RU-CENTER — Russia's leading registrar and hosting provider, the largest registrar for domains RU, SU, РФ. The company provides a full range of registration services and domain names support.
RU-CENTER was founded in 2000, at the beginning of the formation of a distributed domain name registration in Russia. The progenitor of RU-CENTER was the Russian Institute for Public Networks [1] - an organization that stood at the origins of the Internet technologies in Russia. RU-CENTER - one of the oldest domain registrars in the country. Today the company supports more than 3 million of domain names, serves as the registrar for more than 30% of domains .RU, 60% of domains .SU and 60% of domains .РФ.
RU-CENTER has an extensive partner network - the company has over 6 000 partners in Russia and abroad. As the market leader, RU-CENTER launched Russia's first auction services (2007) and domain names parking (2008). In 2010 – 2011 under the New gTLD Program RU-CENTER has initiated the introduction of the domains .MOSCOW / .МОСКВА[2] for the needs of the Russian capital, as well as domains for the cultural and linguistic communities represented in the country (project RUCLID [3]). The ideas of creating a domain for Moscow's cultural and linguistic communities have become the first Russian start-up planned under the New gTLD Program.
