Hosting and certificates carry listed charges

The pricing pages attach separate charges or conditions to hosting, SSL certificates, redirection, and domain parking; the figures below are from pages checked on 2026-10-31.

• Hosting: the provider lists it from 144 rubles per month.
• Hosting purchase: the page says a free.RU,.PF, or.RUS domain is included when hosting is purchased for a year.
• Alpha SSL from GlobalSign: the SSL page lists it at 3,190 rubles per year, covering one domain plus its www subdomain.
• Alpha Wildcard from GlobalSign: the SSL page lists it at 6,990 rubles per year, covering one domain and all subdomains.
• Let’s Encrypt: the SSL page lists a free certificate for one domain with domain validation.
• Domain web redirection: WEBNAMES lists 300 ₽ per year.
• Domain parking: the service page lists it at 300 ₽ per year and says customers can host their own HTML page.

The hosting-linked domain offer has a stated purchase condition, while the certificate and domain-service charges are listed separately.

WHOIS and domain services extend the offer

Webnames describes WHOIS as a way to view a domain’s registration date and owner. That information is separate from the company’s broader catalog of domain and website services.

The company lists virtual hosting, VDS, dedicated server rental, website construction, domain email, and SSL certificates. Domain email can use an address based on the customer’s domain, while SSL certificates include domain-validation options for individuals and organizations.

Treat these as adjacent services to assess. The provider lists domain registration and management, hosting, SSL certificates, and domain email services.

Registration questions belong with support

Before registering, ask support to confirm the term, renewal deadline, and applicable charges for the chosen zone. Webnames lists email and telephone as contact channels.

For rights disputes, ask what the registrar’s stated role means for the domain record and the website. The company says it does not check registrations for possible third-party rights violations, and says it cannot restrict access to individual pages; it describes its authority as limited to annulling a domain record.

The homepage lists telephone support from 8:00 to 13:00 Moscow time temporarily. Confirm which contact route applies to the issue and whether the provider’s stated handling of a rights dispute fits your needs.

SSL renewal requires a server replacement

Webnames says a yearly SSL purchase involves two successive certificates, each valid for 199 days. After the first certificate’s term, the page says the next certificate is issued for another 199 days at no additional charge, provided domain control is reconfirmed by email.

Reissuance is not the final step: the replacement certificate must be installed on the web server, according to the SSL page. The page also says domain verification may take from one day to more than one week.

For paid certificates, Webnames requires a functioning domain-based email address using one of five administrator-style names listed by the provider. After 199 days, the certificate is renewed for another 199 days at no additional charge, with domain control needing re-confirmation by email. The provider says installing the replacement certificate on the web server is required after reissuance.

Hosting connects certificates and site controls

The provider’s hosting and SSL pages describe tools and services that sit alongside domain management, according to pages checked on 2026-10-31.

• The control-panel description names tools for files, databases, FTP users, DNS, SSL certificates, and backups.
• Webnames says free SSL can be connected for each domain hosted on its service, and offers free configuration help when a customer’s site is hosted elsewhere.
• The hosting service includes domain email and states compatibility with most CMS.
• The provider lists CloudFlare, antivirus, and Cron-manager among hosting features; its FAQ also describes Cloudflare in the hosting control panel.
• The FAQ describes configuring domain email with Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, and The Bat!.

Renewal and rights checks retain conditions

The provider’s published conditions place renewal timing, certificate handling, and rights disputes on the buyer’s checklist.

• Webnames says.RU domain owners have one month after registration expires to renew before deletion. That makes the renewal deadline material to keeping the domain registered, according to the homepage.
• A yearly SSL purchase involves two successive certificates, each valid for 199 days, according to the SSL page. Reissuance requires email confirmation of domain control, and the replacement must then be installed on the web server.
• Ordering a paid certificate requires a functioning domain-based email address using one of five administrator-style names listed by Webnames.
• The company says it does not check registrations for possible third-party rights violations. It also 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 Webnames.

Several details are missing; they are listed under What we could not confirm.

The bundled catalog suits domain-led work

The provider lists hosting, a website builder, and SSL certificates among its services.

The company also lists virtual hosting, VDS, dedicated server rental, website construction, and domain email. This scope gives domain-led buyers adjacent services to compare, but the catalog alone does not establish that they are bundled with registration.

Compare registrars by renewal and transfer terms

In general, compare registrars by zone coverage, renewal and transfer rules, privacy options, DNS controls, payment methods, support access, and account policies. Check which terms apply to the specific zone and services you plan to use, rather than treating a broad catalog as a substitute for product-level conditions.

Questions about Webnames.ru’s terms

Why do Webnames’ pages give different domain-zone counts?

Webnames’ homepage says it offers registration in more than 360 domain zones, while its company page says more than 350 national and international zones. The two vendor statements differ, so confirm coverage for the specific zone you intend to register.

What registration term and renewal window does Webnames state for.RU?

Webnames says.RU domains can be registered for one year. Its homepage gives owners one month after registration expires to renew before deletion, so the stated renewal window is relevant to maintaining the domain.

Is a domain included with a hosting purchase?

The homepage’s free domain offer applies when hosting is purchased for a year.

How does SSL reissuance work?

After reissuance, the page says the replacement certificate must be installed on the web server.

Which support channels does Webnames list?

Webnames lists email and telephone as support channels. Its FAQ says phone support temporarily operates from 8:00 to 13:00 Moscow time; confirm which route applies to your question and its current availability.

What information does Webnames’ WHOIS service show?

Webnames says its WHOIS service can show a domain’s registration date and owner. That describes the information the service can display; it does not, by itself, specify privacy options or their terms.

Proceed after the registration terms are clear

Fits if the chosen zone’s registration and renewal terms, and the relationship between registration and adjacent services, are clear before purchase.

Probably not if the decision requires a confirmed account of the registrar’s role in rights disputes; Webnames says it does not screen registrations for possible third-party rights violations.

Main risk… relying on a broad zone-count statement without confirming the chosen zone’s terms and renewal process.
