Country Code

Overview

Delegated in 1994, .ru is the country code of the Russian Federation and one of the largest country extensions worldwide, holding approximately 5.4 million registrations. The Coordination Center for TLD RU administers it. Applicants are accepted regardless of location, although identity verification may be required before a domain becomes active. Scale here reflects the size of the domestic internet user base rather than any international appeal — the namespace serves Russia's own web ecosystem almost exclusively.
