Russian hosting provider RUVDS, specializing in the provision of enterprise-class cloud services according to the IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) model, offers affordable tariff plans both in the domestic market and abroad.

The company provides its clients with virtual computing infrastructure in Russia, the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland and the UK. The rental of virtual dedicated servers VDS (Virtual Dedicated Server) and virtual private servers VPS (Virtual Private Server) offered by RUVDS differs in more than affordable monthly cost. The provider’s prices for VPS start at 30 rubles per month, which is comparable in cost to regular web hosting.

Virtual servers, which are dedicated space on a physical server, have become widespread in recent years because they allow you to manage resources more efficiently at a lower cost.

If a physical server is designed to run a specific workload or application with full processing power, then virtual servers can coexist with each other on the same bare metal, each independently using its own operating system and virtualization software. A virtual machine server uses the computer resources of a physical server to create virtual environments. However, it also supports passwords and data security systems.

Compared to physical servers, virtual servers provide faster application and resource provisioning, improved disaster recovery and business continuity, and minimization or elimination of downtime. Working in a virtual environment also improves productivity, agility, efficiency and responsiveness to emerging issues, making it easier to manage your data center. Last but not least, the use of virtual servers can reduce operating costs and capital expenditures.

Servers in the RUVDS data center

For server virtualization, special software is used that allows you to divide one physical dedicated server into several virtual ones. Converting one physical server into several virtual servers makes it possible to use the available power and computing resources more efficiently, while providing the ability to run several operating systems and applications on one physical server.

The use of virtual servers provides a reduction in computing costs (instead of one server – several), and also saves energy and does not require as much space for placing equipment. In addition, independent user environments guarantee complete independence of users from each other; problems with some clients will not affect the work of others.

The most common potential problem when using virtual servers is resource overload. This happens when the virtual servers on the physical server are overflowing, when some virtual machines “pull the blanket over themselves”, excessively using the computing resources of the physical server to the detriment of the rest of the virtual servers, which entails a drop in performance. However, this can be avoided with appropriate work planning.

Data center RUVDS is reliably protected

For the user, there is no difference in the names – virtual private server (VPS) or virtual dedicated server (VDS), since both are actually dedicated virtual servers located on a common physical computer and running their own operating systems.

It should also be noted that VPS compares favorably with virtual hosting, when a certain number of virtual machines are located on a physical server, and clients use shared resources in one virtual space. In turn, the VPS user has access to a completely independent environment, which he provided with sufficient resources to complete his tasks.

International hosting provider RUVDS operates in 11 data centers. Three of them are located in Moscow, one each – St. Petersburg, Kazan, Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, as well as in Zurich, London, Frankfurt and Amsterdam. All RUVDS sites meet the level of reliability not lower than TIER 3, and are also located at key traffic exchange points.

All data centers have at least three redundant communication channels of 10 Gbps and are connected to the largest communication nodes M-9 and M-10 for Russian and LD-8, AMX-IX, DE-CIX for European data centers. The distributed network reduces the risks of customers, since it allows them to rent facilities that are not too far from the office or place of work. And shorter distance means higher data rates with minimal latency.

RUVDS, which is a partner of Huawei, has several advantages. Firstly, more than an affordable monthly cost, the provider’s prices for VPS start at 30 rubles per month, which is comparable in cost to conventional web hosting. Secondly, the high functionality of the service. On the virtual server, you can additionally install DDoS protection against network attacks, antivirus, video card, hosting control panel Plesk, ISPmanager or cPanel to choose from. You can also use a modern Windows Server or Linux operating system, while VPS prices do not depend on the selected OS.

The company offers a flexible billing system. The user can choose his own configuration or stop at a tariff with pre-installed options. The cost of a virtual server with a Linux operating system (Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS to choose from), a dedicated IPv4 address, 10 GB of data storage on fast enterprise-class SSD-disks and with a per-second billing (processor – Intel Xeon with a clock frequency of 2 GHz, 512 MB of operational memory) is 30 rubles / month.
