Domain registrars

Webnames.ru

Webnames.ru logo on the cover of the review

Webnames lists free SSL with hosting, while paid certificates have separate prices. For paid certificates, the provider requires a working domain email, and reissuance requires confirming domain control by email and installing the replacement certificate. Webnames combines domain registration with hosting, SSL certificates, and domain email. This mix may suit site owners comparing registration and hosting services, provided they account for the certificate steps.

Domain registration and related services

The provider’s pages list these services and tools, checked 2026-10-31.

  • Registration: domain registration and management.
  • WHOIS: can show a domain’s registration date and owner.
  • Hosting: virtual hosting, VDS, and dedicated server rental.
  • Related services: website construction, domain email, and SSL certificates.

More than 360 zones on the homepage

The homepage says WEBNAMES offers registration in more than 360 domain zones. The company page gives a different figure: more than 350 national and international zones. Both are vendor statements checked on 2026-10-31; the pages do not resolve the discrepancy.

The company page lists.RU,.PF,.SU,.COM,.NET,.BIZ, and.INFO among the available zones. The homepage identifies LLC Regtaym as the company behind its offers. The company page states that LLC Regtaym was founded in 2000. It also identifies the company as a legal entity and provides its tax identification number.

The company page lists LLC Regtaym’s legal address in Samara, at 78 Stara Zagora Street, premises 18.

Hosting control panel and domain email

Webnames describes virtual hosting as a way to place a customer’s website on the registrar’s server. After activation, hosting access details are sent to the account contact email. The control panel includes file, database, FTP-user, DNS, SSL-certificate, and backup tools.

The provider lists WordPress, Joomla!, ModX Revolution, and 1C Bitrix among its supported CMS topics. It also says the hosting control panel includes Cloudflare.

Domain email can use an address based on the customer’s domain. The provider describes configuring email with Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, and The Bat! Its FAQ also describes connecting a free Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate.

The diagram shows the provider’s certificate renewal and replacement steps.
The provider describes renewal by email confirmation followed by server installation. Built from facts published on webnames.ru; checked 2026-10-31.

Hosting and SSL have separate listed terms

The homepage lists hosting from 144 rubles per month. It says a free.RU,.PF, or.RUS domain is included when hosting is purchased for a year.

The SSL page lists paid certificates alongside a free option, with different coverage and prices.

  • Alpha SSL from GlobalSign: 3,190 rubles per year; one domain and its www subdomain.
  • Alpha Wildcard from GlobalSign: 6,990 rubles per year; one domain and all subdomains.
  • Let’s Encrypt: free certificate for one domain with domain validation.

The provider lists free SSL with hosting and says it can be connected for each domain through the hosting control panel. Domain web redirection is listed at 300 ₽ per year.

Certificate renewal requires a server update

Before relying on a certificate for a hosted site, ask how renewal and installation are handled. Webnames says domain control must be reconfirmed by email when a certificate is reissued, and the replacement must then be installed on the web server.

Clarify which account email receives service access details and whether it remains current. Ask what happens if the domain-control confirmation email cannot be accessed. For a site hosted elsewhere, ask what the provider’s certificate-configuration help covers.

For a paid certificate, confirm that the domain email requirement fits the domain’s setup. Also ask what verification involves and how long it may take; Webnames says verification can take from one day to more than one week.

Listed services cover connected site tasks

The service list brings registration, hosting, SSL certificates, and domain email under one provider.

  • The hosting control panel lists file, database, FTP-user, DNS, SSL-certificate, and backup tools.
  • The provider’s WHOIS service can show a domain’s registration date and owner.
  • The services page says the website builder includes more than 200 templates.
  • The SSL page says free SSL can be connected for each domain through the hosting control panel.

Renewal and registration conditions narrow scope

Webnames’ homepage and company pages set out registration and registrar limitations.

  • The provider says.RU domains are registered for one year, with one month after expiry to renew before deletion.
  • Paid-certificate orders require a working domain email using one of five listed administrator-style names.
  • The registrar says it does not check registrations for possible third-party rights violations.
  • If a domain record is challenged, the provider says it can annul that record but cannot restrict access to individual website pages.

Several registrar details remain unanswered; see What we could not confirm.

Compare registrar terms by control

Compare registrars by the domain zones they offer, renewal rules, DNS controls, transfer terms, privacy options, and support channels. Ask how each handles domain records and what actions remain available if ownership or rights are disputed.

Hosting bundles suit mixed site needs

Webnames’ hosting may suit buyers who want a control panel, domain email, and security features from one provider. The provider lists ISPmanager, DDoS protection, CloudFlare, antivirus, and Cron-manager among its hosting features.

The vendor states that hosting uptime is above 99.95%. It also says hosting includes compatibility with most CMS. Buyers considering a simple parked domain can check the listed parking option, which allows a customer’s own HTML page.

Answers on Webnames.ru services and terms

How does Webnames describe its domain-zone coverage?

The homepage says WEBNAMES offers registration in more than 360 domain zones. The company page describes more than 350 national and international zones. Both figures come from Webnames pages, and they differ; the company page additionally names zones including.RU,.PF,.SU,.COM,.NET,.BIZ, and.INFO.

What does the hosting purchase include for a domain?

The page says a free.RU,.PF, or.RUS domain is included when hosting is purchased for a year.

What does Webnames say about.RU renewal?

The homepage says.RU domains can be registered for one year. It also says owners have one month after registration expires to renew before deletion. These are the provider’s stated terms for.RU domains; they should not be read as terms for every zone.

Which support channels does Webnames list?

The homepage lists email and telephone as support channels. It says telephone support is temporarily available from 8:00 to 13:00 Moscow time. The company page lists office hours Monday through Friday, from 9:00 to 18:00, with a break from 13:00 to 14:00. Office hours and telephone availability are separate details.

Fit depends on registration and renewal needs

Fits if… the service mix matches your site needs and you can manage the provider’s certificate re-confirmation and installation steps.

Probably not if…

Main risk… certificate reissuance requires email confirmation of domain control and installation of the replacement certificate on the web server.
