About domain names. What to choose - foreign or Russian domain registrars

Description of the method for selecting domain registrars

The rating includes only accredited domain registrars in the ru and RF zones. The rating of registrars, as well as the reliability of this rating, is determined according to the Web Of Trust service. Company data is obtained from the Whois database. The data line is closed when the corresponding data has been closed to public access, for example, when the domain is owned by a private person.

Only those companies that, according to Web Of Trust, have an Excellent rating (score from 80 to 100) were selected for the rating. Next, only those companies were included that indicate on their websites the cost of domain registration and renewal. It should be noted that the Web Of Trust service also provides access to data on the reliability of the ratings it publishes; this parameter is also taken into account when determining the final parameter Quality/price. Its value is calculated in the same way as in the rating of Ukrainian domain registrars, with the only difference being that the cost of registering a domain in the ru zone for 1 year is used.

The calculated value of the Quality/price parameter allows you to approximately determine the best registrars at the time of rating recalculation.

Our site exists primarily through income received from user clicks through referral links. That is, if you follow links from our website to a hosting or domain registrar website and order services there, we receive a small commission from the hosting service provider or registrar. Thanks to these tools, we, in particular, can provide constant long-term monitoring of hosting and obtain data on uptime, which characterizes the reliability of hosting and is one of the main parameters in our ratings. Thanks for your support!

• - the parameter meets the recommended values ​​or is the best among others;
• - the parameter value is worse than recommended or the worst among others;
• - the parameter value is conditional and is assigned temporarily (see details in the explanation to the table).

Domain registrar – which one is better to choose? Before dealing with such a burning question, you will need to think about which zones are best for registering your own domain? As you know, quite a large number of them exist today - we will deal with the most common and popular ones.

RF zone

The advantages are obvious - you can register a Cyrillic domain, which is aimed exclusively at the Russian-speaking user. Domestic search engines are very fond of these kinds of domains, providing them with some kind of benefits and benefits. But are there any disadvantages?

Yes, Russian domain registrars that provide Russian names can make it very, very difficult to demonstrate the resource to foreign partners. These same domains will not always be familiar to all those who work on the Internet. A website, if it is designed for an American or European audience, is almost impossible to promote.

Zone RU

The most famous domains operate in this zone. Probably every local resident is familiar with it. This is the best option for those who create websites for Russian users. Excellent indexing not only by domestic, but also by foreign PS.

Of course, foreign domain registrars rarely provide the opportunity to register this kind of domain. It is also not recommended to register Russian and foreign versions of the same site at the same time. It is best for a European or American visitor to register a different domain - this way you will not mislead them.

But which domain registrar should you choose? Perhaps it's time to pay attention to the SU zone?

SU zone

The domain is perfect for anyone who wants to make their own website memorable - also for specific advertising campaigns, as well as thematic resources. The most interesting thing is that this zone was allocated by the world community back to Soviet Russia. The field of activity for specialists is simply huge. Russian domain registrars sell names from this zone at a higher price than those from the usual RU zone.

Of course, today there is no stopping talk about the fact that two zones allocated for Russia at once is a lot and SU needs to be abolished in the near future. To the horror of webmasters, this may well turn out to be true - after all, the Russian Federation zone has recently appeared on the Internet.

COM zone

If you are targeting foreign clients, there is nothing better than the COM zone. Direct association with online stores, as well as commercial sites. It is the one that is best suited for promoting a website in foreign search engines. Many foreign domain registrars provide special discounts on zones.

However, there is no good without a silver lining (to paraphrase a well-known saying). Often, unscrupulous buyers use this zone to register sites that are, in fact, information garbage. Creating a resource in such a zone is strictly not recommended if we are talking about creating a powerful and profitable website.

ORG zone

A domain registered in such a zone makes it clear to every visitor that he has reached the website of a company, holding, firm or corporation. The main drawback is that ORG is initially aimed at Western users. Moreover, domestic PSs are not very fond of this type of zone and difficulties may arise when promoting sites.

So, which domain registrar to choose is a purely personal matter. It is necessary to pay attention, first of all, to the price and prestige of the company.

Great, the first step has already been taken. Now you have to do the second thing: choose a name for your brainchild and register a domain. What does this mean, where can this be done? I remember asking myself these questions when I was very new. Let's figure it out.

What is a domain name?

In short, a “domain” or “domain name” is a symbolic representation of the address of your website. And now a little more detail:

There are large first-level domains on the Internet: .com, .ru, .su, .org, etc. The name of your site, what you have to come up with is a second-level domain, it is written to the left of the period, for example, copyrayter in the name of the site.

The set of all names included in a first-level domain is called a domain zone. Are you confused? Yes, with the concept of “domain” it’s really not that simple. But let’s dwell on the fact that calling the name of your website a domain is quite correct.

And I wrote even more about the domain.

Where to register a domain

In the article “” I already talked about this. In order for the site to be accessible on the network using the name you created, this name, or domain, must be registered, i.e. add it to the general database. Domain registration is carried out by special organizations - domain registrars and their partners. Surely you are interested - the registrar of this blog is . I register my sites only here.

There are many services available on the Internet where you can register a domain, as well as use various services for creating and promoting websites. What services are usually offered to us?

• domain verification and registration, transfer of an existing one;
• website hosting;
• registration of SSL certificates;
• Additional services

Let's take a very brief look at these services - we will use them as a starting point when choosing the best registrar.

Registration

The site name must be unique, so you need to check if the name you choose is available. All registrar sites implement this check: enter your name, and they will show you whether it is busy or not.

If the domain is free, you can register it. The cost of registering domains on different services varies, sometimes quite significantly. Please note that registration must be renewed every year. The cost of renewal also varies.

Hosting

Your website files must be physically located on some server; Providing the service of hosting and maintaining your website on the company’s servers is called hosting. Registrar companies usually provide a choice of several tariff plans, differing in the amount of disk space provided, the number of supported sites, and of course, price.

SSL certificates

If you plan to post or receive data on your website that needs protection (for example, personal user data), you need to obtain digital SSL certificates that provide reliable encryption of information. You probably saw in the address bar of some sites not http, but https or a green padlock? If you haven’t seen it, take a look at my blog address. This is just an indicator that the site provides data encryption. Registrar sites provide the opportunity to select and purchase an SSL certificate.

Other services

Registrars compete with each other, and accordingly try to attract clients with various additional services. What services can you get?

• , with which you can do website building yourself;
• website promotion - will help you rank high in search engine results;
• transfer of maintenance of an already registered domain to 2domains.ru;
• selection of domains, their “parking” (if you do not yet plan to create a website on the purchased domain), redirection, auto-configuration and other operations with domains.

Well, we know what we need to do, what services we can get. Let's now have a little competition. We will review 11 registrar sites and select the best of them.

We will pay attention to prices and tariffs, what services and in what volume can be obtained from them, and ease of use, or “usability,” of sites.

The Russian domain name registrar was founded 10 years ago and is an accredited official domain name registrar. Serves more than 2 million domains, including this blog.

The first thing we see when entering the site is the domain name selection form. Enter the word in Russian or English that you want to see in the site name, for example, the name of your company, and it will select the corresponding domain names in the 14 most popular domain zones and show whether they are free or not. Here you can immediately buy the name you like.

Domains

In total, you can register in 755 zones. Well, you are unlikely to need exotic zones in other countries, and prices for domains in the most popular domain zones (.ru, .рф) start from 199 rubles. When purchasing a domain, you are provided with 2 months of hosting as a gift and an SSL certificate; when purchasing several domains, there is a system of discounts. Very favorable conditions, right?

Tariff plans for the provision of hosting services reg.ru are divided into four groups:

1. Unlimited – from 199 rub. per month for one site, while providing unlimited disk space, number of databases and traffic;
2. Classic – from 99 rub. per month (Host-Lite tariff – 5GB of disk space, 10 sites), up to 389 rub. (Host-3 tariff – 10GB, 30 sites, 4 domain names as a gift);
3. VIP – from 479 rub. up to 1199 rub. VIP tariffs differ from “Classic” tariffs in that they have more powerful server disks, a larger number of dedicated resources, and are suitable for highly loaded projects.
4. Hosting specially optimized for the popular CMS system (environment for developing and maintaining a website, “engine”) 1C-Bitrix - from 240 rubles. There are also tariffs for hosting optimized for other CMS, such as WordPress (from 149 rubles), Joomla (from 119 rubles) and others.

When purchasing hosting services for 3 months or more, a discount of up to 35% is provided.

The company offers SSL certificates at prices starting from 1,499 rubles. per year, with the purchase of most hosting plans the certificate is provided free of charge.

On one of my sites I installed a free SSL certificate just from Reg.ru. Everything is clear, easy and simple.

As for additional services: there are many of them, and here are some of them:

• Website builders, templates and ready-made solutions for various CMS, there is even a ready-made online store (not free, from 590 rubles per month).
• Forwarding, parking, other actions with domains, a domain store - you can buy there a name already registered by someone and put up for sale (yes, you can make money on the Internet that way).
• Server rental – if you have a large project, you can rent an individual server in a data center for it. This pleasure, of course, is not cheap: from 6675 rubles. per month. You are unlikely to need this service in the near future, but you never know...
• Various services: promotion, site monitoring (a system that allows you to monitor the health and performance of a site), several security systems, cloud services (we won’t even go into detail about what this is).

The design of the reg.ru website is very attractive due to the presence of large blocks, the absence of flickering and the ease of finding the necessary information. On such a site, even a beginner will find it easy to figure out where to go and what to do. Usability is excellent.

– partner of reg.ru. Having entered this site, we immediately see a list of tariffs for domain registration. Enter your name in the box in the header of the 2domains.ru website, and you will immediately see the result - whether the domain is free or not. Fast and convenient, right?

Domains

If the domain is free, you can register it immediately. The cost of registering one domain in the zone.ru or.рф is 99 rubles, which is a very good offer. The cost of renewing registration in zone.ru for the second year is 449 rubles. The more domains you register, the lower the price.

Hosting services

2domains offers tariff plans:

1. Unlimited (224 RUR for 1 site);
2. Classic (RUB 124-799 depending on the disk space provided, the number of possible sites, etc.).

On 2domains.ru you can select and buy an SSL certificate. Prices – from 2340 rub.

Other services

The site offers many additional services, their list practically coincides with the list of reg.ru services.

The site design is a little colorful, but all the necessary information is quickly available: in the right side bar there is a convenient structured menu. In general, a very worthy official registrar.

The site has a very discreet design. Using the top menu, convenient navigation through the service is organized; there are no distracting elements. All prices are in dollars.

Domains

The price for domain registration is from $1.49 (95 rubles) in zone.ru (on promotion at the time of writing the review). The name can be checked in the “Domains” menu by checking the desired zones. When purchasing a domain, one month of hosting is offered as a gift.

Hosting

Offers 4 tariff plans:

1. Domain (50MB, 1 website) - $1 (64 rubles) per month;
2. Initial (1000MB, 5 sites) – $2 (128 rubles);
3. Advanced (4000MB, 10 sites) – $4 (256 rubles);
4. Special (8000MB, unlimited number of sites) – $7 (449 RUR)

What other services does rdn.name offer?

• SSL certificates – from $15 (962 rubles) per year;
• Dedicated servers – from $47 (RUR 3,015) per year;
• Software licenses for server management;
• Installing popular CMS on the site

Everything here is quite concise, the choice is small, which is generally an advantage for a beginner, and the prices are very attractive.

The Russian domain name registrar is one of the oldest registrars: the company was founded in 2000.

Domains

The cost of registration in zone.ru is 500 rubles. Is it too much compared to the companies already reviewed? However, webnames.ru offers for clients who have already purchased or transferred a certain number of domains, or whose account turnover has reached a certain amount, various profitable service plans, including domain registration from 100 rubles.

Hosting

1. Classic tariffs - from 139 rubles. per month (118 rubles when paid annually) up to 410 rubles. (RUR 349)
2. Special rates for CMS. Also from 139 rub.

SSL certificates from 1,230 rubles, with the opportunity to test the certificate for a month for free.

Additional services

There are quite a lot of services:

• Various operations with domains, including an auction - you can put your domain up for sale and buy the one you like;
• Server rental;
• Security systems;
• Legal support

Regarding the usability of the site: not everything is good. There is a drop-down menu that keeps trying to close, and navigating through it is not very convenient.

What can I say in general? The tariff policy is clearly not designed for beginners.

Unlike previous registrars, it sells domains in only three zones.

Both registration and renewal of domains in zones.ru and.рф cost 199 rubles, in zones.su – 350 rubles.

There are several services for servers:

• Administration
• DNS server – special servers for converting a domain name into an address;
• Backup;
• New generation special IP addresses

That, in general, is all that can be obtained on this site. Hosting and services for the site are not provided here. Renting servers – apparently, doesn’t work either; when you go to this menu item, we see the inscription “Coming soon...”

The site design is simple and clear, but is it worth registering here? Unlikely, to be honest. After all, then you will have to link the domain name to the hosting where you will be served. It's easier to do everything in one place.

– hosting registrar with a full range of functions.

Domains

On nic.ru you can register in more than 200 domain zones. At the time of writing this review, there was a promotion going on - the price for purchasing a domain in zone.ru was 189 rubles. The basic tariff for registration in zones.ru and.rf is 590 rubles, and renewal is 890. Think...

Hosting

Nic.ru offers two tariff options:

1. Standard solutions – from 149 rub. per month, hosting for CMS – from 369 rubles;
2. High-load projects – from 869 rub. up to 2589 rub.

SSL certificates are available. Cost from 3600 rub. in year.

Additional services

The registrar provides many services:

• Domain maintenance, operations with them, including a domain store;
• Website builder, various CMS;
• Support, monitoring, website promotion;
• Special offers, service packages, promotions

The site is quite convenient to use, although the somewhat faded color scheme and not very well-thought-out menu somewhat spoil the impression. In general - not bad.

The company registers domains in 422 zones. It doesn’t do it cheaply: .ru i.rf – 590 rubles. No promotions found, only discount up to 40% for regular customers.

In addition to registration, on reggi.ru you can purchase an SSL certificate costing from 2450 rubles. for a year, and of course transfer the domain.

There is probably nothing more to say about this service. The design is nice, navigation is simple and convenient. All.

The company is part of the masterhost.ru group of companies and registers domains in the zones .ru, .рф and .su.

Domains

Tariffs for domains at mastername.ru are as follows:

1. in zone.ru – 595 rub. registration, 413 rub. extension;
2. .rf – 490 rub. and 350 rubles;
3. .su – 602 and 602 rubles.

For partners, which can be legal entities and individual entrepreneurs, prices start from 91 rubles. To receive such discounts, you must register in the affiliate program and have a certain number of domains under management. Again, not for beginners...

The remaining services are related to domain maintenance. mastername.ru does not provide hosting, but this service can be obtained on a partner site masterhost.ru.

• Hosting tariffs start from 200 rubles. for 1 website and unlimited disk space;
• In addition, there is a “Designer” tariff, in which the user can choose the set of required parameters;
• An SSL certificate can be obtained for RUB 1,523. in year,
• There are server rental services, software rental services, and special package offers.
• There you can also register a domain in many zones; registration in the zones.ru, .рф and.su is carried out through ru (as an accredited registrar) with the same prices.

Navigation on both sites is convenient, although the design of mastername.ru is too contrasting, but the information is found quite quickly. However, it makes no sense for a beginner to register on mastername.ru, given the prices and lack of hosting.

The next service is a reseller of the registrar r01.ru.

Domains

Domain registration in 18 zones, in zone.ru registration – 99 rubles, renewal – 175 rubles. Participants of affiliate programs and wholesale buyers receive additional discounts.

reghouse.ru services become visible only after user registration - a rather original solution. Without it, you can only read about the tariffs, and information about hosting is given at the end of the page on which prices are listed.

After registration - entering all your data, including passport data - you will be able to log in to the control panel. Here you can buy domains and order hosting, the rates are as follows:

1. Mini (3000MB, 6 sites): 195 rub.
2. Maxi (7000MB, 12 sites): 395 rub.
3. Ultra (12000MB, 24 sites): 595 rub.

We could not find any other available services. Well, reghouse.ru’s prices are very attractive, but the interface for interacting with the client is not very friendly, and it’s difficult to understand.

Let's go to . Here is a familiar and convenient design. You can check your domain name right away.

Domains
The service offers registration in more than 3,000 zones. Surely you didn’t even suspect that there were so many domain zones.

The cost of registration in zone.ru is 450 rubles.

Hosting

101domain.ru offers an interesting solution - single hosting without restrictions on disk space and the number of sites for 500 rubles. per month.

In addition, a website builder is provided at different rates - from free to 1000 rubles. per month.

SSL certificates – from 3385 rub. in year.

Everything is clear with this registrar: it is suitable for those who need to register many domains in different domain zones.

The last one on our list is the registrar.

Domains

On the main page it says “85 rub. per domain,” however, this tariff is valid for service partners when transferring more than 100 domains. In fact, the cost of domains in the zones.ru and.рф is 590 rubles.

Hosting

The following hosting rates apply:

1. Mini (3000MB, 6 sites): 210 RUR, if paid for 12 months. – 162.5 rub.
2. Maxi (7000MB, 12 sites): 330 RUR, if paid for 12 months. – 262.5 rub.
3. Ultra (12000MB, 24 sites): 510 rubles, if paid for 12 months. – 407.5 rub.

Additional services:

• Domain maintenance – parking, domain auction
• Package services, affiliate program

The site design is quite average, but the navigation is quite simple and convenient. The main page provides all the necessary information about prices for domains and hosting, so you can immediately make a choice. The pricing policy is clearly not for beginners.

How to find out the domain name registrar of someone else's website

If you need to find out the registrar of some other person’s site, then it’s not difficult. Let's define my recorder. You can find out this in many places; almost all website analysis services will tell you this. Let's go to the service Xtool and we'll find out everything. If you happen to, I recommend registering - a very useful site. Enter the name and look at the indicators:

Go down and select the Whois tab. There's a lot more you can learn here.

A correctly selected domain name plays a significant role in website promotion. It attracts visitors and helps increase brand awareness. Some beautiful domains are valued at hundreds of dollars.We discussed the meaning of a domain and its functions in detail in the article

In this article we will look at:

How to buy a domain (general scheme)

What additional options are there from registrars?

The best recorders with features of each of them

Buying a domain name

A domain is registered for a period of one year; after its expiration, the domain name must be renewed. An organization that has the right to register new names and renew existing ones is called domain registrar.
Domain registration is the same on all services that provide this opportunity, the differences are minor.

To do this you need to take the following steps:

1. Register on the website that provides the service.
After registration, you will receive access to your personal account, which allows you to manage the purchased domain (renew it, etc.).

2. The second step is to select one of the domain zones available on the resource and check if the domain is occupied.
For this purpose, each registrar has a special service.You need to enter the selected site name, as well as the zone, into a special window and start the verification procedure. The search results window will show the occupancy of the domain.

3. Next, the domain is purchased.
The first time you decide to register a domain, you will be asked to fill out the information necessary to purchase the domain (full name, address, and passport details).When renewing a domain or purchasing a new one, this will no longer be required.

At the end of the procedure, you will be offered a list of additional services. These services are not mandatory; you need to decide which ones you need and which ones you will simply refuse.

An expanded range of services offered by the registrar may consist of the following items:
- Mail
- SSL certificate
- Offer hosting for your website
- Proposal to use the designer to create a website
- Possibility of automatic domain renewal after a year

It's up to you to decide which services you need and which you don't.

An important issue is the reliability of the registrar

It is better to choose companies that are accredited domain registrars; they have the right to make entries in the domain registry; you will be sure that the purchased domain is actually registered in your name.

The rest of the registrars are simply partners and resellers. It is common for such companies to register a domain in their name. If problems arise, you will not be able to prove ownership of your site.

Registering a domain now, while there are free domains, will be the right decision. We advise you to use the services of these leading services:

Reg.ru

All of them are not only accredited domain registrars in the Russian segment, but also accredited by the international organization ICANN, which gives them the right to record names in international domain zones.

The decision is up to you - look, study, choose!

If you want to become the owner of your website without having experience in this matter

One option is to transfer/entrust all the work to professional designers, layout designers and programmers - this can make it easier for you to start.

However, there always comes a time when you want to make changes to the site or conduct a series of tests and changes, or want to understand in more detail how to optimize certain processes.

And in this case, it will be impossible for you to control the quality of the work performed, to adequately navigate the volume of your improvements, the degree of their complexity and, accordingly, their real cost.

Even after learning in practice the very basics of the HTML language, you will begin to see the site in a completely new way, enrich your vocabulary with terms from the world of layout and programming. You will begin to ask professionals completely different questions and your website will truly become an asset for you that brings in money, and not a liability that you are not happy with, but you don’t want to give up - after all, so much money has already been invested.

Without the basics of programming, it is quite difficult to understand current trends in new technologies, not to mention applying them in everyday life.

If you are just starting your journey in web programming, we recommend starting with layout - this course with interactive tasks (write code directly in the browser and instantly get an answer - true or false) and tests. This format allows you to competently practice your skills in practice, for which our students appreciate it.

More often than not, the one who is not taken seriously wins.

Issues of global regulation of domain names are managed by the international organization ICANN. It does not register names for end clients and does not deal with country codes. ICANN delegates the rights to regulate domain zones to local coordinators and accredits registrars in the zones .com, .net, .org, .info and some others (full list by).

Coordinator of the entire RuNet

In Russia, for the .RU and .РФ domains, the coordinator is the ANO “Coordination Center for the National Internet Domain”. This non-profit organization is constantly improving the rules for registering domain names (with the participation of the registrar committee) and the regulations on the accreditation of registrars, and also actively participates in the life of the Runet and develops the Cyrillic domain.RF. The main coordinator of Runet accredits registrars, processes complaints against them from clients, resolves complex issues related to domain names and negotiates new first-level domains (including Cyrillic) with ICANN. This organization also does not sell domain names to end customers. Users often confuse the company "Ru-Center" (now "Hosting Community") with the coordinator of the.RU and.RF zones. In fact, this company is just one of the registrars.

Registrars in RuNet

In Russia, at the time of writing, there are 44 accredited registrars that deal with the .RU and .РФ domains. Only a Russian legal entity that meets the strict requirements of the coordinator can receive accreditation. The current list of accredited registrars can be viewed at.

Foreign registrars

ICANN accredits registrars for the domains .aero, .asia, .biz, .cat, .com, .coop, .info, .jobs, .mobi, .museum, .name, .net, .org, .pro, . tel, .travel and .xxx. A complete list of accredited foreign companies is available at.

Who are resellers?

Companies that offer domain name registration services but are not accredited are considered resellers. They register domains through partnership agreements with accredited registrars. Reseller prices are usually lower and their marketing policies are more aggressive. However, their scope of responsibility is limited: some issues (for example, transferring a domain to another registrar/administrator) can only be resolved through the registrar itself. The reseller does not risk losing accreditation; there are no work regulations for him - there is only an agreement with the registrar. When working with such an organization, the end client is primarily deprived of guarantees, since the work of the reseller is not regulated in any way. However, even if the reseller ceases to exist, the client can contact the final registrar, where an account will be created for him with his domain names. The operation of the domain names themselves will not be disrupted.

What to look for when registering a domain?

Some resellers register domain names in their name and rent out the domain. Legally, the domain belongs to the person to whom it is registered, so if you want to transfer it to another hosting or sell it, the current owner will have the opportunity to earn extra money from you. You should also carefully monitor when the registration period ends and renew it on time. The registrar’s automation may fail and fail to renew the domain name even if the “auto-renewal” service is enabled and there is a sufficient amount in the account. We advise you to check for yourself whether the domain name has been renewed! If you miss the moment when a domain is released, cybersquatters may buy up the freed name and try to sell it for an order of magnitude more expensive. If you don't have a trademark associated with your domain, no court will help you.

Cyrillic domains

On May 12, 2010, an entry about the Cyrillic domain.РФ appeared in the registries of global domain addressing servers. Trademark owners, media outlets and organizations were the first to have the opportunity to register a domain. From November 11, 2010, everyone was able to register domains. At the time of writing, 790 thousand domain names are registered in the .RF zone. The prospects for the development of the RF zone are still somewhat vague. Cyrillic names are certainly more convenient to dictate, but many email programs and web services, even after three years, do not understand the Cyrillic alphabet. For now, buying domain names in the .RF zone only makes sense as an investment for the future.

Domain name cost

Domains.RU and .РФ for an accredited registrar cost 70 rubles excluding VAT (i.e. 82 rubles 60 kopecks with VAT) - he pays this amount to the coordinator. The end client can pay from 90 to 590 rubles - depending on the registrar and the volume of purchase. The profit of registrars in this business is not very high, so they often offer related services, for example, hosting, server rental, SSL certificates. In addition, the client has the opportunity to choose a free domain: usually a third level, for example, sub.domain.ru. There are many more free domains here, but serious organizations are better off forking out for a paid address. On the Internet, there is not much respect for organizations that host websites on third-level domains - besides, such an address turns out to be longer and more difficult to remember. Many hosting companies also offer . If the domain is registered to you, you do not risk anything.
