If you need a server with fast disk speed, stable network and full management, an NVMe VPS for 100 rubles is a good start at no extra cost.
100 rubles — is the entry point. This is not a "toy", but a full-fledged virtual machine with:
The main advantage — is the speed of the disk subsystem.
NVMe provides a large increase in IOPS compared to a conventional SSD.
Why is this important?
| Disk type | Average IOPS | Delay | Suitable for |
|---|---|---|---|
| HDD | ~100 | high | archives |
| SATA SSD | 5 000–20 000 | average | regular sites |
| NVMe SSD | 50 000–500 000+ | minimal | databases, 1C, highload |
What does this mean in practice?:
VPS VDS is not a shared hosting service.
You get:
No restrictions on "prohibited Apache modules".
We are not building the platform on a single server, but on a fault-tolerant cluster.
Basically:
SSD NVMe drives
Maximum read/write speed and minimum latency.
100 Mb/s internet connection
Stable channel with no drawdowns.
DDoS protection
Filtering at the network level before an attack hits the server.
Dedicated IP address
IPv4 + free IPv6.
Traffic is not limited
No hidden limits.
Flexible pricing system
You can start with the minimum option and scale up.
Available:
The data centers are located in Europe.
When choosing a location, it is important to consider:
Quick location change
You can deploy the server in another region.
Flexible IP address management
Additional IPv4 on request.
Free IPv6
In each tariff.
Free unlimited traffic
Without charging per gigabyte.
SSH access
Full root access.
Outsourcing
We can take over the administration.
It means:
The platform is built on:
Available:
E-commerce
Online stores, 1C, CRM.
Development and testing
Separate environments under dev/stage.
SaaS, API, and microservices
Docker, Kubernetes.
Highly loaded projects
Optimization for databases.
Games and streaming
Low latency.
Corporate systems
Internal portals and services.
1. High performance
NVMe + KVM.
2. Flexible configuration
CPU, RAM, disk are suitable for the task.
3. Scaling without pain
Added resources — reloaded — continue working.
80% of the problems are not in the server, but in incorrect expectations or configuration. Below are the errors that we see regularly.
Waiting for the capacity of a dedicated server for 100 rubles
Mistake:
They take the minimum tariff and place it:
What you need to understand:
How right:
Ignoring server security settings
A very common situation:
And then — "the server was hacked."
What must be done right away:
Even a cheap VPS server is a full—fledged machine on the Internet. It requires basic protection.
Lack of backups on servers
The most painful mistake.
The client considers:
The server is in the cloud, which means everything is automatically saved.
No. VPS is your area of responsibility.
Yes, there are snapshots and backups, but you need them.:
One random one rm -rf it may cost more than all the tariffs in a few years.
Wrong choice of operating system
They take Windows Server, although Linux is enough.
Or they install CentOS without understanding its support.
Recommendation:
Choosing the wrong OS — means unnecessary resources and complicating administration.
Lack of server monitoring
The client finds out about the problem when the site is already "down".
The minimum that needs to be configured:
Even a simple Telegram bot with notifications already solves half of the problems.
Misunderstanding the difference between VDS VPS and shared hosting
Sometimes clients expect:
But VDS is self—management.
If there is no experience:
Overpayment "for growth"
The opposite error.
Instead of the tariff for 100 rubles, they charge a server 5-10 times more expensive, just in case.
Finally:
The right strategy:
Ignoring the network limitations of the project
Some require:
Lack of application optimization
Even NVMe on the server won't save you if:
It can work stably if the project is configured correctly. But it doesn't make up for the bad architecture.
Unrealistic expectations of DDoS protection
DDoS protection works, but:
Sometimes clients confuse DDoS with protection against SQL injection or brute force - these are two different things.
What we recommend
If you take cheap VPS servers:
The price of a VPS server for 100 rubles — this is not a "stripped down" option. This is a full-fledged virtual machine with the necessary resources for operation.
But its effectiveness depends not only on the infrastructure, but on how you use it.
A VM with dedicated resources.
Technically, there is no difference.
Identically. It's not the name that matters, but the virtualization and infrastructure.
| Parameter | Shared | VPS VDS |
|---|---|---|
| Root access | No | Yes |
| Allocated resources | No | Yes |
| Flexibility | Limited | Full |
| Suitable for highload | No | Yes |
Deployment takes 1-5 minutes.
Focus on:
Depends on:
Yes. Without moving.
Yes.
Yes, ISO downloads are supported.

Developer (Node.js + Docker)
I took VPS VDS for the test circuit and CI. It was important to have clean KVM virtualization and a normal disk. NVMe really gives an increase. Docker containers rise quickly, and builds take place without lags. For that price, it's a great start.
What can I mention:
Early Stage Startup (MVP in 2 weeks)
We needed to launch the MVP literally over the weekend. The budget is minimal. They just took it “to try”, but in the end he closed all the basic tasks. It's more than enough to get started. We didn't expect such performance for such money.
What is important for a startup:
Personal project / Telegram bot
Honestly, I thought that for such a price it would be something very weak. But the bot is working stably, the PostgreSQL database is spinning without problems. For small projects, it is an ideal option so as not to overpay.
In fact, I got:
It's a great option for pet projects and automation.
Small business (website + CRM)
We didn't want to pay several thousand per month for the cloud when the load was minimal. This price fully covers current needs. At the same time, there is a feeling of a full-fledged server, not cheap hosting.
Student Developer
I was looking for a cheap VPS or VDS server for educational projects. For such a price, it's a godsend. You can install Docker, configure Nginx, and test CI/CD. A great learning platform.
It is important for learning:
If needed:
VPS and VDS for 100 rubles is a reasonable start.
The main thing is to choose the right server configuration for the tasks. And the rest is our area of responsibility.
