http://www.hostkey.ru accept paypal.
For Moldova:
http://getkvm.com/kvm-metered.html
Do note: this is no longer run by the guy who started it here on LET, it is now owned by Bradler & Krantz GmbH & Co KG (providerservice.com). The lowest cost version is now 6.50 GBP (which I think is 11 dollars) but I bought one way back in the day (read: was cheaper) and they run quite a steady setup still. So may not be in the budget now of the low end, but still a good service if you are looking for something reliable in Moldova.
Cheers!
Wow, that's pretty cheap for unmetered traffic. I wonder how good their network is...
I did a bit of research and I think they're reselling http://firstvds.ru.
The smallest OpenVZ plan is sold there for 60RUB / ~1.27$.
All OpenVZ/KVM plans, except the KVM-256, are the same as here. They probabilly have a reseller discount as big KVM vpses are cheaper by them.
The KVM-256 might be hosted on their own hardware as their AS only has a /24 and only peers with RTCOMM which correspond with the DC written on their site.
LOL!
Yes, they are.
They have very well uptime 99.9%+, they'll not disappear (because they're very big). Performance are not top notch, but it's not bad.
About myvps.ru - i recommend to use only their Moscow location. Other locations may be reselling, however their Moscow services are on their Co-located nodes (as i know).
It's not correct to do such compare. You will find many providers with similar offers, and none of them are resellers. BTW, i personally used only their KVM plans, so it may be true, but what's the problem with resell (in case if the services are the same and it's even cheaper)?
You have a chance to test yourself. Register with e-mail on some unsecured, but popular, mail hosting (without security features like block of account in case of 'Login from uncommon place'; Russian example: http://mail.ru ) with very simple password for e-mail log-in like 1234 or 000000.
hello everyone, thanks for all your inputs.
so far, hosteasy.eu and getkvm.com seems like good choices. as most russian ones apparently have no paypal; or not trustworthy enough.
@TheLinuxBug
is Bradler & Krantz GmbH & Co. KG (providerservice) which apparently owns GETKVM, trustworthy? also does anyone have a test ip for Getkvm?
@Profforg thanks for the detailed reply. It's a strange practice with Ukrnames, robbing clients. I like how you say they are crooks but still list them under recommendations
there are ups and downs to every service 
I was considering myvps.ru but @rm_ and @MuZo have put me off with their invastigative journalism 
GetKVM is out of stock of MD VPSes https://getkvm.co.uk/portal/cart.php?gid=15
Aside from that they're located at HostEasy [anyway] as per info in http://lowendbox.com/blog/getkvm-4-56month-1024mb-kvm-vps-in-germany-moldova-new-jersey/
And the former owner mentions in comments the bandwidth there used to be unmetered at some point.
For the record, VStoike.ru which I recommended earlier does have Paypal.
Something else to note: Myvps.ru turns out to be from the same company as Netbreeze.ru; and from what I hear the latter one has a below-average reputation for quality. Also tried their speedtest file http://kvm.netbreeze.ru/speed.test, getting absolutely craptastic speeds even within Russia (less than 10 Mbit), not to mention to abroad.
@rm_ thx for the replies. isn't vstoike new though? should it be trusted?
No idea about that, but I'm getting a good impression from them. Also the same company owns a home broadband ISP, so perhaps isn't likely to disappear overnight.
Bought the cheapest plan from firstvds, works fine except the network.
Phone verification was required

Well offering exactly same plans and being in the same datacenter (firstvds is in webdc too) with similar prices makes me think of a reseller. Firstvds also has a "public" reseller program which offers discounts to them: http://firstvds.ru/partner/reseller
There are pros and cons going with a reseller, the main pro I can think of are facilities, for example people search for OVH resellers because they don't want to send them their personal documents or would like to pay with a payment method they don't accept.
The main con is usually the higher price and the delay of communication between the providers. For example if you're with a reseller and your vps goes down but they don't have control over the node, they will have to wait/contact their own provider and leave you "on hold".
If myvps is a reseller of firstvds one advantage would be that they accept paypal and maybe don't do a phone verification.
If somone has a openvz vps from myvps and wants to check, I've got a vps from firstvds and we could see if there are differences.
@Profforg do you have a specific kvm plan with them?
Firstvds network is similar too (little benchmark above), it doesn't prove that they're resellers but it adds to previous points. But yes, it might be unrelated and maybe it's just webdc with a very bad network.
I don't speak any Russian so it's not easy for me to "investigate" and I might be totally wrong about what I'm saying.
From what I've found http://myvps.ru = http://myhosting.ru = http://www.dns-hosting.ru = http://www.netbreeze.net = http://www.i7.ru
Back to OP request
Give a check to http://vdsinside.com located in Ukraine which offers a cheap 3$/month plan and accepts paypal.
About Moldova hosteasy is probably the cheapest and network wise better choice. Another provider is http://www.secured.md which is more expensive and it's a quite common host for warez-linking websites.
I would start trying those cheap offers and see how they perform.
That's correct, all of those websites have the same IP address and office address.
If someone needs help translating something in Russian I can help you out, just PM me.
Vstoike.ru seems be a division of Rnet, Saint-Petersburg home ISP. Domain was registered in 2011 but there no any references in search engines, no topics on forums... Strange. But maybe they simple don't need it all - topics, advertisment, i don't know )
42ms from Hetzner and 26ms from Moscow.
That's true and you can find same information on their websites. They never hiding this.
10-20 mbit/s is the speed, which you should expect from any low-end Russian VPS provider with unlimited bandwidth.
You should not consider firstvds as a hoster. They were acquired recently and their service will only become worser
Ignoring of political situation may lead you to loss of data and money. There are thousands of people who stops to work or don't work correctly because of situation in a country; i personally see this, because this year i have 50% more orders from former clients and when i ask "why do they come to me" i receive an answer "Ukranian guy said he will not work anymore and disappeared with my money" . If you are so crazy to order from small Ukraine hosters, then try to have fresh backup of your data, 'reserve' hoster to move and have only month-to-month contracts.
The problem with vstroike.ru is town. If OP's clients will be from Europe, then it can be a right choice, because Saint-Petersburg have faster connections to Europe. But if OP want hoster in Saint-Petersburg, i guess http://docker.ru/vps/ can be a better solution, since it's clustered hosting from experiensed guys, but pricey though. They also seems to have some good discounts now
BTW Saint-Petersburg providers is having very hard connections to Moscow, it can be 50+ ms sometimes, but 20-30 ms to central Europe at same time.
If OP expect clients from Moscow or eastern Russia - he should go with Moscow's hosters.
This doesn't look too bad, Xen HVM 512MB RAM with 2 IPv4 for about $6.4/month (with the "happyvps51" discount). 100 Mbit unmetered, although only 10 Mbit b/w is guaranteed. And unlike with Netbreeze, I am maxing out my 50 Mbit home Internet connection when downloading their test file ( http://docker.ru/filetest/100mb.bin ).
I know docker.ru, it is good and old company.
42ms from Hetzner, 13ms from Moscow.
I am very sure that i7.ru (netbreeze.net) uses collocation services from Интернет технологии. (Netplace.ru). I have used Netplace's dedicated servers and I can only say positive things about it. Network was excellent and full speed was offered. I am currently using their VDS services and receive close to 100mbps speed. Was also supplied with Intel E5-2630 CPUs.
It seems very true that NetBreeze are overloading their agreed connection and therefore results in poor speed from testing.
The datacentre used is RTKomm (STACK DC), and located within Moscow. RTKomm is currently owned by Rostelecom and is one of the major ISPs in Russia. Excellent speeds should be experienced from a variety of locations.
If you need St. Petersburg ISP, take a look at selectel.ru. Ping from Moscow via TeliaSonera is roughly 12ms. (Tested from Rostelecom)
