Web hosting Selectel

Selectel is a Russian company operating since 2008 and specializing in cloud infrastructure services and data center services. Founded by Lev Leviev and Vyacheslav Mirilashvili, Selectel started as a classic data center operator, offering rent of server racks and placement of clients' server equipment. The company's first own data center was the Tsvetochnaya-1 data center in St. Petersburg, initially designed for 230 racks. An anchor client at the start was the social network VKontakte, which gave them a strong foundation for growth and development.

Since its founding, the company has significantly expanded and diversified its services. By 2010 Selectel was already serving more than 500 small and medium-sized businesses, having launched new data centers in Moscow, St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region. Today the company operates a network of six of its own data centers in Moscow, St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region, as well as a partner data center in Novosibirsk. Selectel's server facilities cover an area of approximately 8.8 thousand square meters, with more than 3.5 thousand server racks and a total capacity of over 30 MW.

Selectel is among the leading players in the Russian IaaS (infrastructure as a service) market, ranking third in terms of revenue in this market in recent years. Their customer base includes about 28,000 companies, covering various segments - from individual entrepreneurs and small businesses to large corporations and government organizations.

One of the key activities of Selectel is the development and support of modern cloud technologies and services. Thus, starting from 2009, the company offered the service of renting dedicated servers. The following years saw the launch of a public cloud based on Xen Cloud Platform, cloud storage services and high-performance dedicated servers under the Vscale brand. In 2013, the Technodom platform with affordable dedicated servers was introduced, later renamed Chipcore and included in Selectel's product line.

The company actively implements modern technologies and security standards. For example, Selectel became a partner of Akamai Technologies, integrating CDN to improve the speed and reliability of content delivery. The company is also the first Russian participant in the Intel Cloud Technology program, and since 2015 it has been certified according to the PCI DSS standard, which guarantees a high level of data protection in the field of payment cards.

Selectel also provides virtual private cloud (VPC) services and integrated infrastructure solutions, allowing customers to eliminate capital expenditures on their own IT systems and ensure high scalability and performance of the infrastructure. In addition, the company has a strong corporate culture focused on customer support and innovative product development.

Over more than 15 years of operation, Selectel has built a reputation as a reliable and technologically advanced provider. The company takes full responsibility for service continuity, compliance with data protection legislation and ensuring high security at all levels - from data centers to cloud services. Constant infrastructure expansion, equipment upgrades and implementation of new software solutions allow Selectel to remain one of the leaders in the domestic market of cloud technologies.

Working with Selectel, clients get access to a wide range of IT services, including rent of dedicated servers, VPS, cloud storage, secure communication channels and advanced monitoring tools. The company provides convenient resource management through its own dashboard and maintains 24/7 technical support services. Such comprehensiveness makes Selectel an attractive choice for businesses seeking digital transformation and reliable technology partnerships.
