What is a reputable provider?
Netengi.ru (Almost 7/24 live support. Very good support. Starting $4,4/monthly), en.ihor.ru, ruvds.com, vstoike.ru (veesp.com), vscale.io, firstbyte.ru, isplevel.com, memvds.ru
Other providers list: poiskvps.com and vds.click
Do not forget to thank me!!!
hostkey.com
vstoike
Stay away from those clowns, they charge a monthly fee per each single IPv6 (a proper /64 would cost trillions USD per month with them...)
Veesp is reputable, Vscale should also be okay.
Avoid those who use "BillManager" (this crap) or still use the term "VDS" (the latter somehow happens to be a black mark, a sign of the product being insanely oversold OpenVZ with weird restrictions and poor support).
@rm_ Lol. Idiot. Itldc.com (big provider) also uses BillManager. Is it illegal to use BillManager? You stupid boy.
!
When you say "reputable" first thing that comes to mind is masterhost.
There is also jino, been using them for personal mail for very long time, like ~10 years. In terms of vps-es they offer cheap nat by default (with optional dedicated ip-s) vm-s with daily billing.
Im gonna check out the Veesp 3 day free trial thing
Ive used HostKey before a long time ago. Not too bad (not too great either).
Might have improved in the past 10 or years though...
where is @vpsru
ok wrong username,
Is anything out of Russia reputable?
When you use a panel which looks and feels like it's from mid 1990s, it's technically not illegal, but does say a lot about you and the level of care you show towards your service and customers.
You must be kidding, they are terrible. http://hosting101.ru/masterhost.ru it's all on the red side. Also there was a case when they lost data of someone I know with a dedi (replacing the wrong HDD or something), then replying to him accidentally quoted the entire internal back and forth about the issue, with all the attempts to shift the blame and talking about the customer in a really rude way between themselves. No screenshots remain as that was quite some time ago, so just take my advice to avoid.
Well, each provider has bad reviews, it is unavoidable, especially if you have a lot of clients.
I was talking more about the fact that they are in business for a very long time, and i worked in company which had corporate site hosted there somwhere in around ~2005-2007 and had no issues working with their support and no downtimes.
Here are a couple that may be reasonable considerations:
The following I don't believe are based in Russia, but do have VMs available there:
FirstByte is mostly a crap to my knowledge. RuVDS, IHOR both are not top ones either.
What about myvps.ru? They appear to (re)sell netbreeze.ru vpsses, but with different packages/pricing. They've been stable for me for a few years now, aside from some ddos impacting their infra for 24h or so a few months back.
But in this case, as Steam would put it, what they get is "Overwhelmingly Negative". Really, the only good thing people could say about them, is that they have support, and that it's in Russian. (duh!)
justhost.ru
skyhost.ru
invs.ru
This has been my experience as well...I don't know why, but I agree with your correlation.
active.by sells VPS physically hosted in Minsk which is geographically closer to Moscow/St. Petersburg than most of Russia. Price is not competitive with W. European/N. American providers - but it's where you want it.
They are a subsidiary of Softline, a Russian IT conglomerate that does IT stuff in emerging markets (CIS, Asia, the Americas, ...)
Your trolling is cringy. Which part of "SITUATED in Russia" you didn't understand?
When people make requests of countries, they are usually interested in a) geography, b) language of website/staff or c) laws.
Vladivostok is in Russia but, if you think in terms of how far the crow flies, New York is actually closer to Russia's population centers (Moscow/St. Petersburg) than Vladivostok. Minsk is just a few ms away, and the language/laws are pretty much the same.
Not sure how that recommendation could be construed as trolling and/or cringy. Maybe your autism spectrum disorder is influencing it, but I'll let you work that out with that special person you trust to help you through life.
plus...
Veesp has been quite good for me during the last 1-2 years.
@Ympker
If youre still looking for a Russia provider, we are selling VPS for as low as $4.99
In the heart of Russia MOSCOW
https://hostslayer.com/russia-openvz.html
I have two "VDS" servers with BGP at Melbicom in RU and NL who use ISPsystems ISPmanager software and haven't had any issues so far.
Meanwhile New York is not situated in Russia (YET), while Vladivostok is. I suggest that you don't try to second-guess the OP, especially as they have emphasized the word SITUATED, as in not "close by", not "nearby with", not "having a low ping to", etc.
What does "situated" mean in this context? Linode has a location in Japan, but their offices are in New Jersey. Is Linode situated in Japan, New Jersey, or both?
You and @Yura are just upset that your country's IT sector just lost a market of 40+ million people. Yet you're upset about a Russian company profiting off BY, a country of polite people that is still buying your country's crap while both of our countries fall apart...
If someone asked for a "provider situated in Japan", Linode would not qualify indeed, but ones such as Ablenet and Conoha would. Not sure what the OP meant exactly either, but for any reasonable reader these two words would not mean anything other than a requirement for a provider itself being in the country (which in turn means jurisdiction), not just "having a location in", one of many, with HQ somewhere else.
Slowly claps
Oh and stop bringing politics into everything.
So by this logic - active.by is not situated in BY either, because it's owned by a Russian company (Softline). So where is it "situated" then?
.... so I am right.
active.by is just a RU brand folks, as I stated before, just like how OVH is no more a Canadian company/no less a French company just because it sells VPS out of Beauharnois.
All I did was make a good recommendation. You and @Yura got upset for some illogical reason. Pretty sure I know why...
