bytserv.narod.ru is the site of the Nizhny Novgorod repair workshop "Bytservis" ("Household Service"), hosted on the free hosting service narod.ru and listed in the nn.ru directory under the /rub/ section[1]. The nn.ru directory described the workshop's profile as follows: "repair of computers and components, audio, video, television and household appliances. Sale of used goods"[1]. The site is known from web-archive snapshots taken between 2002 and 2022; as of a check in August 2026 the site at this address was responding[1][2].
What the site offered
The home page was short and remained almost unchanged over two decades: a heading, "Б Ы Т С Е Р В И С" ("BYTSERVIS"), set in letter-spaced type, and a single paragraph describing the services. As the home page stated, the workshop handled "repair of computers and components, various peripherals and monitors" and promised that "we do all this at the highest level of quality, to achieve maximum stability for your PC"[1][2]. The broader list of services — repair of audio, video and television equipment, as well as the sale of used goods — is known from the site's description in the nn.ru directory, not from the text of the home page itself[1]. The HTML document's service metadata lists the name "Stanislav K. Korb" as the author and editor of the file[1]. In the latest surviving snapshot, alongside the unchanged text about services, a line appeared reading "Powered by uCoz" — suggesting that by 2022 the page was being served by the uCoz website-builder engine, even though the address remained the same, on narod.ru[2].
Place in the Nizhny Novgorod internet
bytserv.narod.ru was listed in the Nizhny Novgorod directory nn.ru — the only recorded form of the site's presence in the local internet space documented in this material[1]. No data on visitor traffic from the Counter.nn.ru counter or on votes at the Nizhny Novgorod Internet Day has been recorded for this site in the surviving samples — this indicates only the site's absence from the samples available to us, not a confirmed absence of visitors or votes. For more on the counting methodology, see the Archival study of the Nizhny Novgorod internet from the counter.nn.ru rating and the general article on the Nizhny Novgorod Internet.
Fate of the address
The earliest known snapshot of the home page is dated March 29, 2002, and the latest is dated March 30, 2022, with the page's text remaining practically unchanged over these twenty years[1][2]. No data on the domain being transferred to another address has survived in the material. As of a check in August 2026, the site at this address was responding.
