Hosting and certificate charges

The homepage and service pages list these prices and bundle conditions, checked on 2026-10-31.

• Hosting: from 144 rubles per month, according to the homepage.
• Hosting bundle: a free.RU,.PF, or.RUS domain is included when hosting is purchased for a year, the homepage says.
• Alpha SSL from GlobalSign: 3,190 rubles per year for one domain plus its www subdomain, according to the SSL page.
• Alpha Wildcard from GlobalSign: 6,990 rubles per year for one domain and all subdomains, according to the SSL page.
• Domain web redirection: 300 ₽ per year, according to the services page.

These are distinct offers: the free certificate listing is not the same product as either paid GlobalSign certificate. The listed domain bundle applies to the stated annual hosting purchase, rather than describing general domain pricing.

Registration, WHOIS, and hosting scope

Webnames.ru describes domain registration and management alongside hosting, server rental, email, and website construction. The catalog also includes a website builder and domain parking; the builder has more than 200 templates, according to the services page. The service page lists domain parking for 300 ₽ per year and says customers can host their own HTML page.

For hosting, the FAQ describes control-panel tools for files, databases, FTP users, DNS, SSL certificates, and backups. The services page names ISPmanager, DDoS protection, free SSL, domain email, CloudFlare, antivirus, and Cron-manager among hosting features.

Hosting control-panel tools, according to the FAQ:

Hosting control panels include tools for files, databases, FTP users, DNS, SSL certificates, and backups.

Renewal and certificate reissuance

A yearly SSL purchase involves successive certificates rather than one certificate covering the entire stated purchase period, according to Webnames. Each certificate is valid for 199 days, the SSL page states.

After 199 days, the page says the certificate is renewed for another 199 days at no additional charge, subject to email confirmation of domain control. The replacement certificate must then be installed on the web server, according to the same page. For paid certificate orders, the provider requires a functioning email address based on the domain and using one of five listed administrator-style names.

The provider says domain verification may take from one day to more than one week. For hosting customers, its FAQ describes connecting a free Let’s Encrypt certificate, while its SSL page says free SSL can be connected for each domain through the hosting control panel.

Questions for support before registering

Ask support to state the registration and renewal charges for the specific domain zone, including how renewal reminders work. Request the transfer procedure, likely timing, and any fees before moving an existing domain.

Clarify whether WHOIS privacy is offered and what eligibility or charges apply. Ask what DNS controls are available and whether API documentation covers the actions your workflow needs.

Confirm which payment methods are accepted and where account restrictions, abuse complaints, and enforcement rules are documented. For hosting, ask what plan terms and detailed scope apply; the account contact email receives access details after activation, according to the FAQ.

The homepage lists email and telephone as support channels. Ask which team handles domain, hosting, and certificate issues, and what response process applies to each.

Renewal and certificate conditions

• The provider’s page says.RU domain owners have one month after registration expires to renew before deletion.
• The provider’s page says installing the replacement certificate on the web server is required after reissuance.
• The provider’s page says ordering a paid certificate requires a functioning domain-based email address using one of five listed administrator-style names.
• The registrar says it does not check domain registrations for possible third-party rights violations.
• The registrar says it cannot restrict access to individual website pages and can only annul a domain record.
• Phone support temporarily operates from 8:00 to 13:00 Moscow time, according to the FAQ. Several details are missing; they are listed under What we could not confirm.

WHOIS and hosting controls

• WHOIS: the provider says its service can display a domain’s registration date and owner.
• Hosting controls: Webnames describes tools for files, databases, FTP users, DNS, SSL certificates, and backups.
• Hosting panel: the FAQ lists Cloudflare as an included control-panel integration.
• Email setup: the FAQ describes configuration guidance for Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, and The Bat!.
• External hosting: Webnames says it offers free help configuring a domain certificate when a customer’s site is hosted elsewhere.

These provider-described controls matter most to buyers who want domain administration and adjacent hosting tasks handled through related services. Confirm which listed features apply to the specific product and account before purchase.

Domain buyers needing adjacent services

The catalog may suit buyers seeking domain registration alongside hosting, domain email, certificates, or server rental. Webnames describes those services in its FAQ and company information.

That breadth does not establish that every service is bundled or managed under the same terms. Buyers comparing a registrar with a separate hosting provider should check which products they need and obtain the applicable conditions for each.

Registrar comparison criteria

Compare registrars by the domain zones they support, registration and renewal structure, WHOIS privacy, DNS controls, API access, transfer procedures, payment methods, support scope, and account or abuse policies. In general, the useful comparison is the one that matches your domain portfolio and operating requirements, with costs and responsibilities stated clearly.

Questions about Webnames.ru terms

How long is a.RU registration?

The homepage says a.RU domain can be registered for one year. That is the registration term stated for.RU domains. The homepage also says owners have one month after registration expires to renew before deletion. Check the applicable renewal terms before registering.

What happens after a.RU domain expires?

The homepage says owners have one month after expiry to renew before deletion.

Is a domain included with annual hosting?

The homepage says a free.RU,.PF, or.RUS domain is included when hosting is purchased for a year. The offer is tied to that stated hosting purchase, rather than general domain registration. Ask which hosting product qualifies and what charges apply to later renewal.

What does the free SSL listing cover?

The SSL page lists a free Let’s Encrypt certificate for one domain with domain validation. That description identifies the certificate type and validation scope. Confirm whether the intended domain and hosting arrangement meet the provider’s conditions before selecting the certificate.

What is involved in SSL renewal and installation?

Webnames says a yearly SSL purchase involves two successive certificates, each valid for 199 days. After 199 days, it says the certificate is renewed for another 199 days without additional charge, with domain control reconfirmed by email; the replacement must be installed on the web server.

When is telephone support available?

The FAQ says telephone support temporarily operates from 8:00 to 13:00 Moscow time. The homepage gives the same temporary hours. Ask which support channel handles the issue if it falls outside that stated telephone window.

Proceed after written terms are clear

Fits if… the buyer wants domain registration with adjacent hosting or certificate services, and obtains clear terms for the specific products. Webnames describes that service mix, while its homepage states a one-year.RU registration period.

Probably not if… the buyer needs renewal charges, transfer procedures, or certificate responsibilities settled without first asking support.

Main risk… relying on the stated.RU renewal window without knowing the applicable renewal price, or overlooking the certificate reissuance and installation steps.
