Frequently asked questions
What is ccTLD .РФ?
And what is the difference between it and site name in ccTLD .RU?
Domain is an address by which a company or a person can be found on the Internet. Most often under domain name one understands a Web site address in the Internet. The country code top level domain .РФ provides an opportunity to put down a Web site address not in the Latin script (for example, ejik.ru), but in Russian (for instance, ёжик.рф).
To write a domain name in Russian is a simple exercise: even a person who doesn’t know a foreign language and for whom the Latin script is an uncharted territory will write down or memorize the address of a Web site at once vis-à-vis domain names in Latin. Facts speak for themselves: in order to remember a Cyrillic domain name a person requires less than a second, while in the case of the Latin script this is a time-consuming exercise.
Thus, a Cyrillic domain name in ccTLD .РФ provides a chance for reaching out to one’s compatriots in the native tongue.

Why do I need a domain in ccTLD .РФ?
For one thing, it is the abbreviation for the Russian Federation. As ccTLD .РФ is Russian national domain: current and potential counterparts will appreciate a company having a domain name in this domain space. What can be better for one’s unambiguous territory-wise identification?
As ccTLD .RU until quite recently had been the only official domain of the Russian Federation and has operated for 20 years, practically all the best stakes in the domain have been already driven.
Buying an attractive domain “on the secondary market” often is a very expensive deal and in most cases, economically, does not make sense. Domain name in ccTLD .РФ is a chance to finally obtain a succinct name for one’s Web site, thus drawing in more visitors.
As of today, there are over 80 000 registered trade marks in Russian. The possibility for registration of the domain name adequate to the trade mark directly depends on the time of registration: the sooner application for registration of Cyrillic domain will be submitted, the more chances one has to obtain the desired domain name.

Will my counterparts be able to get to my site?

Русские буквы в названии домена — это просто: даже не знающий иностранного языка и не знакомый с употреблением латиницы человек запишет или запомнит адрес такого сайта с первого раза, в отличие от латинских названий доменов. Факты говорят за себя: чтобы запомнить название сайта на кириллице, человеку требуется менее секунды, в случае же с латинскими буквами этот показатель возрастает в разы.
Таким образом, кириллическое имя сайта в пространстве .РФ — это возможность обращения к собственной аудитории на более понятном языке.
