The .SU domain is the national domain that belongs to the Soviet Union, as well as the subsequent post-Soviet space. In fact, this domain was created before the collapse of the USSR, but it has been actively used since 1991. For many potential users, such a domain of the USSR is a kind of nostalgia, and they will use it in the future to host their own resources. Below, we analyze the domain name and what you can do with a site on it.
The specifics of .SU domain registration today
In fact, today the .SU domain is under the direct management of the company “Internet Development Fund”. It does not belong to the category of geographical sites, because the country to which it was originally assigned has long ceased to exist. It cannot be found in the list of codes established by the ISO 3166-1 standard. Therefore, it does not fall under the definition of geographical domains, but the code has “reserved” status, which ensures that it will not be allocated for other needs.
Today, domains in the .SU zone are in demand; about twelve companies are accredited in Russia as registrars. Each such Registrar has its own partnership agreements with numerous commercial companies and individuals. The Fund does not have any agreements directly with companies, registrars. In addition, there is full support for the numerous second-level domain names under consideration, which were specifically registered by him directly before 01.10.2001. For this reason, it is recommended to register a SU domain, which can be done in just a few clicks.
Key features of .SU domains
The key features of .SU domain registration include the following:
- The domain name is available for purchase by both organizations and individuals. Recently, it has often been used to get a catchy site name.
- It is worth noting some change in the cost index, which took place in connection with the domain's anniversary in 2010. Back then, organizations were allowed to buy the .SU domain at a reduced price.
- When choosing a name, keep in mind that the possible length ranges from 3 to 63 characters — this is the minimum and maximum number that the user can choose. IDN domains are supported, which is the ideal solution for the organization and the company.
