.ru Domain Registrations

The .ru domain extension is the official country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the Russian Federation, and one of the most heavily registered ccTLDs in the world. Managed by the Coordination Center for TLD RU, the .ru zone hosts millions of websites ranging from major Russian corporations and government agencies to small businesses, personal blogs, and international brands targeting the Russian-speaking market. A .ru domain is instantly recognised by Russian internet users and signals local relevance, credibility, and commitment to the Russian market. Whether you are a Russian business establishing your online identity or an international company expanding into Russia and the CIS region, a .ru domain is an essential part of your local digital strategy. The .ru domain extension supports both Latin and Cyrillic character sets, and Russia also operates the IDN equivalent .рф (Cyrillic script) for native-language web addresses.
