💰 Price & Cost

The company provides fair and reasonable prices for their plans. The term of the contract depends on the customer’s needs. Thus, they can choose contracts available for 1, 3, 6, 12, 24 or 36 months.
The company offers various promotions and discounts for their services so you can get web hosting solutions for lower prices and they accept multiple payment methods.

The bad news is that they do not provide a money-back guarantee so this aspect might make customers slightly insecure in purchasing plans from them.

There is no mention of an uptime guarantee.

✍️ Customer Support

Tech support can be contacted via phone, e-mail, live chat or social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter). There are no knowledgebase or FAQ sections available on their page so the only option is to get in contact with technical assistance.

🎯 Conclusion

One of the leading hosting providers and domain registrars in Russia, RU-CENTER offers a large variety of plans with rich resources. However, customers cannot find dedicated servers available on their page.

Other disadvantages are the lack of any uptime or money-back guarantees which could lower their number of customers. The good news is that customers get a free shared hosting plan available for 30 days to get the hosting experience at RU-CENTER.
Tech support is good but the fact that there is no knowledgebase or FAQ can be a little disappointing as well.
Nevertheless, RU-CENTER does offer a wide variety of feature-packed plans for cheap prices.
