Shared or dedicated trustee for your .RU or .SU domain?

A portfolio can have a main business address, a second extension and names held for future projects. You can choose a different trustee plan for each domain. Base includes a shared trustee; Private Identity gives your account a dedicated trustee, while Full Bulletproof includes that dedicated trustee plus abuse protection within your service agreement.

Start with what each name is for. The cheapest arrangement may suit a spare address, while you may want a dedicated registration identity behind the name you put on invoices and share with customers.

Decide which names need a dedicated identity

Shared trustee service uses a registration identity shared with other customers. It keeps the annual cost at $50 for .RU or $75 for .SU, with basic support included. You still use your own xUID account to manage the domain and its nameservers.

Private Identity is our protected identity option. It reserves a trustee identity for your account instead of using the shared Base arrangement. Choose it for the names where that separation matters to you. The annual total is $550 for .RU or $825 for .SU.

Write down that choice before buying. Base domains cannot move to a paid protection plan after registration. A name you expect to use for a long-term business needs the decision now, even if the website will launch later.

Price the portfolio, not just the first name

These examples use retail prices in USD. Each total covers one year and uses the same fees at annual renewal.

Example order	Annual total	What you get
Two .RU names and one .SU, all on Base	$175	Shared trustee service for all three names
One .RU on Private Identity and one .SU on Base	$625	A dedicated trustee for the .RU registration; shared trustee for .SU
One .RU on Full Bulletproof and one .SU on Base	$8,125	Dedicated trustee and agreed abuse protection for .RU; shared trustee for .SU

The second example works out as $50 for the .RU registration, $500 for its dedicated trustee plan, and $75 for the .SU name. Both domains stay in one customer account. They can use the same hosting provider or different ones.

These are examples of mixed plans, not discounted bundles. If you register names for clients, use the tier shown in your reseller account to calculate registration costs. Protection fees remain separate.

Choose complaint handling for the domain that needs it

A dedicated trustee separates the registration identity from the shared arrangement. Handling abuse complaints is an additional service included with Full Bulletproof, alongside priority support, within your service agreement.

For a publication or business that expects complaints, select Full Bulletproof for the relevant domain before registration. Its $8,000 annual add-on already includes a dedicated trustee. You do not add the Private Identity fee again, and buying protection for one name does not add it to the rest of the portfolio.

The domain protection guide covers support, API access and the rules for changes after purchase. If you already have a Private Identity domain, ask support to assess any move to Full Bulletproof before planning around it.

Keep renewals and hosting in the budget

Domain fees are annual; hosting is a separate purchase. A trustee plan does not provide the server that holds your website. Keep the hosting you already use, or compare xUID hosting if the project needs it.

Before paying, check every name’s extension, plan and annual total. Keep access to the account email and enough time to fund upcoming renewals. The trustee service comparison shows the plans together when you are ready to choose.
