Hosting Provider datacheap
Russia
1 review
From its first months, Datacheap positioned itself as a provider with comfortable prices and transparent terms. Its legal center is located in Moscow, with autonomous divisions operating in Kazan and Novosibirsk; all equipment is placed exclusively on Russian sites. Over eight years, the platform has grown to five active data centers, collectively serving approximately 35,000 active projects.
According to its own statistics, the average monthly uptime for 2023 was 99.92%, which correlates with independent monitoring services publishing values of 99.85–99.90%.
Security
The infrastructure is built on an N+1 scheme for all critical nodes: power supply, cooling, and network gateways. Disk arrays operate in RAID10, reducing the risk of data loss in the event of two drives failing simultaneously.
Backups are performed daily at 03:00 Moscow time; a full backup is stored for 7 days on an external medium, incremental copies — for 3 days.
For DDoS protection, a combined scheme is used: traffic filtering on the Tier-1 operator side (Qrator) + local iptables rules on hypervisors. The activation threshold is 3 Gb/s of incoming anomalous traffic, with a stated response time of up to 5 minutes.
Staff access to equipment is organized via a two-factor scheme (SLA card + biometrics), video surveillance operates 24/7, and the archive is stored for 30 days.
Pricing Policy
The provider positions itself in the budget-to-mid-range segment. Entry-level shared hosting starts at 69 ₽/month with an annual prepayment, VPS — 149 ₽/month for
virtual server with 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, and 10 GB NVMe.
The tariffs contain no hidden fees: traffic is unlimited, IPv4 is provided free of charge, and the ISPmanager Lite panel is included. The only limitation is the output channel of 100 Mbps on shared tariffs and 200 Mbps on basic VPS.
If necessary, the client can upgrade to more expensive tariffs without rebooting the virtual machine; changes are applied "hot" without changing the IP address.
Infrastructure
Datacheap's hardware base consists of Supermicro servers with Intel Xeon Gold 62xx and AMD EPYC 73xx processors. The disk subsystem is built from enterprise-grade Samsung PM9A3 NVMe drives with a rewrite endurance of 1 DWPD.
KVM with a host system kernel of 5.15 LTS is used for virtualization, and block device caching via virtio-scsi is also implemented.
The network stack consists of their own AS with BGP support, with a total uplink of 2×40 Gb/s per location. For clients with high latency requirements, a dedicated 10 Gb/s channel without port filtering is available.
Data Centers
The geography covers three cities: Moscow, Kazan, Novosibirsk. All locations are certified to Tier III level (simultaneous maintenance without stopping IT load) and have two independent power entry points.
The average placement density is 8 kW per rack, with a temperature in the cold aisle of 22 ± 2 °C. The fire suppression system is gas-based (argon), and the alarm transmits data to the Ministry of Emergency Situations within 30 seconds.
Two centers (Moscow and Kazan) are connected to the Moscow backbone node MSK-IX, which reduces ping to major Russian operators to 5–15 ms.
