Will there be a normal hosting in Russia?

    Vedomosti published an article with communications by telecommunications companies about plans to build several large data centers at once. I quote the

    article here almost completely:
    "
    Last week, the telecommunication company Caravan announced its intention to build a data center with an area of ​​1000 square meters in Moscow. Its marketing director Andrei Tsumanov suggests that this center will become one of the largest in the capital." Caravan "is going to spend on this project most of the investments planned for next year - $ 6 million
    ...
    In September, Synterra Holding announced plans to build a network of 40 data centers in Russia (data centers, or data centers). His project is called "40 × 40": data centers will be located on 40 sites, and the throughput of communication channels will be 40 Gb / s.
    ...

On one of the sites in Dubna, five buildings with a total area of ​​20,000 square meters will be located. m - this project claims to be the largest in Europe. Investments in it will amount to 1 billion rubles.
    ...
    Yandex in September has already built its fourth own data center, it occupies 2000 square meters. m.
    "

    And now from myself.
    Problems with the hosting provider got already nowhere higher. Over the current year, he replaced three: masterhost, spaceweb, ru-center, all of them from the top ten.
    I didn’t find the famous May blackout at the master host - I moved out earlier, after 3 failures in 4 months on my server.
    Spaceweb seems to have stopped catching mice altogether. Earlier a year ago, it was possible to contact technical support, they helped, now after half a day the answer is “sorted out” then silence and that’s it. Here it is customary to roll barrels on RBC, ready to throw your stone. I can be mistaken, but it seems that the team on their swine spat on the work after buying this hosting. When I had a purchase, I don’t know, but I registered a change in the mood of tech support, I don’t seem to want to work anymore. At the same time, despite the fact that I'm sitting on a VIP tariff, sometimes the brakes are terrible, although at times everything flies. Weekly fever with mail: the spam filter was set up without warning - a fair amount of messages simply disappeared.
    Now he has moved mail and part of the servers to the ru-center, for two whole weeks he could not get enough of it. Then a major hardware failure, two days almost without mail. As luck would have it, these two days were “hot” and the company suffered significant losses from mail outages, not to mention reputation ones. Calling partners from Canada to Irkutsk in the middle of the night and asking them to repeat the urgent mail for a free service - this will not be forgotten by my colleagues for a long time.

    Everyone crashes, and sometimes a particular person has bad luck with something, but something tells me that with the hosting level between the "home page" and VPS in Russia, everything is not all right.

    For hosting with guaranteed resources and RELIABLE is ready to pay 3000-4000 rubles. VPS, when you start to consider administration costs, it comes out much more expensive, and it is not needed. Foreign hosting also has its drawbacks. It remains to wait and hope that someone will guess to raise money where they do not just lie, but cry out for a quality service.

    I apologize for the emotionality, all successful hosting :)
