Global registrars that sell .ru in US dollars are the global option for a buyer in Russia, not a recommendation in it. ## Recommended in this country - Beget (https://www.best-domain-registrars.com/countries/russia/#local-registrars-read): Russian-language storefront, bills in RUB, sells .ru; on Coordination Center for TLD RU/РФ's accredited list, not tested by us (RUB 420.00 incl. VAT; RUB 199.00 first year) - R01 (https://www.best-domain-registrars.com/countries/russia/#local-registrars-read): Russian-language storefront, bills in RUB, sells .ru; on Coordination Center for TLD RU/РФ's accredited list, not tested by us (RUB 635.00 incl. VAT) ## Country facts - Country code: RU - Currency: RUB (Russian Ruble) - Popular ccTLDs: .ru, .рф - Local presence required: no - Payment notes: Russian registrars invoice in rubles. Cross-border card payments to and from Russia have been materially disrupted since 2022, which is a practical constraint on buying from either direction that has nothing to do with registry policy. Global registrars bill in USD for gTLDs. - Support languages: Russian-language support comes from Coordination Center accredited registrars. Every registrar we track supports English only. - Last checked: 2026-08-19 ## ccTLDs ### .ru Russia's country code, one of the largest ccTLD namespaces in the world. - Eligibility: Open on paper. No residency requirement for individuals or legal entities. Registrants must supply verifiable identification data; foreign legal entities not registered as Russian taxpayers give a tax or trade-register identifier. - Notes: The Coordination Center for TLD RU sets the terms and accredits the registrars. Inaccurate registrant information can lead to refusal at registration or cancellation afterwards. - Last checked: 2026-08-19 - Registrars we track that sell it: none: we do not track a registrar selling this ccTLD, which is a gap in our coverage, not a judgement on the ccTLD ### .рф Russia's Cyrillic internationalised ccTLD, administered alongside .ru. - Eligibility: Same terms as .ru, through the same accredited registrars. - Notes: Punycode .xn--p1ai. A separate delegation; holding .ru does not give you the Cyrillic name. - Last checked: 2026-08-19 - Registrars we track that sell it: none: we do not track a registrar selling this ccTLD, which is a gap in our coverage, not a judgement on the ccTLD ## Local registrars Named for completeness.
