Hosting provider YaColo·NET has decided that renting a game server alone is apparently too boring in 2026. The company announced a new promotion: customers ordering dedicated or virtual servers for gaming projects can receive a free domain in the .RU zone. In the hosting industry, this is roughly the equivalent of finding bonus loot in a crate you already paid for.
The offer applies to servers based on infrastructure from OVH, Selectel, and YaColo·NET’s own platforms. According to the provider, customers only need to specify in a support ticket that the domain will be used for gaming purposes. For non-residents, the company also offers optional domain verification assistance — because paperwork remains the final boss of international hosting.
Moscow Configurations Aim at Heavy Multiplayer Loads
The provider recommends several configurations for game hosting in Moscow, ranging from modest setups for small communities to Ryzen-based monsters clearly designed for people who believe every Minecraft server deserves enterprise-grade hardware.
| Plan | CPU | RAM | NVMe | Monthly Price |

| AZ-1 | Xeon Gold 6240R 8 vCore | 16 GB DDR4 | 160 GB | 4,000 ₽ (~$44) |
| AZ-1 | Xeon Gold 6240R 4 vCore | 8 GB DDR4 | 80 GB | 1,500 ₽ (~$16.5) |
| AZ-1 | Xeon Gold 6240R 2 vCore | 4 GB DDR4 | 50 GB | 1,000 ₽ (~$11) |
| AZ-3 / AZ-1 | Ryzen 9 9950X 4 vCore | 4 GB DDR5 | 50 GB | 1,500 ₽ (~$16.5) |
| AZ-3 / AZ-1 | Ryzen 9 9950X 32 vCore | 8 GB DDR5 | 100 GB | 2,000 ₽ (~$22) |
| AZ-3 / AZ-1 | Ryzen 9 9950X 32 vCore | 16 GB DDR5 | 200 GB | 4,000 ₽ (~$44) |
| AZ-3 / AZ-1 | Ryzen 9 9950X 32 vCore | 24 GB DDR5 | 300 GB | 6,000 ₽ (~$66) |
| AZ-3 / AZ-1 | Ryzen 9 9950X 32 vCore | 32 GB DDR5 | 400 GB | 8,000 ₽ (~$88) |
| RU-Moscow-AZ-1 | Ryzen 9 7950X 8 vCore | 8 GB DDR5 | 200 GB | 1,400 ₽ (~$15.5) |
The newer Ryzen-based nodes are positioned for projects where latency matters as much as the players’ ability to blame “server lag” after every defeat. The higher-frequency CPUs should fit multiplayer shooters, sandbox projects, and heavily modded game servers that usually treat hardware resources like an all-you-can-eat buffet.
St. Petersburg Receives Matching Hardware Arsenal
A similar lineup is available in St. Petersburg, including both Xeon Gold and Ryzen 9 configurations. The company appears determined to ensure that game administrators can choose between “stable classic” and “why does this VPS have so many cores?” depending on budget and ambition.

Alongside the hosting offer, YaColo·NET also published deployment instructions for the OVH Game Panel on Linux servers. Apparently, manually configuring every gaming service by hand is now considered an optional hobby rather than a mandatory ritual.
