Cheap Siberian VPS
I have a VPS on Aliyun in Beijing and one on Ramnode in Amsterdam and I need to suffle small amounts of data (anywhere from one packet to 1MB) about once every 10 minutes as quickly as possible. Obviously direct routing sucks, so I'm looking for a dirt-cheap VPS that will just make two outbound connections somewhere along the TEA route (ie Novosibirsk, Krasnoyarsk, etc), preferably without having to send a copy of my passport, though Webmoney is generally fine.
Does anyone have experience with sale-vps.ru, or anyone else along that route (hosting.rtcomm-sibir.ru looks less sketchy?). XHostFire seems to have been out of stock for some time now, so thats maybe less of an option.

@deployvm
EDIT: he runs xhostfire
EDIT2: you might give a look at http://infobox.ru/vps/linux/, they offer services in Krasnoyarsk, no idea about quality / ID check
Yea, I couldn't find a test IP for infobox so I couldn't confirm their routing works for me, sadly.
Infobox Krasnoyarsk test ip: 109.120.174.1 .
They do accept Webmoney and Credit cards.
OMFG ping is about 350 msecs from buenos aires LOL!
I bet they have better PUE than OVH :P
Speedtest and traceroute from Quadranet Dallas ( @Quadranet_Adam might be interested )
@alexvolk thanks! Did you have to verify your identity? Or did they not care if you paid with cc?
they didn't ask from me anything but not sure about you
Ouch, just got home and checked, latency to Beijing is 210-220ms, whereas XHostFire is reliably 100-110
A guy from hostloc?
If u r on CT network, this latency is common, as this IP will route London.
CU routed Rostelecom and the latency should be... lower.
Xhostfire's NSK location is pure Rostelecom network, so both CT and CU will go directly.
Don't buy InfoBox ever! One of the worstest hosting in Russia.
Actually, there is no decent hosting in Russia. I'm tried practically all of them and more or less stable hosting is FirstVDS only and they also have periodically problems. Also you didn't get any decent hosting located in Siberia you should to choose Moscow only.
Vstoike.ru is very decent and is well known around LET/LEB with lots of positive reviews. However they are not in Siberia.
credit Card to a russian company? through a 3rd party or directly? If its through a 3rd party company I might trust them, else...
also, they look good, what´s bad about them?
Usually it's always through a 3rd party billing firm. You could also use virtual prepaid credit card to be safer.

That is not correct. I think you have selected generic providers, that don't provide good quality. Russia is a large country with many markets. Cheap offers in Moscow or SPB usually reflect this.

Their website looks good, however there are several restrictions on IO speed and network performance depending on which plan. Infobox in Krasnoyarsk is acceptable, if you want most of the traffic to route via Moscow and then to Europe. They don't really have any direct peering to Asia.
@eugene_ I think @SimWhite just wanted to paste his referral link... so it's easier for him to say "all hosts in Russia are bad except this one and only".
park-web.ru has some Kazan VPS for 3 euro a month, I've not tried them though & not sure about their peering
There are not much providers in Serbia but still you can find one.
If not, then go with Ukraine VPS
You know theres like 5000km between Siberia and Ukraine, right? And that one is in Asia and the other in Europe, right?
sibhoster.ru
Located in Novosibirsk.
No. Actually my software automatically insert some referrals links and I'm sorry for that. And I said exactly what I wanted to say. There is no decent hosting in Russia.
And do not forget about new Russian laws: everything can be forbidden and disconnected tomorrow

Isn't the bandwidth basically crap? That's what I remember from them.
Nyr,
Yes)
They also had Novosibirsk, which is more fitting, but they don't seem to offer it anymore (or at the moment). Here are their test IPs and files: http://www.park-web.ru/content/view/359/201/
Hah.. that bad propaganda tell you bullshit
1USD for 256Mb openvz
Guess needed VPS for VPN. Cheap OpenVZ not have TUN/TAP. Only few providers allow TUN/TAP on OpenVZ
Actually not - The Russian laws do allow the gov to shutdown whatever they want whenever they want for whatever reason that fits them - It's filled under "National security" and "Obscenity", though many other countries have similar laws.
Ended up getting hosting @adman.com, they had decent reviews on hosting101.ru and their peering to China Telecom is as good as anyone else in the region. Bandwidth seems to be OK, though payment was painful (probably violated a few Russian laws to get money in via Bitcoin, but...oh well).
What exactly problem with payments by Bitcoin?
Russian government is against bitcoin. They have basically banned it.
Not entirely true, there is no ban per se, only a vague warning by the Bank of Russia published last year (was enough to scare most businesses into ceasing to accept Bitcoins), but now they say they are investigating this more closely and might consider regulating the cryptocoin matters in some way, rather than banning them outright.
