.su
From Includipedia, the inclusionist encyclopedia
Template:Infobox Top level domain
.su was assigned as the country code top-level domain for the Soviet Union on September 19, 1990. 15 months later the Soviet Union ceased to exist. It remains in use today, even though the Soviet Union itself no longer exists, and is administered by the Russian Institute for Development of Public Networks.
In 2001, the managers of the domain stated that they will commence accepting new .su registrations, but it is unclear whether this action is compatible with ICANN policies. ICANN has expressed intentions to terminate the .su domain, and the IANA states that the domain is being phased out,[1] but lobbyists stated in September 2007 that they had started negotiations with ICANN on retaining the domain.[2]
New .su registrations cost 3000 rubles (approximately $125). Since December, 3 2007 it's discounted to 600 rubles (approximately $25).
