Not particularly popular extension…
.ru and .su domain names seem to be subject to restrictions when applying for some free SSL certificates.
What about renewal though?
And FSB raid on the house for free
The promotion code entered does not exist
FSB may raid if you have a .COM domain, as long as you're a citizen under their jurisdiction.
Back on topic: I don't see this as a particularly popular extension either (as @Levi mentioned) because I am not a citizen of Russia - but this offer could be important for someone living in Russia and offering services or goods in such locations.
I wouldn't buy
.rueven for €1.mdwould be nice thoughneed .miku
MJJs sniped it all as usual
DMCA ignor
Don't be sad. Be happy because they're happy - neighbours of that TLD.
sad, anyway thats why I only have .cf domains
Actually it's the opposite. Many commercial SSL certificate providers (Sectigo, PositiveSSL, RapidSSL, etc.) refuse to generate certificates for
.ruand.sudomains. Free providers such as Let's Encrypt works just fine, and free certs from Cloudflare work fine.The renewal price will be the default price listed.

Nothing of this promo or discount related is with War, this thread is not about that. Just to make it clear.

I had a domain hack in mind for some personal projects, but whatever.
Thanks, my memory is wrong.
Well, domain we can't be sure, since Russia is enforcing DMCA Laws, but our hosting is DMCA Ignored

However, for those who wants to know how it works with .ru for 1EUR here is

No wonder they enforce it for intellectual property of their legal entities, but what about European and USA?
Warning: They want full real data, incl. passport number!

So ~$5 ? Regery is way cheaper
Russians are currently paying for pirated Windows licenses, but the beneficiary is the Russian government in lieu of Microsoft. Domestically those licenses are considered valid.
@rustelekom can you confirm? I guess you have some of those licenses.
No idea about hosting.
FSB will definitely visit you if you own a .lgbt domain :-D
Anyone can register a .RU - there's no resident or citizenship required, so I don't understand why the site requires a passport number.
I'd be interested in this offer if passport info was removed & knowing what the renewal cost is (it didn't list it , but shows a $5.88 Euro price for registration
Something to do with the registry I think. I have seen the same requirements while purchasing an .ru domain from another registrar. I don't think they validate so any random string would work.
To be honest, no one in Russia is interested in your passport data, it's just that the registration procedure is such that it is mandatory to provide passport data when registering domains in the .ru zone. But you can specify non-real passport data, anyway it is not checked by anyone at the time of registration. But there may be problems if you want to transfer the domain to another registrar in the future.
It is indeed checked in registration, I don't want to name, but someone on LET had quite some issues 2 times getting a .ru
And even @AvaHosting went through some type of KYC since the domain is verified:

The verified status doesn't mean much. My account with the Russian registrar has the verified status on one domain, but the verified status is not on the other domain. Although both domains are in the same account, they have the same data
Just like in gTLD registrars, they ask you to provide real data and warn that if you provide fake data, you may have problems, and in Russia, but it is during domain registration that the data is not checked, because in order to verify it, you would need to upload a photo or scan of your passport - such a request during regular domain registration registrars don't.
They will just reject your domain until you KYC

This might be a case-by-case thing, as my .ru domains have been working fine without any sort of verification of the random passport number I typed.
Of course it is, but it's not like some people here are implying that it doesn't get checked. Check the WHOIS of your domain and you'll probably have the UNVERIFIED status.
