In 711, the barbarian commander Tarek ibn Ziyad crossed the Strait of Gibraltar with a handful of soldiers. Arriving from Morocco on the shores of Spain, he gave an order that has gone down in history: “Burn all ships!” There is no way back. Behind was the sea, in front a more numerous enemy. What was left for them? The sword and the courage. With them, they conquered a continent.
Today, for European companies, the context is different, but the pressure is just as great.
We are navigating a volatile economic landscape, with increasingly stringent regulations (see NIS2, GDPR, AI Act), while IT infrastructure costs are rising and data sovereignty is becoming a strategic stake.
This is where LumaDock comes in, the European VPS hosting solution launched by LifeinCloud, designed for teams that choose to no longer rely on the “ships” of others, but to move forward with confidence.
Simplicity that conquers:
With LumaDock, you don’t need an army of DevOps to put a container into production. The intuitive interface and assisted onboarding allow you to launch an app in just a few minutes. You get support for GPU VPS and Performance VPS, scalable storage, and automatic backup, all optimized for freelance developers, agile tech teams, and startups.
A fare that doesn’t keep you captive:
Complete transparency and decent pricing, with no hidden surprises or “exit” fees. In a market where global hyperscalers offer seemingly free services but are difficult to control in the long run, LumaDock provides a healthy, European, and predictable alternative.
Going into production now, not in a week:
Whether we are talking about an MVP, a microservice, or a containerized enterprise application, with LumaDock, you can scale in a few clicks. The time from idea to execution is compressed, and you remain in control, in Frankfurt or Bucharest, depending on the chosen availability area.
The context demands independence:
Current European regulations place increasing emphasis on data sovereignty, cybersecurity, and transparency. Relying on the infrastructure of other continents becomes a vulnerability. Here, LumaDock is built from scratch, in European data centers, with respect for local legislation, and is auditable at any time.
Why “burn” ships?
Because returning to cumbersome, expensive, or opaque models is no longer an option. Because we have real challenges ahead of us, but also unique opportunities. Because sometimes, just like Tarek in the year 711, we have to take the lead and choose technology that gives us freedom, efficiency, and control.
LumaDock isn’t just another VPS hosting. It’s a manifesto for a European digital future where data, budgets, and decisions stay with you.
