.su registration
.su is the domain extension originally created for the Soviet Union. It remains in use by individuals, organizations, cultural projects, archives, and businesses with a connection to the region, its history, or Russian-speaking audiences. Names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, and labels may contain between 3 and 63 characters. Registration details depend on the holder’s legal form. Individuals from any country must provide an identity document number and date of birth. Legal entities registered in Russia must supply a 10-digit TIN and a 9-digit KPP. Companies registered elsewhere do not have these specific required values. The registry may request further information to identify the holder or verify compliance with its rules. .su supports Cyrillic domain names using Russian letters, including ё. This makes the extension suitable for projects that need a locally recognizable web address in Cyrillic as well as for names written with Latin characters. Related regional choices include .ru and .рф, but .su has a distinct historical identity. To transfer an existing .su domain to host.yt, remove any transfer protection at the current registrar and request the authorization code. Submit that code with the transfer order. Processing can take several days, and the transfer does not change the domain’s existing expiration date. For a change of holder, contact host.yt for the applicable procedure and required information.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .su extension stand for?
su was originally assigned to the Soviet Union. It continues to operate as a domain extension and is now used by websites with historical, cultural, commercial, or community links to the former Soviet region, as well as projects aimed at Russian-speaking audiences.
Who can register a .su domain?
Individuals and legal entities may register .su domains. Individuals can be based in any country, and organizations may be registered in Russia or elsewhere. Registration is first come, first served, so an available name can be allocated once the required holder information is provided.
Are documents or additional details required to register .su?
Yes. Individuals must provide an identity document number, such as a passport or national ID number, plus their date of birth. Russian legal entities must provide a 10-digit TIN and a 9-digit KPP. The registry may request further information for identification or compliance checks.
Is .su a good choice, and what projects suit it?
su is a practical choice for historical archives, cultural initiatives, regional communities, and brands whose identity relates to the former Soviet area or Russian-speaking users. Its Cyrillic support also suits projects that want a domain written in Russian characters, including names containing ё.
When does .su make more sense than .com?
Choose .su when regional or historical identity is central to the project and immediately relevant to its audience. Choose .com for a broadly international commercial presence with a more familiar extension. The trade-off is distinct regional meaning with .su versus wider global recognition with .com.
How quickly is a .su domain registered, and how long does it last?
Registration follows a standard submission process and available names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Complete and accurate holder details help avoid validation delays. The applicable registration term is presented during the host.yt ordering process, before the registration request is submitted.
How do I transfer a .su domain to host.yt?
First disable transfer protection at your current registrar and obtain the domain’s authorization code. Enter that code when submitting the transfer to host.yt. The process may take several days. A successful transfer preserves the domain’s existing expiration date rather than extending or resetting it.
