.ru registration
.ru is Russia’s country-code domain extension, suited to businesses, organizations, and individuals addressing Russian audiences. Registration is open to applicants from any country, with available names allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. A label must contain between 2 and 63 characters. The registry requires details based on the holder’s legal form. Individuals must provide an identity document number and date of birth. Russian legal entities must supply their 10-digit TIN and 9-digit KPP. Legal entities registered outside Russia do not have these specific mandatory fields, although the registry may request additional information to identify the holder or verify compliance. .ru names use Latin characters. To register a domain written in Cyrillic script, choose the .рф extension instead. This distinction helps projects select the namespace that best matches how their audience searches, reads, and types the address. To transfer a .ru domain to host.yt, first remove any transfer protection and request the authorization code from the current provider. Submit that code with the transfer order. Processing may take several days, and the domain’s existing expiration date remains unchanged. For a change of holder, contact host.yt for the applicable ownership-transfer procedure.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .ru extension stand for?
ru is the country-code domain extension associated with Russia. It gives a website a clear connection to the Russian market and is commonly suited to businesses, organizations, services, and individuals that want an address recognizable to Russian audiences.
Who can register a .ru domain?
Individuals and legal entities from Russia or other countries can register a .ru domain. Names are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, provided the requested label is available and the holder supplies the information required for their registrant type.
Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .ru?
Individuals must provide an ID or passport number and their date of birth. Russian legal entities must provide a 10-digit TIN and a 9-digit KPP. Foreign legal entities have no equivalent mandatory values, though additional verification information may be requested. Domain labels must contain 2–63 characters.
Is .ru a good choice, and what projects suit it?
ru is a practical choice for projects aimed primarily at people in Russia, including local businesses, regional services, publications, and community websites. It signals a Russian market focus. Projects requiring a Cyrillic-script domain should use .рф instead, because .ru names use Latin characters.
When does .ru make more sense than .com?
Choose .ru when Russian market relevance is more important than a globally neutral identity. It gives local visitors a clearer geographic signal. Choose .com when the project targets several countries under one international address. A business may also register both and direct users to its primary site.
How quickly is a .ru domain registered, and how long does it last?
Registration can proceed after the name’s availability and the holder’s required details have been confirmed. Available names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. The applicable registration term and renewal details are presented with the order, allowing the holder to plan renewal before the domain expires.
How do I transfer a .ru domain to host.yt?
Disable transfer protection for the domain, obtain its authorization code from the current provider, and submit the transfer through host.yt. The process may take several days. Transferring does not change the domain’s existing expiration date, so review its renewal status separately before starting.
