.su Lives On, Stronger Than Ever

Posted by timothy on from the c-c-c-i-p dept.

CWRUisTakingMyMoney writes "Yahoo! Finance has a story about the defunct Soviet Union's .su TLD. 'Sixteen years after the superpower's collapse, Web sites ending in the Soviet ".su" domain name have been rising — registrations increased 45 percent this year alone. Bloggers, entrepreneurs and die-hard communists are all part of a small but growing online community resisting repeated efforts to extinguish the online Soviet outpost.'"

    Nic.ru seems to be the main site. nic.tld is often the place to go at least for info on a TLD.

    Their service agreement form allows you to specify you're a US citizen as well as to choose to pay in US Dollars. They're charging 600 rubles/year for a domain, which is currently US$25.51.
