📜 Plan description

📄 Editorial Review

FirstVDS is a long-established Russian VDS/VPS hosting provider operated by AO "IOT", with activity dating back to 2002. The company is mainly focused on virtual dedicated servers rather than classic shared hosting, making it more relevant for developers, agencies, system administrators, online shops, Bitrix projects, 1C environments, storage workloads, and businesses that need configurable server infrastructure.

Their core product range includes KVM-based VDS/VPS, Windows VPS, GPU servers, storage servers, object storage, DNS hosting, SSL certificates, domain registration, backup services, DDoS protection, Bitrix licenses, Exchange mail, and server administration services.

The standard VDS/VPS plans are suitable for quick deployment and include a dedicated IP address, operating system installation, SSH access, and a one-month ispmanager Lite license. These plans cover small test servers, WordPress projects, blogs, online stores, game servers, 1C workloads, and higher-traffic websites.

VDS Forcing is the flexible configuration line, starting from 859 RUB/month, with scaling up to 128 CPU cores, 512 GB RAM, and 4000 GB NVMe. This option is useful for customers who prefer to build a server configuration around exact resource needs rather than choosing only from predefined packages.

CPU Turbo is designed for performance-sensitive websites and applications, especially 1C-Bitrix, online stores, complex front-end applications, and high-load projects. It uses high-frequency AMD Ryzen processors up to 5.7 GHz, DDR5 memory, and NVMe storage, with prices starting from 717 RUB/month.

VDS Atlant is the more fault-tolerant VPS family, using Ceph-based distributed NVMe storage, duplicated network equipment, and data replication. It scales up to 192 CPU cores, 768 GB RAM, and 8 TB NVMe, with free automatic backup available for this product line.

VDS Storage is made for file storage, backups, Nextcloud-style storage, archives, and data-heavy workloads. It supports HDD or NVMe storage up to 5000 GB, starting from 699 RUB/month. The distinction between reserved and non-reserved storage is important, because non-reserved RAID0-style storage has a higher data-loss risk if a drive fails.

The GPU VDS line uses NVIDIA RTX 4090, L4, and L40S GPUs with passthrough. These servers are suitable for machine learning, neural networks, rendering, Stable Diffusion, LLM inference, big data, and other GPU-intensive workloads. Pricing starts from 1150 RUB/day, which makes the service practical for temporary high-performance compute tasks.

FirstVDS also offers VDS services in Amsterdam, Netherlands and Almaty, Kazakhstan. The Netherlands location is useful for European audiences and includes DDoS-Guard-protected connectivity, while the Kazakhstan option is useful for projects needing a Central Asian location and broader payment flexibility.

For Microsoft workloads, Windows VPS includes licensed Windows Server 2019 / 2022, KVM virtualization, RDP access, and use cases such as 1C, Forex software, .NET, MS SQL, IIS, and Windows-based game servers. Prices start from 1119 RUB/month.

The website is only in Russian (No English support), and pricing is shown in Russian rubles. Some payment routes support foreign cards, with conversion depending on the selected payment method. Overall, FirstVDS is strongest for Russian-speaking customers, Russian and CIS-region businesses, technical users, and customers who want direct VPS control with optional managed support.
