Registration and use of domains at ccTLD registry
Registry
Which entity is responsible for registration of domain
names in the country code top-level domain (ccTLD)?
The administration authority (registry) for the ccTLD .ru (and
for the Cyrillic .ρφ) is a non-profit organisation, ANO
Coordination Center for TLD RU (the Coordinator). It ensures the
reliable and stable DNS infrastructure operation of the Russian
internet sector. The Coordinator accredits domain registrars
(private companies), which provide commercial services -
registration and maintenance of domain names - to registrants. In
this connection, the Coordinator performs functions targeted at
control of the activities of local registrars. Similar functions
have been given to the Russian Fund of Internet Development, which
is both a watchdog and another registry of the .su domain and
related registration proceedings.
