XOstas

XOstas is a term that can refer to several distinct entities, most notably a former Russian internet service provider and a contemporary social media platform.

The original O.X.O. (which was often colloquially referred to as O.X.O. "Ostas") was a prominent Russian internet service provider and internet café chain that operated in the late 1990s and early 2000s. It played a significant role in the early adoption of the internet in Russia, offering dial-up and later broadband access to individuals and businesses. The company was known for its widespread network of internet cafes, which provided public access to the internet during a time when home internet penetration was still low.

More recently, "XOstas" has emerged as the name of a social media application. This platform is designed for users to share content and connect with others. Information regarding its specific features, user base, and geographical focus is still developing. It is important to distinguish this modern social media application from the historical internet provider, as they represent different technological eras and purposes.
