Our verdict

FirstVDS is a VPS host for developers and small teams who want unlimited traffic, DDoS protection and a phone line rather than a ticket queue. The Progrev entry tier starts at RUB 299, and object storage is priced alongside it.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Traffic is unlimited at the shared port speed, and DDoS protection is included rather than sold as an add-on.
  • Servers run in 3 locations across RU, NL and KZ, with Moscow and Amsterdam named in the traffic terms.
  • Both linux and windows are supported, so Windows workloads run on the same provider.
  • Support runs on phone, email and help centre, so a phone line sits alongside email, a help centre and a community board.

Cons

  • Billing runs on monthly terms, so the Progrev plan at RUB 299 covers a full month whatever the load.
  • With 3 locations across RU, NL and KZ, buyers who want several regions have little choice here.
  • Object storage runs in 1 region, so a bucket has no second region to fail over to.

Who it suits

  • Small teams in Russia, NL and KZ that want VPS, object storage and GPU instances from one provider.
  • Game server operators, since game server and forex is the workload list FirstVDS highlights.
  • Buyers who want a phone line rather than a ticket queue, given phone, email and help centre.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Price-first buyers: SberCloud at RUB 23.75 and Aruba at €1.99 both enter below the RUB 299 Progrev tier.
  • Multi-region planners, since 3 locations across RU, NL and KZ leave little room for a spread footprint.

What it does well

The entry plan is 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 15 GB SSD (Progrev plan), a small starter box sized for a single site or app. Traffic is unlimited at the shared port speed, with a monthly allowance and a faster port in Moscow and a mid-range port in Amsterdam. Servers run in 3 locations across RU, NL and KZ, so placement decides the port speed.

Who runs it

FirstVDS is registered as AO IOT (АО «ИОТ») and headquartered in Russia, founded in 2002. Support runs on phone, email and help centre, so phone contact sits alongside email, a help centre and a community board, with live chat the only channel missing from that list, which matters most when a server goes down at short notice.

How FirstVDS compares

Frequently asked questions

What does the FirstVDS entry plan cost?+

The entry plan is 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 15 GB SSD (Progrev plan), priced at RUB 299 on monthly billing. Progrev is the tier to budget with, and because the charge is a flat monthly amount rather than a usage meter, the same figure covers the whole billing period.

Can I pay by the hour or by the second?+

Not on this plan range. Billing runs on monthly terms only, so there is no hourly or per-second meter. That suits a server that runs continuously, and it works out expensive for anything short lived or idle for part of the month.

How much traffic is included with a VPS?+

Traffic is unlimited at the shared port speed, with a monthly allowance and a faster port in Moscow, and a mid-range port in Amsterdam. Because servers sit in 3 locations across RU, NL and KZ, the port speed and traffic terms depend on where the VPS is placed.

How much does object storage cost?+

Object storage is billed at RUB 2.50 per GB per month and runs in 1 region, so there is nowhere outside that region to fail over to. The service speaks the standard object storage API, which lets existing bucket tools and SDKs point at it without rework.

Is there an egress charge on object storage?+

Neither outbound nor inbound traffic is billed, and Unlimited: outbound and inbound traffic are not charged is the stated policy. With storage at RUB 2.50 per GB per month, moving data in or out does not add a transfer line to a storage bill.

Which GPU models can I rent?+

The GPU range covers RTX 4090, RTX 5090 and L4, so both desktop-class and data-centre cards sit in the same list. That lets a small inference job and a heavier training run come from one catalogue, with the models offered directly by the host.

How do I reach support?+

Support runs on phone, email and help centre, so phone, email, a help centre and a community board are all available, with live chat the only channel missing from that list. The phone line is the quickest route during an outage, since it does not depend on a written ticket.

How does the entry price compare with the alternatives?+

FirstVDS charges RUB 299 for the Progrev plan, which sits above the €5.83 entry price median across the site. SberCloud starts at RUB 23.75, Aruba at €1.99 in euros, and UCloud at $5.34 in dollars.
