FirstVDS review

A .com registration costs RUB 2,450 for the first year, quoted in roubles. The same figure applies when the name renews, so the cost of holding the domain in the first period and in later periods is identical. Budget for a single rate rather than a low opening year that steps up later.

Renewal is RUB 2,450, which matches the first-year price exactly. A domain bought today therefore costs the same at every renewal, with no step up once the first period ends. That makes long-term budgeting simpler than at registrars whose renewal figure sits well above their opening one.

The extension list holds 10 options. That covers the endings most registrations need, but it is a short list rather than a full registry catalogue. Buyers chasing an unusual country code or a newer suffix should check that the extension is offered before ordering.

Support runs on email, chat and phone. A registrant can work through a help-centre article, send an email, start a chat or call, depending on the problem. Several channels matter most when a transfer or a nameserver change has to be handled in a hurry.

The service is run by AO IOT, with its base in Russia. Both details matter for buyers who need a named counterparty behind a domain purchase and a clear picture of which country the operation sits in. Prices on the domain page are quoted in roubles to match.

It depends on the currency you pay in. A .com first year lists at RUB 2,450 here, $12.51 at VPS.org, ZAR 289 at Afrihost and CLP 16,900 at Host Chile. A direct price comparison only means something once those figures are put on a common currency.

Prices are published in roubles and the operation is based in Russia. A buyer elsewhere will see a converted figure at checkout, and the rate applied can shift the final total. Anyone on a tight budget should check the conversion before completing the order.
