I pay $10/year for my VPS and host a WordPress Woocommerce store on it... It doesn't get much traffic, but it didn't take long to pay for itself either

have a look here: https://lowendstock.com/ ... mine is hosted in Russia... but I don't believe all Russians are bad because of a war.

I have had good luck so far on this site for my last 3 VPS', but check the ratings, I guess.

I explicitly block everything in Russia (and China and Hong Kong) from accessing my servers, because otherwise the rate of SSH attacks is so high it actually prevents SSH from working reliably -- the connection pool fills up.

Just an FYI; I don't think it's that unusual. Blocking those geoips dramatically reduced my logging volume.

I doubt that clients block outgoing connections to Russian IPs though... so that shouldn't affect me too much.
