Hive is a blockchain.
Hundreds of nodes check the blocks to make sure the data is correct.
These servers you are thinking about are web2.
When you request data from this chain, it comes from a node.
Some of these nodes are on rented servers, but that is up to the node op and doesn't impact others who may be running on other services or personal servers.
There is no one central place available to shut down the chain.
You may run a node, if you can.
Were you to do so, it would add to the distributed nature of the chain.
