Moscow · MOW-2 · Butovo

Dedicated in Russia

Single-tenant bare metal from a 4-core Xeon to dual EPYC 9654 with 768 GB of ECC. IPMI, custom ISO boot and LUKS2 at provision, in eight jurisdictions.

Answer

At our MOW-2 · Butovo facility, dedicated servers start at $47.00 per month. Russia sits outside every Western enforcement channel: Council of Europe cooperation ended in 2022, and neither DMCA nor DSA holds force there. No identity is requested, payment settles on-chain, and deployment takes 15 to 90 minutes.

Why Russia

Russia is outside every Western enforcement channel — Council of Europe cooperation ended in 2022 and neither DMCA nor DSA has force there. In exchange, Russian law applies in full, including mandatory SORM interception at the operator level. Choose it only when your threat model is specifically Western.

  • EU and US court orders have no enforcement path; MLAT cooperation suspended since 2022 2022
  • US DMCA and EU DSA carry no legal force in Russian courts 2008
  • Data-localisation duty applies to Russian citizens’ personal data 2015

The trade-off

We publish this one straight because the honest version is the useful version: Russia removes Western legal reach and replaces it with Russian legal reach, including SORM interception obligations at the operator level. It is the right answer for a narrow threat model and the wrong answer for a general one. Assume network-level observation and encrypt accordingly.

§03 FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01 How much is a dedicated in Russia?

Pricing begins at $47.00 per month for the entry configuration and reaches $1,214.00 for the largest one at MOW-2 · Butovo. Every plan includes DDoS scrubbing, a routed IPv6 /64, and full root access.

02 Why choose Russia for this?

Moscow, Russia sits outside Western enforcement: Council of Europe cooperation ended in 2022, and neither DMCA nor DSA applies. In return, Russian law governs fully, including mandatory SORM interception at the operator level. Best for workloads with exclusively Western adversaries, CIS-region latency, or regional mirrors.

03 What is the catch with Russia?

We state this plainly because the honest version is the useful one: Russia replaces Western legal reach with Russian legal reach, including SORM interception obligations at the operator level. It fits a narrow threat model, not a general one. Assume network-level observation and encrypt accordingly.

04 Do you require identity verification in Russia?

No, the token-only model applies across all 16 locations: no name, email, phone, or ID is required, and settlement is crypto-only.
