Cheap Russian VPSes
Hello.
As you may know, there is a crisis in Russia and $1 went up to 75 roubles from 45 a month ago.
There is a nice website http://vps.menu/ similar to lowendstock, where you can choose and compare VPSes.
200 Roubles ~ $2.8
It may be a good time to buy one.

Interesting idea, now if only I spoke Russian. Heh.. maybe in a year or so there will be European/American sanctions that prevent them from processing VISA/etc. ...
@ValdikSS nice, is that your project?
Any personal experience with BeriHoster? The annual 256MB plan for ~10USD looks very good.
@rm_, no, the authors are unknown. They got account on habrahabr http://habrahabr.ru/users/vps-menu/
There is another project from Leonid239 — http://poiskvps.ru/
Most Russian hosters are fine. I can remember only MCHost which is similar to 123systems except it is more expensive, scammed their clients and even made illegal graffiti advertisments
So stay away from it. Others are probably fine.
You can search for the reviews, just use word "отзывы".
@ValdikSS which one you recommend?
Last time I used VPS in Russia was 5 years ago from some company with "добро" in their name. Something like "Доброхост" or similar. So I cannot really recommend you anything.
Maybe @rm_ can help?
By the way, this is important. For 2 years, we have internet censorship. You may not get access to some banned sites, mostly boards with anime like sankakucomplex, gelbooru, danbooru and similar (full list here http://antizapret.info/). I can't say for upstream VPS ISPs, but for home users some of the ISPs use DPI and ban only certain URLs and not the whole site, some ban IP address, some hijack DNS A-record.
I just ordered a 128mb box at BerryHost. Lets see how this turns out.
@ehab check this thread and the post by @Profforg there: http://lowendtalk.com/discussion/29349/which-russia-ukraine-moldova-vps-provider/p1
Yep, folks may use this situation for pay less in EUR or USD with old prices in Rubles..
@ValdikSS just unadequate Ukrainian, as well we seen..
@fitvpn Excuse me? I'm Russian.
@ValdikSS Haha, that's Russia. Pretty brave by them when you keep in mind, you have to send your ID when ordering a .ru domain..
@nexusrain you can buy VPS without registering a domain.
Sure, I just meant because of the graffiti if they write their domain there and the registrar or whoever got the ID details..
I bought a 256MB VPS from BeriHoster. The port is capped to 8Mbps download and upload, you can see it hard set in the vemanager panel.
Previously I had a VPS from FirstVDS but there were a lot of network outages daily and I hope this one will perform better.
EDIT: also for people wondering, they do accept Paypal and you can set the billmanager panel in English
So far how is it working?
Thanks
@ValdikSS
Thanks for the list I signedup with berihoster.ru and its cool they they accept my low $2 deposit, but with that I have almost enough for 3 month. so thanks again for that link.
@MuZo
Let me know how they are, I have not created a vps yet because I am saving money till I have a use for it lol. the 8Mbps limit sucks hmm I wonder what the connection would be like for someone in New York like me :-/
@ben78 @Stevie
Quite good, just a random reboot this morning but way better uptime than FirstVDS for now.
Network isn't that good but for this price I excepted it
5.178.80.20 is in Selectel DC in St. Petersburg.
They also do some kind of disk caching
@MuZo
Ok thanks so much for the info, well the speedtest is better then what I thought, and I would not do anything network intensive related so that would not be much of a problem.
But the random reboot already I do not like, after 2 weeks or a month keep us updated, I really hope this was just a rare hiccup
Thanks!
