Why Moscow
Why host a VPS in Moscow?
Moscow is Russia's largest city and its main network hub. A local server gives users in Russia a short route and keeps traffic inside the country, which matters for sites aimed at Russian-speaking audiences.
Russia's data rules also push projects toward local hosting. Russian law asks that personal data of Russian citizens be stored on servers inside the country, which makes a Moscow VPS the practical choice for those workloads.
See how this fits with the rest of our VPS hosting, and compare the other locations we run.
Who it reaches
From Moscow you serve Russia and nearby CIS countries, including Belarus and Kazakhstan, with low latency for Russian-speaking users. Western Europe is reachable, but a European location is closer for audiences there.
Data and privacy
Federal Law No. 152-FZ. Russia's Federal Law No. 152-FZ requires that personal data of Russian citizens be recorded and stored on servers located in Russia. Take advice on how it applies to your project.

It serves Russian-speaking users in Belarus, Kazakhstan and nearby countries well. Test latency from your largest audience before you commit.
