It/’s easy. Please drop a message to our support team.
Payments questions: sales@mastak.ru
Technical support: support@mastak.ru


1.2 How reliable and safe is your server? Where is it located physically?

Our 10 servers (Dual P3-8001 GB RAM18-36 GB Ultra-160 HDD) are dedicated Unix servers connected to backbones in Russia (MTU, TeleRoss and M9 channels, total capacity is more than 200 Mb) and USA (AT&T channels, 100 Mb).

We never allow our servers to use more than 30% of their capacity, assuring that our systems are never overloaded. We have an uninterruptible power supply and monitoring. We provide daily backups.


How much does it cost to register a domain name with Mastak.ru? Who is the top-level domain registrar you work with?

Please check up our prices here
The top-level domain registrars we cooperate with are RIPN (.ru domains) and TUCOWS.COM INC (.net, .org and .com domains).
1.4 I have looked through your site attentively. All it seems to be OK. I have got everything but the point, how much I have to pay?

Please fill out the form of the order. You/’ll receive detailed report.
In general, total sum of hosting payment consists of three parts:
1. Cost of domain.
2. Cost of initial installations.
3. Cost of hosting.

1. Cost of domain
The base price of the domain in COMNETORG zones is for 2 years.
The priceof domain registration in RU zone is per year.
If you buy standard or large server for half a year, we give the discount on registration of the domain ( and accordingly).

2. Cost of initial installations
[#tsk_summary#] for shareware programmers and for others.

3. Cost of hosting

Cost of hosting for shareware programmers (per month):
The Small Server 5Ì = [#tsk_summary#] (for three months)
The Small Server Plus 10Ì =
The Standard Server 50Ì =
The Large Server 100Ì =

For others:
The Small Server 5Ì =
The Small Server Plus 10Ì =
The Standard Server 50Ì =
The Large Server 100Ì =


Example 1:
Special offer for shareware programers, COM domain + standard hosting for 6 months: (domain) + 6 (months) * (standard server for shareware programers for 1 month) = 5

Example 2:
Special offer not for shareware programers, COM domain + standard hosting for 6 months: (domain) + (initial installations) + 6 (months) * (standard server for 1 month) = 0

Example 3:
COM domain plus one month of hosting of the small server (not for shareware programers): (domain) + (initial installations) + (small server 5Ì the server) =
