Our verdict

MTS Web Services suits teams that want a ruble bill, RU capacity and compliance paperwork already handled by a domestic operator. Entry starts at RUB 2,565.50 to RUB 2,796.48 on 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, so domestic billing and local certifications do the work rather than a low entry price.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • A small entry tier: 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM at RUB 2,565.50 to RUB 2,796.48, with hourly and monthly billing under hourly and monthly and per minute granularity.
  • DDoS protection is included, object storage is S3-compatible, and storage is priced RUB 1.26 to RUB 9.15 per GB per month.
  • Compliance is documented through PCI DSS 4.0.1, ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 20000, with an availability commitment of 99.5% to 99.99%.
  • Support runs on email, phone and help centre, and a test-period credit is available through Grant covering cloud costs during a test period.

Cons

  • There is no free control plane: management costs RUB 8.79, and the high availability option is billed at RUB 23.07.
  • Egress is a real line item, since None, all outbound internet traffic is billed and object storage charges RUB 1.32 per GB.
  • All capacity sits in 1 location in Russia, so a multi-region design has nowhere else to land.

Who it suits

  • Teams in Russia that want capacity in RU near their own users and a ruble bill.
  • Engineers running linux and windows workloads who also need Kubernetes, object storage and GPU hours from one vendor.
  • Organisations whose compliance file needs the certifications listed in PCI DSS 4.0.1, ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 20000.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Shoppers filtering on the lowest entry price: Aruba starts at €1.99 and UCloud at $5.34, both quoted outside the ruble.
  • Buyers in the same market who want a lower starting tier: SberCloud lists RUB 23.75.

Pricing

The entry configuration is listed at RUB 2,565.50 to RUB 2,796.48, a range for the smallest tier, and the same range is what a reader budgets for a full term since no lower renewal rate is published. Grant covering cloud costs during a test period also covers cloud cost during a test period, which lets a team try the platform before a longer commitment.

What it does well

The starting server is 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, sized for staging and small services. Everything runs in RU and the platform lists 1 location, so latency and data residency resolve to the same market. Teams that need another geography for failover will decide on this constraint before price.

How MTS Web Services (MWS) compares

Frequently asked questions

What does the smallest MTS Web Services VPS cost?+

The entry configuration is 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM and its published price runs RUB 2,565.50 to RUB 2,796.48. Billing is hourly or monthly under hourly and monthly, with per minute granularity on metered compute. Both linux and windows images are available for that tier.

Is there a free trial or credit for new customers?+

Grant covering cloud costs during a test period is available, which covers cloud cost during a test period rather than a permanent free plan. Teams can size a workload on the entry configuration 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM first, then decide on a longer term. Support is available through email, phone and help centre during that test.

Where are MWS servers located?+

Capacity sits in Russia, with 1 location listed on the regions page, and the operator's headquarters country is RU. Data residency is straightforward for Russian workloads, but a multi-region failover plan has nowhere else to land inside this platform. Interconnect is offered in preview for dedicated links.

Does Kubernetes cost extra to manage here?+

There is no free control plane. The management fee runs RUB 8.79 and the high availability option is billed at RUB 23.07, with node costs on top. That extra line is worth weighing against a managed cluster before committing to Kubernetes here.

How much does it cost to move data off the platform?+

Outbound internet traffic is charged, and None, all outbound internet traffic is billed. Object storage egress runs RUB 1.32 per GB, while inbound traffic is not billed. That makes image-heavy or media workloads costlier than the compute line alone suggests, and inter-zone traffic is billed separately too.

Is DDoS protection included, and what support comes with it?+

DDoS protection is included on the virtual infrastructure, and support runs on email, phone and help centre. The availability commitment is 99.5% to 99.99%, so a service level is documented rather than implied. Storage is limited to object storage, which is S3-compatible.

Can I run GPU workloads on MWS?+

The listed accelerator is NVIDIA A100 80GB, and GPU time starts at RUB 216.03 on metered compute. Billing granularity of per minute applies, so short training runs are easy to stop. A narrower accelerator range limits variety for teams shopping across several card generations.

What compliance certifications does it hold?+

The platform lists PCI DSS 4.0.1, ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 20000, covering payment card and information security standards alongside Russian data protection law. The contracting entity is MWS LLC (OOO "MVS"), which matters for procurement paperwork and vendor onboarding in the region.
