AdminVPS turns ten this year. The company AdminVPS LLC was registered in 2015, with a general director appointed on May 25, 2015. Registered address: Moscow, Leninskaya Sloboda Street, 19
How the figures changed
The company’s public metrics are convenient to view over time. In November 2021 the AdminVPS card in CNewsMarket recorded more than 8 thousand customers and over 25 thousand hosted sites. The company page now states:
- more than 30 thousand customers
- more than 50 thousand sites
- peak load over 100 thousand requests per second
That is, over four and a half years the customer base grew roughly fourfold. For a segment where most of the market’s growth went to the large clouds, that is a notable result
Geography and infrastructure
The company lists ten host countries: Russia with a site in Moscow, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Finland, the United Kingdom and France. Equipment is placed in Tier III data centers, support works around the clock through a ticket system, and compliance with 152-FZ is claimed
A caveat common to the whole market is worth making here. Ten countries on a list are not always ten own data centers: a significant part of the locations at most providers are rented from local sites. This does not always affect quality, but when choosing it makes sense to clarify where your specific plan physically stands and whose rack it is
Promised availability versus measured
AdminVPS claims an availability level of 99.98 percent under its SLA. The independent catalog hostings.info, which runs its own measurements, shows AdminVPS uptime of 99.86 percent and a ping to Moscow of 2 milliseconds. Its average rating there is 4.8 across 494 reviews
The difference between 99.98 and 99.86 looks cosmetic, but in minutes it is eight and a half minutes of downtime a month versus about an hour. Before drawing a conclusion from this, three things need understanding
First, an SLA is a contractual obligation with caveats, not a measurement. Planned maintenance, the client’s own actions and force majeure are usually not included. Second, a third-party measurement runs from a single point over an unspecified period, and a link failure between the observation point and the site counts as service unavailability. Third, neither replaces your own monitoring: only that shows how long your server was down, not the provider’s average
The practical takeaway is simple. An SLA should be read not in the promo block but in the contract, and there you look not at the percentage but at what exactly the provider undertakes to compensate and in what order
