Russia VPS hosting in Moscow

Why host in Russia

A visitor in Moscow reaches a server in Moscow in 5–25 ms across CIS, through MSK-IX, Rostelecom. The same visitor reaching a server on another continent adds 150 to 300 milliseconds to every round trip, and an HTTPS page load makes several before the first byte arrives. Choosing the region is the cheapest performance decision you will make, and it needs no work on your part beyond ticking the right box at checkout.

Moscow region at a glance

Moscow is an edge region: the hardware is operated in a partner facility to our specification, under our monitoring and our SLA. Hardware replacement can take longer here than in a core region, and we would rather say so than have you find out during an incident.

What a Russia VPS costs, plan by plan

Prices in Russia are listed in US dollars per month, even though the local currency is the RUB. Russia has a price ladder of its own rather than a blended global rate. The entry plan, VPS 1C-2G, is $19.99 a month for 1 core and 2 GB of RAM; VPS 2C-4G (2 cores, 4 GB) is $34.99. The lowest-priced KryoHost region is Germany at $14.99 for its entry plan, so Russia sits 33% above it. The most expensive region is Kuwait at $42.99.

Memory is what a growing site runs out of first, so the price of each gigabyte is the useful comparison. VPS 4C-16G is the cheapest way to buy RAM in Moscow, at $5.62 per gigabyte, and the smallest plan costs $9.99 per gigabyte. If you expect to need more than 4 GB within a year, starting on a mid-size plan costs less than outgrowing the smallest one and migrating.

What people run in Moscow, and what it needs

The businesses that host in Russia most often are the ones in the list below. For each, this is what the server needs, and which plan sold in Moscow fits it.

CIS-facing portals: size for the database, not the web server

Application servers are usually limited by the database and by memory, long before the CPU. In Moscow the usual starting point is VPS 1C-4G at $24.99 a month (1 core, 4 GB of RAM), which leaves room for the app, a database and a cache. Hosting in the market you sell to also shortens every API call your customers make, and MSK-IX, Rostelecom keeps that traffic on regional routes.

Russian-language SEO: bandwidth and caching matter most

A content or media site is mostly serving files, so what you buy is bandwidth and what you configure is caching. Start on VPS 1C-4G (4 GB of RAM, $24.99 a month), put a page cache in front of the application and serve images with long cache lifetimes. Readers in Russia get the first byte quickly from Moscow at 5–25 ms across CIS, and a CDN in front can handle visitors from elsewhere.

Regional API endpoints: a small server close to the audience

Edge and routing roles want many small, well-placed servers rather than one large one. VPS 1C-2G at $19.99 a month is enough for a cache, a relay or a tracking endpoint, and Moscow puts it 5–25 ms across CIS from the users it serves. Place the origin where most of your traffic is generated and use Russia to shorten the path to the people who read from it.

Regions near Moscow

Russia is one of 47 country regions KryoHost sells. If your visitors are split between Russia and a neighbour, the table lists the closest alternatives with their typical latency and entry price. Germany is the lowest-priced of these at $14.99 a month, $5.00 less than Russia for the entry plan. Choose it only if most of your visitors are closer to Frankfurt than to Moscow.

Every region runs the same platform, so moving between them later is a migration our team handles at no charge, not a rebuild. Browse the full list on the VPS hosting page.

What every KryoHost region includes

• KVM virtualisation with full root access and a dedicated IPv4 address
• NVMe storage and reserved CPU and RAM, not a shared container
• Always-on network-level DDoS filtering
• Free migration from your current host, handled by our team
• Support around the clock: tickets and live chat

Hardware, security, migration and support are covered once, in full, on the VPS hosting page, rather than repeated on every country page. Questions about Russia specifically are best put to our team on live chat.
