Yesterday it was exactly three years to the day that the Internet began operating the first Cyrillic domain zone. May 12, 2010 in the records of the global root server domain address was last added to the domain. Russian Federation, and fully earned the first sites with Cyrillic addresses.
Then, many people still do not have the idea of ??how it will operate the new domain zone and in what order should register domains. Federation. In addition, there were skeptics who predicted the imminent collapse of the Cyrillic domain. Now, three years later, we can say with confidence that their expectations are not met. Zone. Russian managed to find and occupy a niche in the domain name market and continues to thrive.
STATISTICS
According to statistics, now in the zone. Russian Federation about 790 000 active domain names. At the same time, nearly 30% of them have been registered less than a year ago. Only for April 2013 there were more than 14,500 new domain names, on average, the same day you receive about 300 new domains.
These statistical service Stat.reg.ru.
Today
domain. Russian Federation with a serious far ahead of any IDN-world domains (domains, which are used when writing the characters and the different states). Next on the list -. ?? (China) behind. Russian Federation more than 500,000 domain names (in the area registered about 285,000 domains).
According to the statistics, the dynamics of the blast zone. Russian Federation remains positive, and despite the fact that the initial hype around Cyrillic domains has already passed. Russian Federation is not in a hurry to lose their positions.
situation around the new top-level domain
Due to the success of the domain. Russian Federation and the start of the program New gTLD, aimed at increasing the number of new top-level domains, the Russian organization first thought about the possible continuation of the “Russification” of the Internet, and have applied for the new Cyrillic domain zone.
recently in the New gTLD Program International Corp. on Internet Governance (ICANN) approved the new domain zone. RUS,. WEBSITE. COM,. CHILDREN. MOSCOW and. ONLINE, applications for which were submitted by various Russian companies and organizations. Terms of delegation of domain zones have not been determined, but it is known that it will not happen until June 2013.
With the advent of the information on the Web, in RuNet began arguing about whether the new top-level domains to compete with already earned the trust of users domain. Russian Federation.
In fact, most of these zones has a clear target orientation. For example, the domain. CHILDREN will be in demand among the creators of children’s issues sites (online stores, forums, entertainment and educational portals), and zone. MOSCOW perfect for the capital’s online resources.
is worth noting that according to experts, the most promising of the stated domain zones are. RUS,. MOSCOW and. ONLINE that, for sure, will be very popular among people because of their versatility.
main competitor zone. Russian Federation is a Cyrillic domain. RUS, which is marketed by the applicants in the first place, as a tool for off-line advertising. But the area. RUS yet to win credibility with the people, while the national domain zone. Russian has long been an integral part of the Russian Internet space. In the zone. Russian Federation are online resources on various subjects, from corporate websites of companies to websites of public authorities, in addition, more than three years of domains in this area are widely used in information and promotional purposes. Blast zone. RUS is difficult to name a serious competitor. Russian Federation, but time will tell if she can achieve the same success as the first Russian Cyrillic domain.
In any case, there is no doubt that the emergence of new Cyrillic domain zones have a positive impact on the further development of Runet, which will offer an increasing variety of opportunities for resource managers, and for Internet users.
future development zone. RF
Despite the fact that the domain zone. Russia has long been self-sufficient and no longer in need of additional support, it still can not match the performance with the band. RU (at this point in the area. RU are more than 4.5 million domains). Of course, primarily due to the fact that the zone. RF appeared only after 16 years zone. RU.
But besides that, continues to exist a number of technological barriers to the development of the national Cyrillic domain. So, for example, now is still not fully debugged system functioning e-mail address in a domain. Russian Federation.
On the possibility of the establishment and operation of electronic addresses such as “ivanov@domen.rf” until we can speak only in the long term. But today with existing addresses of the form “ivanov@domen.rf” also have difficulties. Sending letters to these addresses can only be through the services and Yandex.Mail Pochta@Mail.ru. Other popular e-mail systems and services, such as Outlook and Gmail, do not recognize Cyrillic addresses.
In early April, the domain administrator. Russian Federation Coordination Center for TLD RU (CC) turned to Microsoft and Facebook with a request to provide support for Cyrillic mail addresses for the domain. Russian Federation, and the company has promised to make the necessary changes in the performance of their email services. Moreover, such applications KC plans to send to Google, Twitter, Samsung and Apple.
Today, the main condition for the success of the zone. Russian Federation is to overcome all existing technological limitations and further development of its infrastructure. In this case the domain. Russian Federation will continue to hold a leading position among the IDN-domains. After all, the undeniable advantages of Cyrillic domain names, such as the convenience of their writing and memorizing – is appreciated and the site owners, and the Russian-speaking Internet audience.
