Ihor review

The entry plan is Start at RUB 100, billed on monthly terms. It comes with Start: 1 vCPU, 768 MB RAM, 7 GB NVMe/SSD, which suits small jobs rather than busy production workloads. Larger VPS tiers and dedicated servers cost more, so Start is the reference point for any budget comparison.

Included traffic is Unlimited traffic up to 200 Mbit/s. The limit that matters is port speed rather than a monthly data allowance, so a busy build server or game instance does not produce an extra data bill. Judge outbound-heavy workloads against that speed.

Ihor runs 2 locations across RU and FI. Buyers pick a Russian or a Finnish site, which suits European traffic and Russian users, but placement in other markets is not on offer. The service is provided by IHOR HOSTING LTD, registered in the United Kingdom.

The VPS range covers linux and windows, so Linux and Windows Server images are both available across the same plans. The entry plan Start at RUB 100 can be ordered with either family, which keeps a test build and a production box on one stack inside a single account.

Ihor's server types are vps and bare metal, so dedicated hardware sits alongside virtual servers on the same account and the same support channels. The RU and FI footprint and Unlimited traffic up to 200 Mbit/s carry across the catalogue, which helps a project that starts virtual and moves to dedicated later.

Support runs on email, phone and help centre, covering email, phone, chat and a help centre. That mix suits a quick chat answer during an incident and a written trail afterwards. The service level agreement commits to 99.98% uptime.

DDoS protection is provided at the data centre level, so it does not have to be bought as a separate add-on. The service level agreement commits to 99.98% uptime. Coverage is stated at data centre level rather than per server, which matters for buyers with a specific mitigation requirement.

Start is priced at RUB 100, above the site median of €5.83. SberCloud lists RUB 23.75, Aruba €1.99 and UCloud $5.34, the latter two in other currencies, so the gap shifts with the exchange rate applied.
