With the servers in Russia you would have caused yourself more trouble than it was worth.

We just planned a flight to Russia to reduce power costs. All servers will be loaded on the Plane shortly and moved to Russia to reduce Power costs

I picked up one of the Value-01 about 2 months ago and it's a nice little box. Good network performance to the UK, EU, and Russia. 👍 Barely a blip on the uptime that wasn't me rebooting.

This. If Putin says 'niet internet' then you can't connect. Except you live in Russia.

As far as I know the sanctions are not targeting russian companies in general. There is gateways like cardlink, that allow payments in rubel from any bank, and ofc cryptostuff.

Is there any obvious reason to have a VPS in Russia over other countries if you are not in Russia?

I'm looking for a cheap VPS in Russia or other CIS country.

Price its different on locations, so you need to cancel in Russia and create on USA

Kiev, G-Core Labs (5.188.6.1) 175ms → RU Russia, Moscow, G-Core Labs (92.223.103.1) 175ms → SE Sweden, Microsoft Azure (20.150.44.4) 176ms → NO Norway, Microsoft Azure (20.150.53.4) 177ms → BG Bulgar

Why not? Will Russia's network get completely isolated from the rest of the world? Someone said that months ago, but by now(2022-7-30) Russians haven't cut their fibers. Do you still believe that?

Can't move VPS from Russia to USA.

Would your customers really trust you when they find out that their emails are sent into Russia?

I would also echo previous comment about Russia as well. Friendly ties with Turkmenistan and seemingly much freer (although still limited) internet access.

will now be considered "Russia" by Google because of the sudden spike of users that choose this
