If you have ever created an Internet site, you probably know what hosting and domain are. You also may have used some website builder to design and launch a page on a topic of interest to you. And if you have been looking for a platform for hosting your site (hosting) for a long time, then you have repeatedly encountered non-professionals. This is said by many who were forced to find a reliable and affordable solution for themselves.
About a company that can always provide you with a profitable (in terms of costs) and suitable (according to its technical parameters) hosting, we will talk in this article. You have probably heard of her. This is the industry leader, Reg.ru. Reviews indicate that it is one of the largest domain registrars in Russia. And of course, she has all the qualities of a leader: low prices for services, excellent user support, the ability to choose the option that suits you best.
About the industry
Speaking of such an area as the provision of hosting services and registration of domain names, one cannot fail to note the highest levelcompetition. These niches contain the largest players in the Internet market, which have been present here since the early 2000s.
Of course, if you want to start your own company specializing in such services, you will need to come up with some brilliant idea that can just blow up the market. In any other case, you should not even think about conquering this Everest. After all, in fact, thousands of resellers are now working in this field, who simply sublease the power taken from the larger "sharks".
As the reviews characterizing the www.reg.ru service show, it is he who is such a “shark”, capable of absorbing smaller and weaker players, squeezing them out of the market and simply poaching customers. And there is nothing surprising in this - the company has rightfully taken a leadership position in the Internet services industry. Thousands of clients know about it; both small blogs and large commercial projects regularly buy services here, trusting Reg.ru (reviews of which we will present a little later) for the stable operation of their services and, in general, the further fate of their business.
Of course, in addition to this company, there are thousands more of the same on the Internet offering related services. However, there are not many projects on the web that operate at a similar scale. Reg.ru hosting (reviews can clearly confirm this) is a platform for the constant operation of a huge number of sites. Therefore, do not underestimate this giant, who means so much in the domain industry.
About company
Toto strike your imagination, it is enough to give some figures determined by the main statistical indicators. So, the company has repeatedly been recognized as the number one registrar in Russia due to the number of its clients, the total amount of all serviced domains and the quality of work. Also, this provider has about 2.5 million domain names in constant service. Over the entire period of its work, the company has provided its services about 14 million times. Today, about 900 thousand users buy hosting and domain services, as well as their other varieties. According to the reviews characterizing Reg.ru, all customers receive round-the-clock support from competent specialists on any issue of interest.
The resource we describe could achieve all this in a relatively short period - since 2006. At the same time, thanks to the large number of users, it has become one of the leaders in domain registration in Europe! That's how high this company is.
Activity Vector
As you already understood, the service provides domain registration and hosting services. Of course, in reality, the vector of the company's work is much wider. As the reviews show, Reg.ru has many other options and offers that may be of interest to entrepreneurs, companies, and even individuals. It all depends on what they do, for what purpose they turned to this service. All about the most popular services available on the site https://www.reg.ru (reviews - including), we will tella little further.
In the meantime, we note that, despite the different services provided by the company, in general, the vector of its activities remains rather narrow. This is a service in the field of Internet telecommunications. Whatever is added here as additional products (for example, the same website builder Reg.ru, reviews of which we will present to your attention below), domain names and hosting for websites still remain central. Based on them, the company begins to create some new services, areas of its activities that make the work of ordinary customers more comfortable and easier.
Domain Registration
Let's talk about the basic option, for which more than 2.5 million people regularly access the service. These figures speak volumes. First, they show that this company has a huge selection of domain name zones that are subject to registration. At the time of this writing, the service worked with 750 zones. Therefore, even if the user wants to have a site with a name different from the.ru zone, he can apply for some more original zone (including geographical names of some islands or thematic new domains such as.hotel,.travel and etc.).
Secondly, it is safe to work with such a provider. For each site, the domain name is the basis of future activity. It is due to him that any Internet resource becomes known, other users recognize it. Therefore, if a client wants to create their own resource that will function without any problems with the domain name, they need toturn to a trusted, reliable registrar, who will also continue to work in the future (so that you do not have to deal with transferring the domain and performing other similar extra steps). If you read reviews about the registrar describing Reg.ru, you will see for yourself how stable this service is.
As stated on their website, the registrar's liability is insured for a million dollars by Rosgosstrakh. At a minimum, this should inspire confidence in customers. And reliability is in this case another argument for using Reg.ru. Reviews about the hosting that the company offers its customers, we will present in the next section. Here you will also learn more about the pricing policy. In the meantime, let's get back to domain names and give one more, third argument confirming that cooperation with Reg.ru is your right choice.
This argument is the price policy. Despite the fact that the service is the leader in the Russian market, it does not pursue big profits with the help of high prices for its services. You can verify this by visiting the corresponding tab "Cost of services".
This lists the prices for creating a name in each of the available domain names. In a huge list (consisting, we recall, of more than 700 variations), you can find both international and regional domains, as well as thematic zones to identify your business. Taking into account the flexible system of discounts (which apply, for example, to the registration of several names at once), the user receivesthe opportunity to get your Internet address is cheaper than many other registrar companies. And this despite the fact that you are invited to work with a leader!
So, for example, a.ru domain costs only 199 rubles,.com - 784 rubles,.net - 756 rubles a year. You can get acquainted with the prices in more detail on the corresponding page of the site.
Another advantage of the service is the simplicity of the interface. As the reviews characterizing Reg.ru show, you can register a domain here in just a few minutes, simply by entering your personal data and choosing the desired name.
Hosting
Another important direction in the company's work is the provision of hosting services for placing sites on the Internet. A description of this activity can be found in another section of the resource dedicated to various tariff plans. It should be said that Reg.ru hosting, reviews of which we analyzed in the process of writing this material, is represented by a wide range of tariff plans, which are divided into three groups: unlimited, classic and VIP packages.
Each of them has several plans that have their own characteristics and characteristics. For example, in unlimited there is a Host-Unlim plan, which implies a complete absence of restrictions on the amount of traffic, disk space, databases, and so on. The cost of this package starts from just 199 rubles per month, but the price is likely to increase as the client connects new options. The final cost thus depends on the user's resource needs.
The classic group of tariffs is 5 hosting plans, the cost of which varies between 149-389 rubles in the basic content. At the same time, the client can change the configuration of each of the presented plans and, thus, increase their cost. You can see the details of what features each of the tariffs is characterized by in the Hosting tab. Reg.ru. Reviews report that it provides detailed information about plans and terms of use.
Other Services
Of course, there is also a list of other services that the company provides to its customers. These are both sections related to the products described above, as well as completely different related options. The former, for example, include the ability to rent a VPS or Dedicated server; get access to cloud hosting or order the protection of your site using an SSL certificate. As for the second group of related services, they include the Reg.ru website builder.
Reviews about it indicate that users really appreciated the capabilities of this tool. Everything is extremely simple: if a person has the opportunity to develop a website without involving any third-party services, on his own, he simply will not need such a constructor. And vice versa, if a user is interested in the ability to launch a web service without knowledge of programming languages and even without knowing the basics of html markup, he can do this using just such a Reg.ru constructor. Reviews about him were left by people who turned to him for help, and they are mostlypositive character. They say that the tool is ideal for beginners and those who do not want to spend their time learning the basics or money for experts.
Reviews about the constructor that characterize the Reg.ru service note that this tool is very useful. It has a wide selection of templates and all the necessary functionality that you need to launch your resource. And most importantly, it is very easy to use and, judging by the comments, a large number of users liked it.
Customer Reviews
We have already started characterizing the comments left about the website builder developed by the company. Now I would also like to give reviews and ratings of customers describing Reg.ru, dedicated to hosting. After all, unlike a one-time operation in the form of domain registration, constant maintenance of servers is a more complicated task. And if you want to become a client of the company, you must know how well they do it.
After analyzing about a hundred reviews, we can conclude that the average rating is 3.5 points out of 5. The reason for this is simple: some users indicated that the company provides the service at the highest level, making it possible to order tariffs at minimum prices. The other part, on the contrary, negatively characterizes the work of the company in terms of hosting services, noting constant failures in the functioning of their Internet projects. It is difficult to say what caused such a contrast in the comments. Perhaps the owners of some resources really experienced problems, but it may alsobe that such reviews were left specifically to lower the hoster's rating. Still, it is hard to believe that a company like Reg.ru does not monitor its servers and cannot provide them with high uptime and stable operation.
In addition, many praise the work of this hosting provider for the reason that this company is able to provide a number of additional services (in addition to basic hosting). Their serious attitude is immediately visible: Reg.ru can rent out its dedicated servers to you, so can't they provide normal operation of shared hosting tariffs? This is simply unrealistic, by all indications the company is a leader in the field of Internet / telecom services, and this is a guarantee of quality customer service.
Vacancies
So, we discussed how the company works with its customers, providing domain registration and website hosting services. You may not even know, but automatic SEO is also carried out here. Reg.ru (reviews repeatedly confirm this) is a multi-profile company capable of providing a whole range of services. However, we will not return to customer service. In the last sections of the article, we would like to draw your attention to how its employees relate to work within the service. And for this, therefore, we will analyze the vacancies available in the company (at least at the time of writing).
So, having visited the “Reg.ru Career” tab, we found that the company is recruiting employees in various areas of its activity. For example, in customer servicetechnical support specialists, consultants for transferring sites from one hosting to another, specialists for consultations on the operation of domain names are required. All these vacancies are interesting, promising in terms of career and, of course, highly paid.
The second direction is design and development. It requires a UX designer as well as a Perl programmer. For these vacancies, in turn, the company puts forward other requirements. Generally speaking, there are completely different criteria for selecting specialists.
Employee reviews
What do those who already work there write about working in this company? In order to find out, we seek help from resources that post real reviews of specialists about a particular service (more precisely, about what it is like to work here). And so we saw information from several development specialists who went to Reg.ru.
Employee feedback, it should be noted, looks much more positive than customer comments. They report that it was really difficult to get this job. A serious interview was required, after which HR managers determined whether these specialists were suitable for the company. It turned out that they were successfully accepted, after which they were officially enrolled in the state.
In addition to the basic benefits in the form of legal employment and a "white" salary, as well as a pleasant team and a whole range of social guarantees, each of the reviews also notes how interesting the work insuch a company. Here, indeed, the employee is required not to perform some kind of mechanical, machine work, but to show creativity and search for an extraordinary way to solve the problem. If you are a creative person who wants to try something new in life, working here will be a real pleasure for you.
Conclusions
So, what can we say about such a well-known and so successful company as Reg.ru? Without too much modesty, it can be noted that this is one of the most successful IT companies, not counting search engines and social networks. Considering that the service is exclusively commercial in nature, such a number of registered users indicates a high-class service, the right approach of its creators to this business and the right priorities set in the course of the project's activities on the market.
Due to all these factors, as well as due to the right time to launch the service, the company turned out to be very dynamically developing and actively expanding the scope of its activities. If the original profile of the service was domain registration, now it is also the hosting of Internet projects, as well as a number of ancillary services. This approach makes the service a real center of Internet technologies. Moreover, the company managed to succeed in such a competitive and busy market, which is already crowded with strong players. This is another indication of how justified all the investments made by the founders at the very beginning.
Today Reg.ru is a successful project capable of functioning independently. Obviously hecontinues to develop and only improves its service in order to make interaction with its customers even more comfortable and simple.
