1Gb.ru

What 1Gb.ru does

1Gb.ru is a privately held Russian web hosting provider founded in 2002 and headquartered on Ryabinovaya Street in Moscow, operating under two legal entities — АО 1Гб.ру (INN 7720589079) for current contracts and ЗАО Ин-Солв (INN 7728255960) for legacy contracts. The company is registered in the Russian hosting provider registry (rkn.gov.ru, p1578) and trades under a registered trademark. Its service portfolio is a layered hosting stack: shared virtual hosting for entry-level websites; VDS/VPS in three variants — VDS HyperVPS (Hyper-V, Windows/Linux), VDS Linux KVM, and a legacy OpenVZ tier; dedicated physical servers with NVME SSD, optional GPU configurations, and a 30 TB/month traffic allowance; and a Digital Data Center ("Цифровой ДЦ") virtual container product for corporate clients with replication and backup. Supporting modules include domain registration across .RU/.SU/.РФ and international TLDs, SSL certificates, CDN, free DDoS protection, cloud storage (S3 Skylable, SeaFile, NFS/SFTP/SMB), email hosting with SPF/DKIM/DMARC, 1C-Битрикс licensing, managed administration, and a Parallels WPB site builder. The proprietary 1Gb Panel control panel is offered free to customers and the company maintains its own 1Gb Wiki knowledge base as a content/SEO asset.

Underlying technology spans multi-platform hosting infrastructure supporting Windows (IIS/.NET) and Linux (Apache/PHP/Python/Ruby/Node.js) environments with virtualization technologies including Hyper-V, KVM, and OpenVZ, plus MySQL/PostgreSQL/MS-SQL database support and a hosting management API. Data center presence is in Moscow and Frankfurt. The company's go-to-market is predominantly self-serve/PLG: online registration, automated service activation, and free 10-day trials for most services, supplemented by an inside-sales support function (24/7 via email, website chat, Telegram) and a partner/reseller portal at partner.1gb.ru. Mobile access is provided via an Android/iOS/desktop app and a Telegram support bot. All pricing is denominated in rubles and the addressable market is primarily Russia, with Frankfurt providing a limited European footprint.

The business model is entirely subscription-based recurring revenue across hosting tiers, with minor professional-services revenue from managed administration and paid support plans. Customer segmentation is horizontal and diversified: individual/SMB website owners, Russian legal entities (ООО, АО), web studios/agencies hosting client sites, and IT professionals and developers requiring root access, custom OS installs, and GPU resources. No named enterprise customers, revenue figures, headcount, or external funding are disclosed in the available source data, and the company is independently owned without a parent or known VC/PE backing.

Broad incumbents

• Yandex Cloud: Yandex's enterprise cloud platform offering IaaS, PaaS, and managed services in Russia. While focused on enterprise/developer workloads rather than SMB shared hosting, it competes with 1Gb.ru's VDS and dedicated server offerings for technical customers.
• Selectel: One of Russia's largest independent cloud and data center providers offering shared hosting, VDS, dedicated servers, and managed cloud services. Broader portfolio and scale make Selectel a larger incumbent competing for the same Russian SMB and enterprise segments as 1Gb.ru.
• OVHcloud: Large European cloud provider offering shared hosting, VDS, dedicated servers, and cloud storage with global data center footprint. Comparable in product mix to 1Gb.ru but at significantly larger scale and broader geographic reach.
• VK Cloud (Mail.ru Cloud): Major Russian cloud platform offering IaaS, PaaS, and managed services. Competes with 1Gb.ru for Russian SMB and enterprise cloud infrastructure customers, particularly in VDS, dedicated, and storage services.

Direct peers

• Ru-Center (NIC.RU): One of Russia's oldest domain registrars and hosting providers, offering shared hosting, VDS, dedicated servers, and email services. Operates in the same Russian hosting market with a comparable SMB/individual focus as 1Gb.ru.
• Beget: Russian hosting provider focused on shared hosting and VDS/VPS for SMBs and developers, with strong self-serve onboarding and competitive pricing. Closely matches 1Gb.ru's value proposition of affordable, easy-to-use hosting for the Russian market.
• REG.RU: Leading Russian domain registrar and hosting provider offering shared hosting, VDS, dedicated servers, and SSL certificates. Directly comparable to 1Gb.ru's domain + hosting bundle and serves the same individual/SMB Russian customer base.
• Hetzner: German hosting and dedicated server provider with comparable product mix (shared hosting, VDS, dedicated servers, cloud storage) and European data center footprint. Directly comparable as a European SMB hosting provider, particularly relevant given 1Gb.ru's Frankfurt data center.
• Timeweb: Major Russian hosting and cloud provider offering shared hosting, VDS/VPS, dedicated servers, and domain registration. Directly comparable to 1Gb.ru in product mix, target market (SMBs and individuals in Russia/CIS), and self-serve/PLG model.

Others

• ISPsystem: Russian developer of hosting automation and control panel software (ISPmanager, BILLmanager). Previously a partner of 1Gb.ru for server management panels; now operates as an ecosystem enabler rather than direct competitor in the Russian hosting market.
