REG.RU review

First impression

REG.RU, one of the largest (if not the largest) hosting companies in Russia, has over 1.9 million customers worldwide. They founded the company back in 2006, and they specialize in shared hosting, VPS hosting, dedicated servers, cloud hosting, and domain registration.

In addition to domain name registration, they also offer web hosting, website building help, and other web related services, which makes them an easy company to work with because they keep everything you need for running your website in one place.

Trial period

It's common for hosting providers like REG.RU to offer a money-back guarantee instead of a free trial for their hosting services. This approach allows customers to sign up for a hosting plan, use the service for a certain period, and if they're not satisfied, they can request a refund within the specified timeframe.

Billing cycle

The prices with this company are all listed in Russian currency, so unless you are familiar with that, you’ll need to translate it into the currency of your choice. All the price points are right in line with what you would expect to see for the types of services they are providing. Most people will like that they have lots of options for adding additional features, for a price. This helps you to control the total price you’re paying, without sacrificing on the quality of the hosting you are provided.

Their hosting plans and billing cycle options are great, you can choose to pay Monthly, 6 Months, 12 Months, and 36 Months. You'll get a bigger discount when you choose to pay more in advance.

Control panel

All hosting plans come with the cPanel control panel that provides effortless control over all aspects of your website, including additional domain registration, database management, and statistics. The integrated Softaculous installer helps you install all the essential apps such as WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal with one click.

Hosting with ispmanager is an ideal choice for those who do not have much experience in Linux administration and who want to quickly get a convenient environment for working with a website. In Reg.ru you can connect the ispmanager 6 control panel for free on all shared hosting plans.

Limits

Linux hosting is available on Budget, Speed, and +Power plans, whereas Windows hosting offers a choice between Budget and Speed. The plans differ mainly in terms of their storage space.

Considering the size of the company, and the features it offers, REG.RU’s prices are pretty low compared with its competitors. Limits depends on which hosting plan you choose from.

Basic plan can host up to 7 websites, unlimited databases, up to 13GB SSD Storage.

Higher plan can host up to 30 websites, unlimited databases, 40GB SSD Storage.

Website Builder

Reg.ru offers a website builder tool called "SiteBuilder." This tool is designed to help users create websites easily without requiring extensive technical knowledge or coding skills.

REG.RU's SiteBuilder typically includes features such as:

Drag-and-drop interface: Users can easily add and arrange elements on their website by dragging and dropping them into place.

Templates: SiteBuilder often provides a variety of pre-designed templates to choose from, allowing users to customize the look and feel of their website.

Responsive design: Websites created with SiteBuilder are usually optimized to be responsive, meaning they adjust and look good on various devices such as desktops, tablets, and smartphones.

Integration: SiteBuilder may offer integration with other tools and services, such as e-commerce platforms, social media, and analytics.

Security

Equally important is the fact that they provide automatic protection against things like DDoS attacks, which are becoming quite common today. To further keep your data safe and stable, they scan all websites for viruses and other potential issues.

An SSL certificate is a digital document that allows a website to operate over a secure connection. This means that all data that users leave on the site (full name, password and login, details, card number and other confidential information) will be safe. The certificate confirms the authenticity of the resource and its reliability, so sites with SSL are more trusted by users.

OS

REG.RU hosting offers both Linux and Windows operating systems for their hosting services, providing flexibility for customers with different preferences and requirements.

REG.RU provides a wide range of shared hosting price plans for both Windows and Linux. The packages differ in a few respects (depending on your requirements).

Support

Looking through the different support options, it is clear that they are there to help you when you need them. They break things up based on the type of service you are using, which will help to ensure you are getting help from someone who knows exactly what you are doing. They are responsive to requests for help, and can solve just about any issues very quickly.

Alternatively, you can summon one-to-one support via telephone, ticket, or live chat. Although the support ticket system isn’t as responsive as I would like, I have no complaints at all about the live chat channel via which I received an instant, informative, professional response:

Conclusion

If you are looking for hosting in Russia, this provider should certainly be on your short list. They have a lot to offer in terms of the types of hosting you can choose from, and all of it is of the highest quality. As the country’s leading domain name registration provider, they are clearly here for the long haul and will be able to provide good hosting for years to come.
