## FirstByte (msk kvm start)

- `compute/firstbyte-msk-kvm-start` | qualifies-with-caveat | evidence documented | binding per-object-cap | category VPS | tier EU-KVM-SSD-START-FIN1
- identity a placeholder: card and phone unknown | verified 2026-10-24T02:42:36.000Z (live) | stale on 2026-11-24
- url https://firstbyte.ru/vps-vds/cheap/
- price parsed USD 3.22/mo
- free tier: no free tier; a 24-hour test access is offered, and the cheapest buyable plan is RUB 259 a month | unit: none | metered on: none | read on: 2026-10-24 | source: [1]
- per-object cap: not applicable
- retention: the server persists while paid; the page states no deletion clock | source: [1]
- egress: 3 TB a month at 100 Mbit/s, stated per plan | metered: yes | free allowance: 3 TB | source: [1]
- identity: card | detail: an account on the vendor's BILLmanager is required to order; the payment methods and any card hold were not read, so the card tier is inferred from a Russian hoster's usual checkout and is unverified. The site publishes a 24-hour test access before payment.
- interface: ssh, rest
- limits:
  - volume-quota: 3 TB a month of transfer [1]
  - per-ip-shaping: 100 Mbit/s port [1]
  - per-object-cap (binding): 5 GB of SSD on this rung [1]
- binding note: 5 GB of disk and 768 MB of RAM bind long before 3 TB of traffic does; this is a box for one small service, not a working machine.
- interface detail: root over SSH; the order path is a BILLmanager cart with an ispmanager or VMmanager panel available
- tooling: any SSH client; the vendor's BILLmanager cart
- composes with: a Russian KVM box with a dedicated IPv4 at USD 3.22, which is inside the under-USD-5 band but has no advantage over the wider machines there; recorded because its RUB 75 rung is the closest thing the Russian market has to a monthly sub-dollar machine
- reliability: the cheapest rung is marked sold out today, which is the ordinary state of a loss-leader rung at a Russian hoster; the vendor has traded since 2015 per its own copy
- notes: The advertised floor is RUB 75 a month (USD 0.9312) for a 1 vCPU / 768 MB / 7 GB KVM box in Moscow, and that rung is marked sold out today, so it is a price that exists and cannot be bought. The record prices the buyable rung instead, RUB 259 = USD 3.2159, which is the same shape with 5 GB of disk in Finland. Whether the RUB 75 rung returns, and how often, is not published. The plan table does not name an address count; the page copy says the machines come with dedicated IPs, which is not the same as a count on this rung. Payment rails and any card hold were not read.
- evidence note: the plan table, the prices and the stock state were read from the vendor's own page; the RUB conversion uses the Central Bank of Russia table for 2026-10-24
- extras:
  - shape.vcpu: 1
  - shape.ram_gib: 0.75
  - shape.disk_gib: 5
  - billing_model: monthly
  - term: monthly
  - m10h_usd: 3.2159
  - m24h_usd: 3.2159
  - price_arithmetic: RUB 259 a month billed monthly at the CBR rate for 2026-10-24 of 80.5381 RUB per USD = USD 3.2159. The sold-out rung is RUB 75 = USD 0.9312. A VPS bills whether it runs or not, so the 24/7 and 10 h/day figures are the same.
  - free_tier_kind: trial-hours
  - network_out.allow_outbound: yes
  - network_out.allow_inbound_listen: yes
  - network_out.ports: all
  - network_out.static_ip: yes
  - network_out.ipv6: yes
  - session_cap.restart_required: no
  - session_cap.note: none; it is a KVM virtual machine
  - renewal_usd: 3.2159
  - renewal_note: the page prints one price per rung and no strike-through; no promo end date is published

## FirstByte (eu kvm ssd start fin1)

- `egress/firstbyte-eu-kvm-ssd-start-fin1` | paid-only | evidence documented | binding volume-quota | category cheap KVM VPS | tier EU-KVM-SSD-START-FIN1
- identity a placeholder: card and phone unknown | verified 2026-11-04T05:55:18.032Z (live) | stale on 2026-12-05
- url https://firstbyte.ru/vps-vds/cheap/
- free tier: No free tier. EU-KVM-SSD-START-FIN1 (the first European row of the vendor cheap-VPS table) is RUB 259 a month: 1 vCPU, 768 MB RAM, 5 GB SSD, 100 Mbit/s channel with 3 TB a month. | unit: none | metered on: none | read on: 2026-11-04 | source: [1] | note: The aggregator row 'KVM-SSD-START-1' lists 7 TB, 8 GB SSD and USD 0.84 a month in Moscow; the vendor table shows the Moscow row MSK-KVM-SSD-START1 at RUB 75 with 3 TB, 7 GB SSD and marked sold out, so the aggregator's 7 TB is not on the vendor page.
- per-object cap: not applicable: a VPS, not an object store | source: [1]
- retention: not applicable | source: [1]
- egress: 3 TB a month on a 100 Mbit/s channel, stated per plan row; the page prints no overage price and no throttle after the 3 TB. | metered: yes | free allowance: 3 TB a month | source: [1]

- interface: ssh
- limits:
  - volume-quota (binding): 3 TB a month on a 100 Mbit/s channel [1]
  - per-ip-shaping: the Moscow START row cannot change its IP address; the European rows state no such restriction [1]
- binding note: 3 TB a month is the first number to fail; 5 GB of disk and 768 MB of RAM limit what runs, but they do not fail on a schedule.
- interface detail: Unmanaged KVM VPS; the page names no port or protocol filter, and states that the ispmanager panel is not supported and the owner runs the server.
- tooling: Any SSH client.
- composes with: A 100 Mbit/s European box with 3 TB a month: about 3 TB of outbound transfer a month fits a small relay or fetch node; ports and protocols are not restricted on the page read.
- reliability: The cheapest Moscow START row of the same table is marked sold out; the European rows carry an order link.
- notes: Cheapest orderable START row is RUB 259 a month; the RUB 75 Moscow row is sold out.
- evidence note: Price, channel and monthly volume are quoted from the vendor's table. Identity and payment methods are behind a sign-up.
