, VPS under VPS in Ukraine.
What we will update in the next issue
The address stays, the data and the date in the heading change. In November we will re-measure TTFB, update prices and add new reviews. A host that slips on speed or reviews moves down; one that improves moves up.
A ranking of ten rows does not answer “who is it for”. I look at three things: where the audience is, whether there is a trial, and how many reviews stand behind the score. The rest you can check by hand in a week.

Bottom line
For a Ukrainian audience and a modest budget we would start with GMhost, HyperHost or TheHost: servers in Ukraine, cPanel, clear trial or refund terms. For a VPS and the fastest response, look at Friendhosting and Zomro; for a long guarantee and European infrastructure, at Fornex. Measure during a trial before paying anyway. The full list with filters is in the catalog.
FAQ
What is the best hosting in Ukraine in 2026?
There is no single best; it depends on the task. In October 2026, by our data: the highest rating belongs to Fornex (4.9, but only 18 reviews), the fastest site response to Friendhosting (140 ms), the most reviews to Zomro (776), and the lowest entry price to UAhosting (from $1.11 a month). For a site with a Ukrainian audience, start with GMhost, HyperHost or TheHost.
How often is the Ukrainian hosting ranking updated?
Every month. We re-measure TTFB, update prices and add new reviews. The current issue is October 2026 (tests of 10.10.2026), and the next one comes out in November.
How much does hosting in Ukraine cost?
Entry prices in our table run from $1.11 to $14.95 a month (UAhosting and Fozzy). That is the cheapest plan, and a working project often needs a pricier one. Compare the price together with renewal, backups and SSL.
Which hosting should a beginner choose in Ukraine?
A beginner will do well with shared hosting or a simple VPS with a ready-made panel (cPanel or ISPmanager) and a trial: GMhost, HyperHost, TheHost. Test support with a question before paying and set up monitoring during the trial.
Do I have to use a server in Ukraine?
No. You need one when data must stay in the country or minimal latency matters. For a regular site, Poland, the Netherlands or Germany give 20 to 40 ms and you will not feel the difference.
Why does the ranking order not match the ratings?
Row order is editorial, while the rating is a separate number built on the methodology's criteria. That is why the table shows the review count, price and TTFB: you can sort the hosts for your own needs.
