Timeweb login. TimeWeb hosting review (Timeweb)

With this article I am starting a series of reviews of hosting companies. Registration in Timeweb became for me the starting point into the world of paid hosting. Before this, there was pampering on Yukoz and other free services. I’ll start with TimeWeb.Ru.

X hosting company TimeWeb.ru has existed since 2006, which is considered young among providers. TimeWeb is based in St. Petersburg. Among the hoster's clients are several banks, including Home Credit Bank, Studio Soyuz, cosmetics company Schwarzkopf, anti-virus software developer ESET NOD32, the largest franchising 1-C and other equally well-known companies.

Registration in TimeWeb is quite simple

What concerns directly registration in TimeWeb, then it is quite simple to implement. You will be quickly registered; for this you need to purchase hosting, or get it for free for a 10-day trial.

But first things first. Let's follow the link to the main page of the hoster TimeWeb . This is the general view of the main page of the TimeWeb website.

Order a hosting service

You can get an account in TimeWeb when ordering any service. Go to the tab - Services (it is open by default) and select the one we need.


For example, let's click on the link - Order. A panel like this will pop up with the types of services. Next to each link there is a short description. Most likely you will need virtual hosting, perhaps purchasing a domain. What else does a novice webmaster need?


Fill out the hosting order form

F meme on the button - Virtual hosting. We receive the appropriate order form.

Please fill out all fields carefully.

1. Select a tariff plan from the drop-down list; in the screenshot it is Optima, not the simplest, not the most complex, but a fairly complete tariff plan. We will talk about TimeWeb tariffs separately soon. For now, it is important to know that you can easily switch from one tariff plan to another while working on the site. And there is the possibility of free testing of the service for 10 days.

2. Type of client - leave - Individual. Unless, of course, you register hosting for yourself, and not for a legal entity.

3. Payment period - select the number of months of payment for hosting in the drop-down list. The default is 1 year. The fact is that if you pay for a full year at TimeWeb, you will receive cost savings (discount) plus one free domain (registration or renewal) in zone.ru. At more serious tariffs, the list of domain zones is much wider. I repeat, we will return to tariffs in future posts.

4. User information.

In fact, you are required to fill out two lines in this section. The rest may not be filled in for now.

  • Your full name (required) - Fill out this field as accurately as possible. Just like in a passport, this is where legal matters begin.
  • E-mail address (required) - enter your “live” email here. Otherwise, where will they send you the password to your account?

Fill in the steel fields as desired.

  • Select a name - create a login for yourself to log into the system. And so on.

5. Tick the checkbox - I agree with the terms of the offer agreement - and click the button - Register.

We receive a letter with TimeWeb account data

You will receive a letter with your TimeWeb account credentials to the email address you provided. Password, login, DNS server addresses, information about the test period, your tariff plan and much other data. You can return to the main TimeWeb panel and go to the Control Panel of your account. All! On this registration in TimeWeb.Ru finished.

What is hosting? This is a virtual home for your website, which is needed so that your site lives on the Internet, has a residence permit there, and can be accessed by any Internet user 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Timeweb hosting (in Russian timeweb) is one of the most popular hosting providers.

To find the official website of Timeweb, just type “timeweb” in the search bar, or type “timeweb”. The first line that the search engine returns will most likely be the official hosting site - timeweb.com.

timeweb registration

By going to this site, you can familiarize yourself with all the tabs. But now we are interested in the “Hosting” tab (Fig. 1).

Rice. 1 “Hosting” tab on timeweb.com

We click on the “Hosting” tab, and a page with timeweb hosting tariff plans opens in front of us. Here you can familiarize yourself with these plans, see how much hosting costs for a year, for a month, what savings there are and the presence (or absence) of bonuses.


Rice. 2 Choose a tariff for Timeweb hosting

It is best to order hosting for a year at once using the “Year” tariff plan. Why for a year? In this case, hosting gives you a domain name as a gift. You can place two websites here if you are just starting out on the Internet. This is quite enough.

So, you click on the “Order” line (number 2 in Fig. 2). The tariff plan you have chosen will open in front of you.


Rice. 3 Enter data to order timeweb hosting

Here you need to enter your information:

Number 1 in Fig. 3 – In the “Tariff plan” field, select a different tariff plan. To do this, click on the small triangle that the arrow points to. A drop-down menu will appear in which we select a tariff for timeweb hosting.

Number 2 in Fig. 3 – In the “Client Type” field, indicate “Individual”.

Number 3 in Fig. 3 – In the “Payment period” field, select any period convenient for you: from 1 month to 3 years (for example, let’s choose a year). To select a different period, click on the triangle pointed to by the arrow and a menu with payment period options will appear.

Number 4 in Fig. 3 – In the “User Information” field, enter your full name. I recommend that you indicate your real last name, first name, and patronymic, because it will only be possible to confirm your rights to hosting, domain and website in this case.

Number 5 in Fig. 3 – a valid e-mail (mailbox) to which you will receive information about your hosting and website.

Number 6 in Fig. 3 – username, which you type in Latin. It must consist of at least five characters; numbers and letters can be used. You will then enter this name when logging into your account (personal account) at timeweb hosting. You will also need to provide a password.

Number 7 in Fig. 3 – If you have one, indicate the promo code of the partner who invited you to TimeWeb. Perhaps he will receive a commission from TimeWeb for attracting you as a new client. If there is no promo code, skip this field without filling it out.

Number 8 in Fig. 3 – Then put a tick in the checkbox and agree to the terms of the offer. I don’t have a checkmark on the screenshot, so timeweb won’t register me.

Number 9 in Fig. 3 – Then click on the “Order” button.

In the next window we see that registration has been successfully completed (Fig. 4), and a reminder that you can use timeweb hosting services for free for ten days:


Rice. 4 Message that registration on timeweb hosting is completed

If you don’t like timeweb hosting, you don’t have to pay for it, but start all over again, from scratch, but on a different hosting.

Then in your mailbox, which you specified during registration, you will find a letter where the Timeweb hosting provider will congratulate you on your successful registration and provide you with the login information for your personal account. Just in case there is no letter, do not forget to check the Spam folder in your mail.

The following will be indicated here:

  • data for communication via FTP, which will be useful in the future,
  • the tariff plan you have chosen, and
  • a reminder that you need to make payment within ten days.

Payment for timeweb hosting

Now go to the control panel of your account. To do this, you need to enter your data (password and login - numbers 1 and 2 in Fig. 6), click the “Login” button (number 3 in Fig. 6):


Rice. 6 Timeweb login to your account

After which you are logged into your account. Now on this page we are interested in the tab called “Finance”:

Rice. 7 Let's start paying for timeweb hosting

You can pay for the hosting that we ordered for a year from this control panel. Click on the “Top up balance” link and select the payment method that suits you best. This can be electronic money and cards (for example, a bank card). The amount is already indicated here.


Rice. 8 Choose a payment method for timeweb hosting
  • 1 – payment by receipt at the bank, the receipt will be issued by timeweb hosting
  • 2 – cashless payment

  • 4 – payment via WebMoney
  • 5 – payment by credit card
  • 6 – payment via Qiwi
  • 7 – payment via Elecsnet

Let's say we chose to pay by credit card (number 5 in Fig. 8). Click “Pay”, we are redirected to the payment page.


Rice. 9 Payment for timeweb hosting by bank card

Here you enter your card details:

  • card number (number 1 in Fig. 9),
  • validity period (month, year – numbers 2 and 3),
  • owner (as written on the card - number 4),
  • fill in the CVV code - number 5 (the last digits on the back of your card).
  • Then enter a valid e-mail (number 6), mobile phone number (number 7) and
  • Click on the “Pay” button (number 8).

Domain registration on timeweb

For 10 days, during which you can test hosting for free, a free domain is issued, this is the so-called “technical domain”, which has the obligatory “prefix” tmweb.ru. For example, if my username on the hosting is inetgramotnost, then the technical domain will look like: inetgramotnost.tmweb.ru.

And when you pay for hosting, you can register a domain from the control panel. Log into your TimeWeb account (Fig. 6), go to the “Domains and subdomains” tab and click “Register a new domain”. First, you must decide on the domain, which name suits you best for your type of activity. Here you can check your domain that you have chosen..

If the domain is busy, then you can experiment and find an unoccupied domain (for example, change the letters). If the domain is available, you can register it. Click “Add to registration”, then “Pay separately”. When you pay for your hosting for a year, the domain name comes to you as a gift. You will see the message “Pay towards the bonus”. You click on this item and the domain is registered.

We create a website on Timeweb

Now let's create a website for your domain. Go to “Domains and subdomains”. Your registered domain will be here:

  • or a “technical domain” issued for the duration of hosting testing,
  • or received as a bonus after paying for hosting for a year.

Copy its name, go to the “Sites” tab and click “Create a new site”. We register the directory of your domain name, fill in the “Comment on the site” field (for example, postcards) and click the “Create” button.

In the next window, the site directory to which you need to link the domain will appear. Click on the “Bind domain” link, select this domain name from the list and click “Bind”. Thus, we registered for hosting, registered a domain and created a website.

Installing the engine on the site

From the “CMS Catalog” tab, you can select an engine for your site, for example, the free popular one. Click on the “Wordpress” button, then click on the “Install application” button.


Rice. 10 Install the WordPress engine on your website with a mouse click

A letter will be sent to your e-mail containing your login and password to enter the administrative panel of your site. You can access this panel without logging into your TimeWeb hosting account.

Timeweb hosting, with its central slogan, positions itself as “more than hosting.” How true this is, we have to figure out.

Timeweb is located legally and physically in Russia. The data center is located in St. Petersburg. The total throughput of Timeweb channels is more than 10 Gbit/s. It is the ratio of the physical “reality” of hosting and a more than affordable price that is, in fact, of consumer interest.

Peculiarities

Almost every hosting service has its own individual differences that help it stand out and attract the consumer. Timeweb is no exception:

  • 10 days of free test hosting for new clients;
  • the ability to configure SMS messages to inform you about events on your account;
  • setting up a Jabber server;
  • the ability to develop an individual tariff plan;
  • 3 months of free hosting as a gift when moving a site from another hosting;
  • domain as a gift when you pay for hosting for a year;
  • one year of free hosting when purchasing CMS “1C-Bitrix”;

It’s also worth emphasizing that Timeweb traffic is free and unlimited on ALL tariff plans!

Rates

Timeweb offers a set of five standard tariff plans, which even have stylish names in St. Petersburg: Year, Optimo, Century, Millennium and Eterno.

With the most economical option - Year - you get 2 GB of disk space and the ability to host two websites and two MySQL databases. The most expensive, Eterno, provides 20 GB of space, the ability to “host” as many as 30 sites, and you can create as many databases as you like, without restrictions. Actually, “unlimited” on the number of databases begins with the Century tariff plan.

A separate feature of Timeweb is that if you have special requirements, the company’s employees can develop an individual tariff plan for you, taking into account the specifics of your projects and your wishes.

Premium hosting

The Premium hosting service is worth highlighting separately, as it is not just a tariff plan. The company positions the service as the optimal solution for web projects created on the basis of 1C-Bitrix. The cost of the service is quite high - 4000 rubles/month. Here's what Timeweb offers for this amount:

  • Guarantee of the highest level of service (SLA 99.9% - the guarantee is formalized in a separate agreement);
  • Top priority for technical support. The waiting time will be no more than an hour in the worst case scenario;
  • The availability of your services is monitored 24 hours a day. In case of problems, the response time is no more than 3 minutes;
  • 20 GB disk space for your corporate email. Protection against spam and malware using Kaspersky is provided;
  • 50 GB of disk space;
  • Automatic backup of all information for the last three days;
  • 5% discount when paying for Premium hosting for 6 months and 10% when paying for a year;
  • Exclusive conditions for working with accounting.

As we see, under certain conditions, such a set of services may well justify itself.

Specifications

As mentioned above, Timeweb maintains its own data center. Being in partnership with Intel and AMD, the hosting can afford new and powerful servers. All servers undergo careful monitoring and countless different tests. The safety of information is guaranteed by a “hot” backup system.

As for the physical data transfer speed, Timeweb claims that everything is also “at the level”. Cisco Systems communications equipment (the de facto standard) does not need any special introduction. The Timeweb node is connected to two independent fiber-optic channels, which provides reliable insurance against communication “falls” and various smaller interruptions.

Database

Timeweb primarily uses MySQL5, but the most expensive Eterno plan offers MySQL4 as an option.

Control panel

Timeweb hosting uses a control panel of its own design. This is in some way a plus, since any issues regarding malfunctions or emergency situations are resolved “on the spot,” whereas if a “glitch” is detected in a commercial control panel, nothing can be done until the update is released.

NS/DNS

All hosting plans include DNS management.

FTP/SSH

Also, all tariff plans include support for SSH, sFTP/FTP.

Registration

As is often the case with various hosters, in order to register, you still need to buy something. In fact, there is not even a “Registration” button/link, instead of which the inscription “Order” is unobtrusively but without alternative. However, the ordering procedure is simple and transparent, upon completion of which the user receives all the necessary technical data to access the control panel, databases, the hosting itself via ftp, etc.

Technical support

Information about support contacts on the hosting website is located in the lower left corner (if you scroll to the very bottom of the site). There you will only see support e-mail – [email protected] and a link to LiveChat. The last one is a simple chat, quite convenient. First you formulate a question, then you “ask” it by clicking the appropriate button. Support responds instantly.

But that is not all. You can get exactly the same information by telephone - St. Petersburg, Moscow and all-Russian (8-800...). But the site does not emphasize that the indicated telephone numbers can also be used to contact technical support, and not just the office.

Bottom line

Timeweb's strength is its combination of price and the range of offerings at that price. In this case it is very, very successful. We have everything you need for both a business card website and a powerful resource with tens of thousands of visitors. Another nice thing is that Timeweb has “everything of its own”. Own data center, office, staff, and all this is not scattered around the world, like some “hosters”, but is located in St. Petersburg. Over 6 years of operation, Timeweb has confidently earned a reputation as a reliable and inexpensive hosting that is suitable for most.


So, it all started in November 2011, when I bought a domain and hosted the site on TimeWeb hosting servers. I was careful when choosing a hoster, studied and read reviews on the Internet, compared it with other offers and decided: although it’s a little more expensive than others, it’s probably worth it! The first year, everything was basically not bad: although the site was periodically unavailable with a 502 Bad Gateway error, it was restored quite quickly.

Big problems for TimeWeb, and therefore for my website, began about six months ago. By that time, I already had one of the site availability monitoring services connected, as well as a monitor from Yandex Metrica. The site constantly fell, rose, fell again and rose again...

At first, after each major crash, TimeWeb technical support sent a letter by email explaining the cause of the problem and apologizing for the inconvenience caused. Over the past month, three server crashes have begun to happen so often that technical support has even stopped sending anything and apologizing, otherwise this would have to be done almost every day several times. Here is a screenshot of recent availability monitoring (note the duration of the errors when the site was just lying):

I noticed that over the past two months I had already developed a kind of phobia of going to the site and writing an article, because often I simply could not complete the article for half a day due to the fact that the server periodically did not respond. It went like this: I wrote part of the text, clicked save - the server gave an error, wanted to add a picture to the text - again an error, and so on throughout the day. The days when I could sit down and simply write an article from start to finish, and when I didn’t receive SMS messages on my mobile phone about the unavailability of my site, I perceived as the best grace in the world, and these days became truly the happiest days in my life! But oh how rare they were...

One day I couldn’t stand it and wrote the following message to technical support:

“Today all my sites are down almost all day. The websites of other Watson server users are also unavailable. What's going on and why haven't you received a single email saying that you have problems with your hosting?
Why has this problem been observed constantly lately, almost every day, and you began to hush it up? Not even an apology or explanation.”

To this complaint, I received the following response from a technical support specialist:

“There was an attack on the DNS server, so some sites and services may not work or work with a delay. At the moment, the attack has been repelled by TIMEWEB engineers, and functionality has been restored. We continue to monitor the situation. We apologize for the inconvenience."

Two months ago, I received a letter in the mail, the general gist of which was that my “account systematically puts an excessive load on the server,” and as a solution to this problem, I was asked to either figure out the reasons for this myself or change the tariff to a more expensive one . Otherwise, they promised to disconnect me within 7 days... By the way, the “more expensive” tariff in this situation is Eterno, the monthly payment for which is 825 rubles. instead of 175, which I paid at that time.


Having searched the Internet for reasons for increased load on the site and ways to solve them, I found many reviews of people (most of whom, oddly enough, were TimeWeb clients) who also received such “chain letters”. Moreover, in a number of cases, people had absolutely “zero” sites with traffic of up to a couple of dozen people per day. All of them were unanimous in their opinion that TimeWeb was encouraging people to change their tariff plan to a more expensive one. However, such things will not work with me...

I must say that before this I very often noticed abnormal behavior of the load counter of my sites on the TimeWeb server in my account control panel. This value could remain in the region of 0.2-0.9 cp for a very long time (the permissible limit at the tariff of 50 cp), or it could sharply without any reason increase 10-15 times within 1-4 days (even up to 75-80 and higher) and drop so sharply to 10-15, etc. I wrote about this to technical support, but never received a clear explanation. Here is a screenshot of a fragment of statistics:

So: after receiving the letter, I asked to reasonably prove that it was my sites that were causing the increased load on their server, to which I received an answer from the department of high-load projects that “unfortunately, additional information about the source of the increased load is not available from our side.” My 3-4 subsequent letters, in which I asked to indicate at least which of my 5 sites was causing the load, also did not solve anything, and in response I received only standard replies of this kind:

“On our part, information was provided on the method for measuring the load on the server, as well as on the possible causes of load surges. Specific information about the reasons leading to the occurrence of maximum/minimum load values ​​is not available from our side and cannot be provided.
You need to analyze the load created by your account on different days yourself, using an organized development environment, web server access logs and/or other ready-made technical solutions.”

Then I made a knight move and wrote the following:

“There is no need to copy pieces of pre-prepared text and copy-paste them. If I don’t receive a specific answer this time, I will be forced to talk with your management, but I think they will not be very happy to fulfill your duties.”

And lo and behold! Literally the very next day, the load dropped to normal values ​​and never exceeded them again)) A happy coincidence? Don't think…

Slowly, I began to study other hosting services and translate my sites, because I realized that TimeWeb couldn’t make a mess. As for the site, everything was decided the day before yesterday, which I will remember for a long time...

At lunchtime the problems started: I received text messages on my mobile phone about the site being unusable almost every 20 minutes. And then I received a letter in the mail that stated the following:

“TIMEWEB engineers recorded an excessive increase in the number of requests to your website; as a result of analyzing these requests, a DDOS attack was identified.
TIMEWEB engineers are taking all possible measures to repel the attack.
The window that pops up when you first visit a site with the “OK” button installed on your site is part of the security system.”

I must say that this window was installed very crookedly by the wise TimeWeb engineers. When you closed it, a cyclic redirection occurred, as a result of which the site did not open at all. I don’t think it’s necessary to say that as a result of this, traffic to the site from all channels completely stopped...

I wrote a ticket to technical support asking them to explain what exactly was happening and why my site was completely unavailable, but I received an answer only after exactly 10 hours (!!!)... By this time I had completely moved to another hosting on my own and gave up on TimeWeb . This article was written the very next day after the site was restored to normal operation).

By the way, a remarkable fact: after they sent me a letter about a DDOS attack on my site, I looked out of interest to see what was happening to other sites on my IP at that time. It turned out that the rest of the sites on my account were working normally, but on some other sites on the Watson server I noticed the same window installed by the glorious TimeWeb engineers. Apparently, the DDOS attack was carried out not only on my website, as stated in the letter)). Here is a screenshot from one of the sites at that moment:

Yesterday I looked here at http://hosting101.ru/timeweb.ru and was horrified by how the situation with reviews of TimeWeb has changed over the past two years! Read, and you will see that I was far from the only lucky one from this hosting provider with the problems described above.


I almost forgot...) In conclusion, I would like to say a few words about TimeWeb technical support via Skype and ICQ. In the form it is now, it is more suitable for those occasions in life when you really want to talk to someone, but no one is around. I have not even come close to solving a single question or problem using this communication channel!

Those sitting on the other end simply copy-paste in response universal pre-prepared phrases that are suitable in any case. I even then predicted in advance with a probability of approximately 70% that they would write to me in response to my next problem. Among the most popular responses from TimeWeb technical support are the following:

“There is a problem with your data on the server. At the moment, our specialists are taking measures to solve the problem, this section will soon become available. We apologize for the inconvenience caused.”

“We are aware of the problem and we are already working on solving it. Unfortunately, we do not currently have detailed information about the causes and time to resolve the problems; we will be happy to keep you updated on developments within the framework of the ticket system, which you can use in the control panel on the page.”

Well, the most common and constantly used answer:
“Unfortunately, the answer to this question is beyond the scope of issues on which we can advise within the framework of this correspondence.”

Friends, in this article I also wanted to write about which hosting I chose and why, what were the results of the move and my impressions of the work, but, as you can see, the publication turned out to be very voluminous, so I promise to do it in the very near future).

I also promise to tell you about the unique service “Hosting Ninja”, which helped me a lot when choosing a new hosting. Based on his own measurements of website opening speed, availability time, user reviews and other parameters, he created an excellent rating of hosters, both domestic and foreign! The rating is constantly being adjusted and supplemented, which is good news!

Don't miss out (subscribe to the RSS update feed)! There will definitely be a comparison of site speed and other characteristics on TimeWeb and the new hosting!

In conclusion, I would like to say the following. If you value your nerves, money, and ultimately your website, bypass TimeWeb hosting. I think dozens of negative reviews from other users, and my own experience, say something. And for me personally, the motto of this company “timeweb - more than hosting” has acquired a completely different meaning, and I think you understand what I mean)).

Hello, my dear subscribers and guests! Roman Chueshov is in touch. In this article I will tell you what timeweb hosting is and how to use it.

Many of you can no longer imagine your life without. Do you know how this whole thing works? How does a search engine know where to look for the information you need? Why are pages opened to people in all corners of the world? Most users never think about these questions: it works – and it’s great!

And it works because all the information is hosted on huge servers. And if the server on which the site is located “falls,” then we will lose the opportunity to play our favorite game or read an interesting blog. Today I will tell you how hosting works - that’s what the providers’ servers are called, and I’ll take the hosting provider timeweb as an example.

It so happened that last week this topic was raised in our company: my friend is planning to place his website on the Internet. As it turned out during the conversation, most adults have no idea at all about the subject of the conversation, and the words and terms sound like curse words to them.

Later, one of them admitted to me that he felt quite uncomfortable, “like a loser” near the board, and asked me to explain to him “on my fingers” what was what, so that, if possible, he could show off his knowledge. This topic seemed interesting to me, and I decided to talk to you today about how to place your website on the Internet, as well as other opportunities provided by the hosting provider.

Access codes

A person who has decided to create his own blog first of all cares about what it will be filled with. You can create the material yourself or entrust this task to specially trained people who will write on your behalf everything you want, take into account your preferences and recommendations, and all you have to do is make it all public. Website content is called a buzzword "content", and the better and more interesting it is, the more popular your site will become.

But material collected and archived on your computer will not find life on the Internet until it is publicly accessible. It is clear that your personal machine cannot cope with this task. It's time to ask for help hosting provider– a company that, for a fee, will host your creation on its server and provide free access to it for the period specified in the contract.

In this article I will focus on issues such as:

  • Site structure
  • Registration on hosting
  • Account Management
  • Adding your website to hosting,

and others, without which the topic of the article will remain unsolved. So, let's go!

Home page

The main page of the hosting gives a clear idea of ​​the structure and allows you to familiarize yourself with the main sections.

This is where our “journey” begins. There is a “Questions and Answers” ​​section in the upper right corner; I strongly recommend that you look into it as needed; many problems will disappear on their own.

Hosting

The first section is called "Hosting", it gives an idea of ​​the cost of the provider’s services; everyone can choose the most convenient tariff for themselves. In the description of the tariff, you should pay attention not only to the cost of services (it is more profitable to pay for an annual subscription at once than to make monthly payments), but also to the amount of memory/number of sites that can be placed on the provided space, and the number of databases.

By the way, hosting personal pages, forums and galleries will cost less than hosting for 1c-Bitrix (online stores, online portals, sites with high traffic and a large amount of information), but here the hosting owners guarantee the creation of three backup copies in case of failure and priority support. Naturally, the amount of space to work is disproportionate.

Website builder

A good tool for beginners, a section that will allow you to create your own website without involving third-party developers.

This coin has 2 sides: ready-made templates are designed specifically for a specific site structure, you yourself determine what you want to get in the end - a business card website or an online store, after which you work in the form provided. But in order to make an interesting, unique, memorable and, most importantly, understandable and convenient website, you will have to fork out money and order it externally. The pleasure is not cheap, but the original work is visible to the naked eye.

I would like to separately note that hosting gives you the opportunity to evaluate the usability of your new creation for 30 days - free test mode for a whole month!

Domain name

Button "domains" will allow you to go to the section where the name of your site is registered, a sort of registry office department.

An indispensable condition is the uniqueness of the name. You can check whether the domain name you have chosen is available by typing its name in the line.

Please note that the domain RU, the most popular, has the lowest price, you will pay only for its use 150 rubles, while the least popular AERO will cost 4,444 rubles. Don’t spare your imagination, come up with a succinct, sonorous and original name for your site that will be remembered by users and is not yet occupied on the Internet, and you’re done! But just don’t overdo it, sometimes you come across such strange site names that you won’t be able to pronounce them or understand what they relate to.

A separate business is the purchase and sale of domain names. For example, you have imagination - God forbid everyone, you find a good example for a site name and you manage to buy a domain for it RU or RF, but you don’t have a website, and what’s more, you don’t even plan to create one, you can reserve a good name and then resell it.

Personal server

If you prefer independence, hosting will give you this opportunity, you just need to pay for the service vps/vds hosting. And that’s it, you are your own director! You regulate the ability and speed of work, and figure out the software yourself. But this is perhaps for advanced guys, not for beginners.

Comparativearithmetic

A very smart step, in my opinion, is to provide the opportunity to compare all hosting services in order to make the best decision.

Eh, I wish I could do this!

In order for the site to work, it is not enough to simply upload prepared materials. I’ll tell you how to fill them later, but for now I’ll dwell a little on such a concept as "site engine".

WordPress installation , one of the most popular and convenient engines, requires:

We will not stand behind the price!

Why I like hosting timeweb, so this is a variety of tariffs. In reality, prices are presented in a wide range, everyone can choose according to their needs and not overpay a penny. We are also pleased with the large number of payment methods:

Instant payment:

  • YaD () – no commission;
  • – with a small commission of 0.8%;
  • with Visa or MasterCard cards - no commission;
  • through Eleksnet terminals – no commission is charged;
  • Novoplat terminals – overpayment for services up to 4%;
  • payment service is the most predatory option, since they charge up to 10% for services.

Individuals can pay the receipt at Sberbank;

Individual entrepreneurs and legal entities can receive an invoice for non-cash payment at a bank.

Your right

As with any other resource, registration is required on hosting. Registered users are authorized to enter the site; the login and password are sent by the hosting administration to the email address you specified.

You may suspect me of being overly suspicious and even paranoid, but the information for logging into your personal account is best kept a big secret, best of all, not even on your hard drive, but certainly not in a letter. This letter should be erased from the computer as quickly as possible so that no traces remain. A personal website is a tasty morsel; there may be hunters for other people’s property. However, if the hunters set themselves a serious goal, it is unlikely that they will be stopped. Take, for example, the situation with the LitMir electronic library. The site “passed” to new owners right before the New Year and nothing can be done except spoil the little things.

Don’t be lazy, every time at the end of a work session, log out of your personal account and make a new one every time. entrance to the website. Security is never too much.

When filling out the registration form on the site, you will see a window that says “ partner code" If you were invited to hosting by a person, you have the opportunity to return the favor by indicating their personal promo code. Hosting will give him additional bonuses.

Summing up

If we sum up everything that was written above, we get my personal review about the work of timeweb hosting.

I have been using hosting services for quite a long time and do not plan to change it to another. For me, timeweb is a convenient platform for work, with a clear interface, detailed FAQ and a friendly atmosphere for little money.

What is strange for me personally is the negative comments on the Internet. One gets the feeling that they are written to order, they are written so uniformly and sparsely (or implausibly). From the hosting site http://timeweb.com
