📄 Editorial Review

NIC.ru / RU-CENTER is the public face of JSC "Regional Network Information Center", one of the oldest and best-known domain registrars and hosting providers in Russia. The company has been operating since around 2000, which gives them more than two decades of experience in domain, DNS and hosting infrastructure. They sit right at the heart of the Russian internet ecosystem, especially around .ru, .рф and .su domain zones, and handle domain portfolios for a large number of corporate customers alongside individual site owners.

The most visible part of the offer is domain registration and related services. Customers get access to 700+ domain zones, from classic .com and .net to most country-code and niche extensions. Domains can be registered, renewed, transferred in or out, parked, protected against hijacking, and even insured via a dedicated Domain Insurance service. DNS hosting is tightly integrated, with primary and secondary DNS, domain redirection and tools for managing WHOIS contacts, which makes it easy to keep everything under one login.

On top of domains, RU-CENTER runs a full range of shared hosting plans aimed at both simple projects and busier business sites. Classic "Site" plans provide SSD storage, support for PHP and MySQL, professional email on the domain, FTP/SSH access, DNS management and unmetered traffic from a data center in Moscow. Higher-end variants add more RAM and CPU, more websites and databases, and features tuned for heavier loads. A built-in website builder and one-click CMS installer (WordPress, Joomla, Bitrix and others) make it possible to put a site online without deep technical skills, especially when used with their WordPress-specific CMS hosting plans that come with the CMS preinstalled and configured.

For projects that outgrow shared hosting, RU-CENTER offers a broad portfolio of VDS/VPS virtual servers on both Linux and Windows. Linux VDS plans use KVM virtualization on an OpenStack-based cloud, while Windows VDS runs on Microsoft Hyper-V. Typical plans include SSD storage, up to several CPU cores and many gigabytes of RAM, dedicated IPv4 addresses, unlimited traffic on a 100 Mbit/s port, and snapshot capabilities. The infrastructure is backed by a Tier-III Moscow data center, DDoS-protected network and a stated 99.9% uptime for VDS hosting. These servers suit applications, online stores, internal business systems and even game servers or trading terminals that need more isolation and performance than shared hosting can deliver.

At the very top of the stack stand the dedicated servers (DS line). These are physical machines in the same Moscow Tier-III data center, built on Intel® Xeon® server processors with options for different SSD/HDD combinations and hardware RAID. Dedicated server packages include unlimited web traffic, a 100 Mbit/s channel, out-of-band access via IPMI, and the possibility to add a full hosting control panel (primarily ISPmanager 6 Lite/Pro/Host) to turn the box into a multi-tenant hosting node or to host a large cluster of production sites with tight control over security and configuration.

The ecosystem is rounded out with business email, SSL certificates, website builder, domain security addons, and a strong emphasis on keeping data inside the Russian Federation. The overall impression is of a very infrastructure-heavy provider where domains and DNS come first, but where shared hosting, VDS/VPS and dedicated servers form a coherent stack for customers who want everything under one roof and physically located in Moscow.
