📜 Plan description

📄 Editorial Review

Reg.ru is a large Russian hosting provider and domain registrar that has been operating since 2006. Over the years they have grown into one of the dominant players in the Russian market for domains, classic hosting and cloud infrastructure, with hundreds of thousands of active customers and a very broad product catalog aimed at individuals, small and medium-sized businesses, and larger enterprises. The company is ICANN-accredited and handles a significant share of .ru domain registrations, so it is not a small reseller but a heavyweight local operator.

At the entry level, everything starts with domain registration. Customers can register domains in a wide range of TLDs, including national zones like .ru and .рф, generic extensions such as .com and .shop, and many of the modern new gTLDs. There is a domain marketplace for buying and selling existing domains, tools for bulk registration, a keyword-based domain generator, plus WHOIS and DNS tools integrated into the same account. Businesses that manage many domains can centralize portfolio management and use advanced features like parking and sale pages.

For hosting websites, Reg.ru offers shared web hosting on both Linux and Windows. Plans are structured for different levels of load, from simple brochure sites up to more resource-hungry projects. Common features across the shared platform include unlimited traffic, support for multiple sites and domains, bundled SSL certificates, integrated mail hosting, scheduled backups (with dozens of backup copies retained), and built-in DDoS protection at network and application layers. Shared servers are hosted in Russian Tier III–class data centers, and the focus is on high availability and stable performance rather than just squeezing prices as low as possible. On top of generic web hosting, there are specialized options like WordPress hosting, hosting tuned for 1C-Bitrix, as well as a website builder for users who prefer a visual site editor instead of deploying a CMS.

Above shared hosting, Reg.ru has a wide line of VPS/VDS servers based on KVM virtualization and its own virtualization stack. Customers can choose between standard SSD configurations and higher-performance NVMe-based plans, scaling from very small instances (around 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 10 GB SSD) up to multi-core, high-RAM virtual machines. Billing can be monthly or effectively hourly with a monthly cap, which suits both long-term production and short-term development or test environments. A large catalog of OS images (Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, CentOS Stream and others) and ready-made application templates is available – from LAMP/LEMP stacks and Docker to Nextcloud, GitLab, VPN servers and monitoring tools. There are also VPS configurations with GPU acceleration for workloads that need it. VPS instances can be deployed in several Russian regions, including Moscow, Saint Petersburg and Samara, with an uptime commitment around 99.95% for these virtual servers.

For larger projects, Reg.ru provides dedicated servers and broader cloud infrastructure under the Reg.cloud brand. Dedicated offers are based on modern AMD EPYC and Intel Xeon Gold platforms, with options for NVMe SSD, Optane, GPU-equipped servers, and enterprise storage arrays such as HPE 3PAR. Customers can pick predefined server models or configure their own, with support for both Linux and Microsoft Windows Server. On top of that sits a portfolio of public, private and hybrid cloud solutions built on OpenStack and VMware, including virtual data centers, 1C in the cloud, corporate storage and tailored infrastructure for high-load or Big Data scenarios. There is also colocation for clients who want to place their own hardware in Reg.ru data centers.

Around this core stack, Reg.ru bundles a lot of complementary services: corporate email, SSL certificates, cloud storage, chat widgets, online accounting, marketing tools, and integration with payment and booking platforms. Everything ties into a single account and billing system, so a client can start with a basic domain plus shared hosting and grow into serious cloud and bare-metal infrastructure without leaving the ecosystem.

reg.ru used to offer English website localization back in August 2020 , but after their recent rebranding, the English support was dropped!

Overall, the company is a full-service Russian provider that covers almost every level of hosting, from basic shared plans to serious cloud and dedicated infrastructure, with a strong focus on data residency in Russia and Tier III–class data centers.
