According to its Facebook page, Russian company Contell was established in 2018. It has a Tier 3 data center in Moscow that uses redundancy features.
Contell’s Russian-language website sells VPS/VDS, dedicated servers, cloud storage solutions, and associated services.
Features and Ease of Use
Contell offers four VPS/VDS plans, 29 dedicated servers, and several cloud storage plans. The company’s VPS/VDS plans provide you with:
- 1 to 8 CPUs
- 2 GB to 32 GB RAM
- 20 GB to 240 GB SSD storage
- 100 Mbps traffic
- DDoS protection
The virtual private servers (VPS) are based on KVM virtualization, and they come with 100% guaranteed resources (with no overselling). The hybrid cloud storage with SSD caching helps to deliver peak performance. You can choose from a wide variety of operating systems — e.g., CentOS, Windows, Debian, Ubuntu, FreeBSD, Gentoo — or upload your own ISO image.
VPS/VDS and dedicated servers allow you to scale your resources easily, and dedicated servers are enabled for remote server management.
Pricing and Support
Contell offers VPS plans that begin at affordable rates and then transition into competitive pricing. Your available payment methods will rely on your status as either an individual or a legal entity. Typically, these methods encompass bank transfers and credit card payments. Payments can be made in Russian rubles, with billing cycles ranging from monthly to annual. Additionally, opting for a commitment longer than a month can lead to discounts of up to 15%.
This vendor’s website alludes to the ability to test your desired server configuration prior to purchase, but I couldn’t find out how long this test period lasts.
You should be able to summon 24/7 technical support by telephone, ticket, email, or live chat. I say “should” because, after registering an account, I submitted a support ticket, and… received no reply. It may be comforting to know that self-support resources include a help section (for logged-in users) and a blog:
