LED is not a Moscow alias

VPSFaster sells Moscow and St Petersburg as one Russia SKU. We rack them as two pins: MSK-IX vs SPB-IX. Saint Petersburg often wins Nordic paths. Russian law at both facilities.

Saint Petersburg · pair: Moscow.

Same no-KYC rails as Zurich

Token or email, 19 coins, Business $24 annual, no Dubai/Moscow surcharge. Dedicated if you need IPMI. Still not a privacy-haven claim.

Recommended: Business $24 annual in Saint Petersburg

6 vCPU / 16 GB DDR5 / 240 GB NVMe / 5 Gbps. Pay GRAM, XRP or USDT depending on the treasury. Mail (port 25) is in the solution matrix for this city.

Billing periods for an LED deployment

Once you have settled on Saint Petersburg as the location, the billing term is the remaining lever on price. Monthly terms bill at list: Nano $5.49/mo, Starter $8.50/mo with 2 vCPU EPYC 7443P, 4 GB ECC and 60 GB NVMe, Plus $13.50/mo, Business $30/mo, Pro $45/mo and Max $60/mo. A quarterly term takes 10% off, and a yearly term takes 20% off — the same hardware, a lower effective rate.

Nano is a special case: instead of list-minus-discount, it has a flat $36/yr annual price, which works out to $3/mo — useful for a long-lived monitoring or tunnel endpoint that just needs to sit on an LED-routed IP. Every plan carries unmetered 1-10 Gbps, NVMe storage, ECC RAM, 1x IPv4 and a /64 IPv6 subnet, and checkout stays crypto-only and no-KYC: 19 assets including BTC, XMR and USDT on seven networks, run by Harborline Node Ltd. with email optional at signup.

Funding an LED box: coins, top-up bonuses and invoice timing

The checkout is identical at RU-LED and everywhere else: 19 assets — BTC, XMR, ETH, BNB, SOL, LTC, TRX, XRP, DOGE, DASH, ADA, GRAM on TON, and USDT on seven networks including TRC-20 and BEP-20 — with no KYC step before or after. For a Saint Petersburg invoice the practical picks are USDT-TRC-20 for a stable USD quote with low fees, BTC when you are paying a long term from savings, XMR when the payment graph matters. Terms apply uniformly: month at list, quarter −10%, year −20%; Business at $30/mo list runs $324 for a year in list terms, one invoice, one payment event.

The bonus tiers reward prepaying bigger: funding the account with $1,000 adds +10% credit, $2,000 adds +40%. On a $2,000 top-up that is $2,800 of renewals — enough to run Business for well over a year across several servers — and the credit debits automatically at each renewal, so a Russian-routed box can run for a year on payments you made once. Two timing notes for automation-minded buyers: renewals debit the balance silently, so keep enough headroom for the next cycle, and if you pay on-chain instead, send from a wallet you control — the host credits what the chain confirms at the single-use deposit address.

Pick Saint Petersburg when — and skip it when

Pick RU-LED when your audience is the Russian northwest and the Baltics: SPB-IX peering with ~35 ms to Amsterdam puts Northern European users within one-digit-to-low-two-digit RTT of a Russian IP, and the city has its own exchange fabric rather than borrowing Moscow's. It is also the pick when you want the Russian geolocation without the capital's routing density — LED answers as its own city in geo-IP databases, which matters for local-seo tests, regional CDNs and marketplaces that treat MOW and LED as distinct markets. Tier III / 2N with a 40 Gbps uplink is the same class of facility as the network's other metros.

Skip it when latency to Asia or the Americas decides: Almaty (~80 ms to AMS) serves Central Asia better, and US visitors will always be an ocean away from any Russian rack. Skip it too when the legal layer, not the network layer, is your concern — Russian hosting law applies at RU-LED exactly as the honest section of this page describes, and a privacy-first deployment that cannot accept that should pin in Reykjavik or Zurich instead. And if you need mainland-China routing, Shanghai and Hong Kong at ~30 ms spacing from Tokyo are the designed pairs; LED is a European-facing pin, and the invoice is identical either way — location never changes the plan price.

SPB-IX and the ~35 ms European reach of a LED rack

Saint Petersburg is the northern exit of the two Russian sites in the catalog, and the numbers that matter are in data.py: SPB-IX peering, a 40 Gbps uplink, and ~35 ms round trip to Amsterdam - the shortest European RTT of any location on the list. For a workload serving readers in Finland, the Baltics, Sweden or Poland, that beats routing through Moscow's MSK-IX first. The facility profile is Tier III / 2N with dual power feeds in the Saint Petersburg metro colo belt; the street address is not published. Russian law applies at the rack, which is exactly the trade-off to state plainly: you buy latency and a regional IP, not immunity from the jurisdiction the hardware sits in. The billing entity is different on purpose - Harborline Node Ltd., registered in Saint Kitts and Nevis - so the contract and the payment rail live outside the facility country. Crypto-only checkout, 19 assets, no KYC step, email optional: the same rails as Zurich or Reykjavik, on a flag close to Northern Europe.

Terms and totals on a Saint Petersburg invoice

The plan sheet in LED matches every other site, so the discount math decides what you pay. Nano lists at $5.49/mo with a flat $36/yr annual price - $3/mo effective - and fits a lightweight proxy or monitoring agent. Starter at $8.50/mo (2 vCPU, 4 GB ECC, 60 GB NVMe) is the floor for a small site with a database. Business lists at $30/mo; the annual term lands it at $24/mo with 6 vCPU, 16 GB RAM and 240 GB NVMe on a 5 Gbps unmetered port. The term ladder is month at list, quarter at -10%, year at -20%, applied to the USD invoice before conversion. You settle with any of the 19 checkout assets - USDT on seven networks if you want a stable quote, XMR if the payment itself should stay private, BTC if that is what you hold. No card form exists on this product, and email stays optional at signup. Deploy after confirmation takes about 60 seconds.

Saint Petersburg rack facts, October 2026 check

What the Saint Petersburg site actually runs: Tier III / 2N, 40 Gbps uplinks, peering via SPB-IX, ~35 ms to AMS. Legal posture: Russian law / Saint Petersburg. The catalog does not surcharge geography: Nano $5.49 (1 vCPU / 2 GB ECC / 40 GB NVMe; flat $36/yr = $3/mo effective), Starter $8.50 (2 vCPU / 4 GB DDR4 ECC / 60 GB NVMe), Plus $13.50 (4 vCPU / 8 GB DDR4 ECC / 120 GB NVMe), Business $30 (6 vCPU / 16 GB DDR5 ECC / 240 GB NVMe), Pro $45 (8 vCPU / 24 GB DDR5 ECC / 400 GB NVMe), Max $60 (12 vCPU / 32 GB DDR5 ECC / 640 GB NVMe); the same 19 checkout assets — BTC, XMR, ETH, SOL, LTC, TRX, XRP, DOGE, DASH, ADA, GRAM (TON) and USDT on 7 networks settle the invoice, and provisioning is about a minute after payment confirms. Peering and transit map. All twenty-one locations. Honest limit: latency claims are steering numbers, not contracts — run a looking-glass check from your own vantage before committing a trading or bot workload.

Crypto checkout for LED

The LED rack takes the same global invoice as every location — email or token, then one on-chain transfer. Asset choice is the only decision:

Wrong-network sends are not recoverable, so match the asset to the address printed on the invoice. Underpaid? Do not send a second transfer — complete the same invoice or open a ticket with the txid.

SPB-IX routing in practice

Saint Petersburg is a distinct network pin, not a label on the Moscow VLAN. The rack peers at SPB-IX and sits about 35 ms from Amsterdam — the best EU latency of our two Russian locations. Practical consequences:

Russian data law, the honest version

Federal Law 242-FZ requires that personal data of Russian citizens collected online be stored in Russia — it binds operators of services that process such data, which is a question about your application, not about renting a VM. Content obligations (banned-material lists, takedown regime) apply to what you publish from the box. Our own floor does not change by geography: CSAM, phishing and attacks are banned everywhere, and valid Russian legal process would be honoured for an LED rack exactly as local process is honoured at every other location.

If your project processes RU citizens' personal data at scale, you have compliance work regardless of host — measure that before, not after, the deploy.

What to run on an LED box — and what not

• Good fit: RU and CIS audience sites, game servers with RU players, monitoring and alerting pins, trading infrastructure near RU venues, a second DNS/VPN pin for city-level diversity.
• Poor fit: interactive EU/US applications (use Amsterdam or Ashburn), and anything whose content is illegal in Russia — local law reaches the box first, and no host policy shields it.
• Always: the same AUP floor as everywhere — no CSAM, no attacks, no spam. Crypto-only billing, no KYC, same as Zurich.
