Our verdict on FirstVDS
FirstVDS provides KVM-based VPS and VDS hosting for websites, portals, online services, development, and testing. Configurable CPU, RAM, and disk resources suit users who want to choose server capacity and an operating system rather than take a fixed application hosting setup. Linux, FreeBSD, and Windows Server are supported, and SSH access is included. It is relevant to solo users through enterprise teams, but the right fit depends on whether the published resource tiers and optional services match the workload.
The listed SSD plans range from VDS-KVM-SSD-Прогрев-10.0, with 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, and 15 GB SSD, to VDS-KVM-SSD-Улёт-10.0, with 8 vCPU, 12 GB RAM, and 120 GB SSD. NVMe options are also available, including tiers with 1 vCPU and 1 GB RAM through 2 vCPU and 4 GB RAM among the listed plans. The pricing document says the entry SSD plan costs 299 RUB per month. All plan highlights specify one IPv4 address and unlimited traffic at 100 Mbps. This gives buyers a concrete starting configuration, while workloads needing more resources should compare the higher tiers and storage options.
The offer extends beyond virtual machines through optional control panels including ispmanager, automated backups, DDoS protection, and paid server administration. Self-service management is paired with 24/7 technical support; listed support channels include phone, chat, tickets, and documentation. Servers are available in data centers in Russia, the Netherlands, and Kazakhstan. FirstVDS is a reasonable match for buyers who value KVM configuration and OS choice, and who are willing to select any needed add-ons. Those seeking a free plan or a server tier whose stated traffic capacity exceeds 100 Mbps should look elsewhere or compare alternatives carefully.
