Grants and bonuses
Starting credits: Cloud.ru advertises 4,000 bonus rubles for individuals and 20,000 bonus rubles for companies and sole proprietors. The current offer and registration terms are available on the Cloud.ru home page.
A separate migration program is available to companies and sole proprietors: the provider offers a grant of up to 1 million ₽ and free resources during migration. The promotion page gives an end date of December 31, 2026, although enrollment may close sooner, so applicants should verify the terms before applying.
An Evolution Free Tier is also available for selected services, including Object Storage, Container Apps, DNS and Managed BI.
Pricing policy
Cloud.ru bills resources by the minute or hour, with total costs estimated through a calculator. As of July 23, 2026, the public calculator shows an entry-level Evolution Compute example at approximately 412.85 ₽ per month including VAT. The VPS/VDS page explicitly states that the calculation is indicative and does not constitute an offer.
- Managed PostgreSQL: in the current rate table, one Business-class vCPU costs 1.49145 ₽ per hour including VAT, 1 GB RAM costs 0.4026 ₽ per hour, and SSD storage costs 0.016836 ₽ per GB per hour. The complete table is available in the official rates.
- Object Storage: single-zone S3 storage is listed at 1.1346 ₽ per GB per month including VAT, while cold storage is 0.489525 ₽ per GB per month. Operations and outbound traffic are billed separately under the official rate document.
- Compute: public IP addresses, CPU, RAM, disks, backups and images are calculated as separate line items; current rates are available in the Evolution Compute pricing.
Cloud.ru pricing contains many interdependent line items. A fair comparison should include not only CPU and RAM, but also disks, public IP addresses, storage operations, backups and outbound traffic.
Reviews and operational profile
Cloud.ru advertises nine Tier III data centers and 24/7 support. For the standard support plan, it targets an email response within 15 minutes, resolution of routine issues within 12 hours and critical issues within four hours. These are the provider's own targets from its support page.
Cloud.ru's primary network is associated with AS208677. A snapshot from bgp.tools shows 261 equivalent /24 blocks, or 66,816 IPv4 addresses, and several independent upstream providers. BGP data changes over time, may not cover every network in the group and does not measure the speed of a particular virtual machine.
Positive signal. Ninety-one people have participated in Hosting101 surveys about Cloud.ru; frequently cited positives include flexible configurations, responsiveness to tickets, a Russian-language interface and support.
Points to consider. The same aggregator contains complaints about final costs, bonus terms, charges for public access, and isolated reports of outages or an awkward console. These are user signals, not representative availability statistics.
Practical validation. For a production workload, run a proof of concept in the required zone, benchmark CPU, disk and network performance, and verify restoration, API limits and the final bill including traffic and additional services.
Strengths and conclusion
Bottom line: Cloud.ru is a strong candidate for mid-sized and large organizations that need a large-scale Russian platform with virtual machines, Kubernetes, managed databases, analytics, AI and enterprise security tooling.
Its main advantages are the broad catalog, multiple cloud models, Russian data centers and mature support. The key caveat is that costs are assembled from many components, so prospective customers should create a complete estimate in the calculator and pilot the platform with a real workload before migrating.
