| 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 |
|---|---|
| Price | none stated |
| Limits | |
| Binding | per-object-cap 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. |
| Identity | card (inferred, not read) 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. |
| Egress | 3 TB a month at 100 Mbit/s, stated per plan free allowance: 3 TB |
| Retention | the server persists while paid; the page states no deletion clock |
| Interface | ssh, rest 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 | documented 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 |
