securety.by.ru was a Nizhny Novgorod website of the KPP-team studio, hosted in the free subdomain zone of the BY.RU service and positioning itself as a "securety consalting & web дизайн" [security consulting & web design] platform for clients from Nizhny Novgorod[1]. In the nn.ru directory the site was listed under the name "Официальный веб сайт KPP-team securety consalting & web дизайн. Н.Новгород" [Official website of KPP-team securety consalting & web design. N.Novgorod], and its English description stated directly: "Based in N.Novgorod, RU, KPP-team provide a full range of securety services & web desagn to customer in N.Novgorod" — that is, the studio itself claimed a Residence Registration in both the Russian and English versions of the text, with the same characteristic misspellings of the word "security" in both[1].

What the site looked like and what it offered

The earliest surviving snapshot, dated 22 November 2002, captures the home page with the bilingual heading "KPP-team - Security consulting & web site design & data management all this in one place - N.Novgorod". As the home page stated, the studio offered "security consulting N.Novgorod, безопасность, Н.Новгород, хостинг" [security, Nizhny Novgorod, hosting], as well as domain name registration and web design services, listed in a separate block: "domain names, domain names uk, web design uk, uk web hosting, graphic design uk, web applications, web site design"[1]. The page listed contact details: phone and fax "+007 8 9034356" and the email address sales@zigmynd.net[1]. The same snapshot contains brief mentions of "Nerf.ru" and "Mafia" — judging by the context, these were elements of an adjacent block of links or affiliated projects, but what exactly they were cannot be determined from the surviving text of the snapshot[1].

Place in the Nizhny Novgorod internet

The Counter.nn.ru entry for securety.by.ru records a rating of 21.0 with 0 votes — both figures come from the counter's own card, but no surviving snapshot of the site itself confirms or explains them. The mere presence of the site in the nn.ru directory, where it was described in a separate bilingual entry, indicates that the KPP-team studio was trying to establish a presence in the Nizhny Novgorod segment of the network, but the material contains no further details about the site's traffic or any discussion of it in other sources beyond the counter itself.

How it closed

The next surviving snapshot — from 3 November 2005 — shows not the site's own home page but a service message from the BY.RU hosting provider: "Вы запросили страницу сайта «securety.by.ru», который не обновлялся слишком давно, был посчитан устаревшим и перенёсен в архив. Последняя редакция сайта произошла 513 дня назад: 8-го июня 2004-го года" [You have requested the page of the site "securety.by.ru", which has not been updated for too long, was deemed outdated, and moved to the archive. The site's last update occurred 513 days ago: on 8 June 2004][2]. In other words, the studio itself had stopped updating the site no later than June 2004, and by the autumn of 2005 BY.RU's automated system had already taken it off active hosting, offering visitors a general directory of the hosting provider's categories instead of the site's content — ranging from "Хостинг, Веб-дизайн, Регистрация доменов" [Hosting, Web Design, Domain Registration] to "Туризм и отдых" [Tourism and Recreation] and "Связь" [Communications][2]. What became of the securety.by.ru domain after that is unknown from the available data — the last snapshot of its content in the web archive is dated 3 November 2005 and already relates to the service archiving page, not to the site itself.
