Cloud and hosting

Yes. If a sector rule, a customer contract or simply your own preference means data must remain in the country, we can set up and manage environments in a data centre in Türkiye, choosing the provider together with you. Where no such requirement exists, Hetzner in Germany and Finland, OVHcloud and Azure and AWS in their EU regions tend to cost less. Whichever route you take, we document the storage location in writing, and your legal adviser can confirm whether it counts as a cross-border transfer under KVKK.

It is the question we hear most, and a fair one. Once the server leaves the building, the internet line becomes part of the system. Most firms add a backup connection from a second operator, mobile or wired, next to the fibre, and the router or firewall fails over to it automatically. If every line in the office is gone, staff can still reach the same server from home or through a phone hotspot. A broken server in the back room offers no such fallback.

The provider is responsible for power, network and hardware. Everything inside the operating system is on us: patching, configuration, backups, monitoring and responding to alerts. This is covered by our Start plan, which begins at €490 per month plus VAT, by the Business and Premium plans, or charged by time at €55 per hour plus VAT. None of it requires anyone to visit your office.

Yes, that is a typical use. Under the Tax Procedure Law (VUK) and related rules, books and records, e-Fatura, e-Arşiv and e-Defter files among them, have to be retained and stay legible for the statutory period. Put them in an S3 bucket with object lock and nobody, whether a careless colleague or a piece of malware, can remove or edit a file until its retention date passes. Your mali müşavir tells you what to keep and for how long. Our part is picking formats that a future computer can still read and organising folders the way an accountant would look for things.

Not necessarily. Server hardware in Türkiye is also largely priced against foreign currency, so exchange rate exposure exists either way; the difference is timing, all at once when you buy or month by month when you rent. For a business whose workload has not changed in years and which already has a suitable server room, owning can come out ahead over five years. For one with seasonal sales, new branches or a remote team, renting usually wins because you only pay for the capacity you use. Before you decide, we put the full cost of both scenarios in front of you using your numbers.

No. Provider accounts and agreements are set up under your company, and data is stored in formats that travel. On request we deliver disk images, database exports and a written description of the environment, which lets a different team take over or lets you pull the whole thing back under your own roof.
