Question for Russian Webmasters
 

I was wondering........those of you living in russia, how reliable is web hosting over there? Are there any real good web hosts possibly in the yakaterinburg area or st petersburg? I used to live there when I was young am thinking of going back for a bit...I hear americans get stabbed a lot if you don't dress like a true russian, is that true too? :winkwink:

get stabbed?????????? As in impaled on a dagger or sword? :(

lol , how to "true russians" dress?

I don't know but I heard some stories from russian people who live in america visiting moscow or some shit and getting stabbed for like couple of US dollars, from what i heard last 1 of the guys who is now back in america after that trip is a retard literally

Never been to Russia but sad to say, Americans stick out like sore thumbs in almost any country we visit.

yup, i look like a Gringo everywhere i go

I hared the same from lots of Russians who were in the USA. They say they never see such a shitload of crime like in LA or NY. Crack, murders, hold-ups and other violence everywhere? Various ethic gangs (black, Latin, Asian etc) make a real war on the US streets and no one can feel safe there. Fuck I'll never go to the states!

Agree. Actually the average US citizen is dressed very cheap and simple (sometimes even tastelessly). On other hand, the average Russian citizen from a big city (Moscow, St. Peterberg etc) usually dressed much better. There actually 2 countries in the world where ppl give dressed well. They are Italy and Russia. However villagers in Russia don't pay any attention to their clothings (they dress like Americans). So I don't think some one will think you are American if you will be dressed bad. They just will think you are a villager.

As i know adult webhosting is forbidden in Russia. Making adult content or host is criminal.

Dont look like Snoop Doggy Dog or smth , and you'll be ok :)

Dont you guys know anything? This is what everybody in Russia wears.

So how do Russians dress differently from Americans that make their wardrobe so classy and tasteful??

Adult webmastering is not forbidden in Russia (there is no appropriate rule in Russian law). On the other hand, adult hosting and adult hardcore content producing is really considered as a crime.

the answer is in your question phogirl69

not that canadians dress any better mind you...

except on robson street that is!

They just prefer to buy very expensive clothes mainly from Italy. This is not a joke but some kind of peculiarity. I'll try to explain. During the Soviet period (within about 70 years) Russian people were dressed like beggars, because there were no good-looking and quality wear in USSR, and the same problem with the import clothes. So now they are unconsciously trying to compensate their poverty for all those 70 years. I'm not joking man.

However this related to ppl in big cities only. Village people are still prefer to buy low-quality Turkish and Chinese clothes. Most of them still are not able to buy a good-looking suit from Versache...

Oh ok.. You are right though, lots of Americans do dress cheap...
I'm not one of them though :1orglaugh (or so I'd like to think)

I just thought it was hilarious envisioning an American tourist visiting Russia and getting mistaken as a "poor" and tasteless villager... :1orglaugh

This depends on what exactly city in Russia you are going to visit. For instance, Moscow is included in top 3 most expensive cities in the world (fyi: NY is not included even in top 10). Everything in Moscow is extremely expensive (taxi, hotels, restaurant and even hookers ;)) Sometimes 2-3 times more expensive than in NY. Say you'll pay $60-$80 for a taxi if you want to be delivered for an airport to some hotel in center of Moscow. That is a day-time price. The night-time price will be at least 2 times higher. Or another example. Two months ago I had a business lunch in one of Moscow Sushi bars (not cheapest but also not the most expensive one) with some German content provider who was living in NY for a long time. So he said me that in NY one can eat 3 times more Sushi for a same price. I don't know a price in Sushi bars of NY, but we spent about $100 for our 3-person lunch. Also do won't find any hotel in Moscow lover than $60-$70 per day for an extremely shitty one-room apartment. Normal apartments will cost for a few hundreds and up to few thousands of $ per day.

P.S. Russia has changed alot during last 10 years.
