[diadomraz]

Can anybody recommend a dedicated server hosting in Russia?
What I need is

Core2Duo CPU or better
2-4 GB RAM
HDD 2x250 GB RAID1
bandwidth at least 300GB per month preferably on 100Mbps port
remote reboot or KVM
OS CentOS or RHEL

I'm looking at www.depohost.ru which offers similar configurations for about 200 USD, but any other suggestions are welcome

[rustelekom]

eserver.ru
agava.ru
masterhost.ru

but please note that foreign traffic can be expensive so you need discuss with sales before making order.

[diadomraz]

Thanks for the reply. Do you now if they will accept orders from a non-russian company and whether they support payment methods like PayPal or credit card. I've been looking at a lot of russian providers recently and in most cases their payment methods won't work for us.

Are you only looking for a company in Russia? What are your thoughts on the United States?

[diadomraz]

We have servers in the USA and all over the world. We are aiming for geographical dispersion and Russia is one of the countries we would like to cover. Well not all of it of course but Moscow and Sanct Peterburg will be nice for a start

[rustelekom]

For dedicated server in Russia you should sign contract (if you are firm). Credit card should not be problem as many companies in Russia accept credit card without any problem. I forgot about this company: http://www.rusonyx.ru/hosting/dedicated/
But main problem is that due to some local bureaucracy and legislation it is hard enough receive payments from foreigners. If you already have check you could see that many firms have not English version of sites and all prices listed in Roubles only. But anyway you could find good offer. Try post your request on http://forum.hostobzor.ru/

Try also mchost.ru , as far as I hear they are pretty good
And yeah agava.ru, also has good reputation in Russia.
As Russtelekom said try to post this thread either on webhostingtalk.ru or http://forum.hostobzor.ru/

Oh? so foreign traffic is expensive there too?
Same as Korea.

If foreign traffic is expensive and payment is a problem. Check for neighbouring countries, maybe Finland, Estonia, Latvia or why not Sweden could be a good choice?

[rustelekom]

Yes, it CAN be expensive especially for incoming traffic. It is long story to explain more but in short: inside Russia (for local Russian ip's range) traffic in most case is free and unlimited when you follow terms 1/4 (in/out) or so and when you generate local Russian traffic more than foreign traffic. Here we have few host who can offer you just some metered traffic in+out 500, 1000, 2000 Gb per month but you need touch to sales to get detailed quote.

In most cases, traffic is expensive almost everywhere outside of the U.S. You can get great pricing from Germany, UK, France, and the US. Outside of those locations it can start getting very expensive. Netherlands is questionable on costs depending on the provider.

Russia - very difficult to find good providers that don't have blacklisted IP's all over the place.

[rustelekom]

Note: To protect Russia host from insinuation i must say that ServerOrigin at least wrong in his mention. You can find black listed ip's (BTW. who blacklist ip's? SPEWS - known racketers?) anywhere, anytime and under any host in the world.

I didn't mean blacklisted in it's natural form. I meant it more in the form of several services such email(spam) and well-known botnet sources such as Snort, etc. Many keep lists of blacklisted IP's linked to RBN.

[rustelekom]

RBN was myth. To be honest it is another insinuation genuine made by Spamhaus. "RBN" does nothing but name for few independent spammer/hacker groups. It was never managed by one firm or one person and it was not exist in real life as firm/corporation. I think Spamhaus just call these "association" as RBN for convenience but then this name was widely used by newspapers etc. Another "Red Alert" but after cold war So, because, RBN never exist as monolith group of firm or person how it is possible be "linked" to something which never were exist?
But, yes, Spamhaus still list some big Russian host like masterhost.ru (about 40-60k clients if i not wrong). I don't know why they so "love" Russian firms and person but do you have any explanation why listing from http://www.spamhaus.org/sbl/sbl.lasso?query=SBL57505 still active (dated on 07-Aug-2007)? Where is their own terms about blocking timeouts etc. and why this domain now hosted on rackspace.com and without any problem ? It is just one of example about how Spamhaus segregate internet providers. Spamhaus look more and more biased and so i don't know any serious provider who use their antispam list "as is". But i am sorry for offtopic, Spamhaus is just my pet peeve They just continuously call us as "cybercrime" host and use fake reason as evidence.

I agree. It appears you know more about it than I do. I just know we mitigate DDoS attacks from 'RBN' listed IP's on a daily basis. Not good traffic, bad traffic. Many of those IP's are listed as linked to RBN in several places.

Myth or not, something was going on with it
