History[edit | edit source]

RU-CENTER was founded in 2000, at the beginning of the formation of a distributed domain name registration in Russia. The progenitor of the RU-CENTER was the Russian Institute for Public Networks,[5] an organization that supported the origins of Internet technologies in Russia. Today, the company supports more than 3 million domain names, and serves as the registrar for more than 30% of .ru domains, 60% of .su domains, and 60% of .pФ domains. They have an extensive partner network, with more than 6,000 partners in Russia and abroad.[6]

From 2010 to 2011, under the New gTLD Program, RU-CENTER initiated the introduction of the domains .moscow/.москва[7] for the needs of the Russian capital, as well as domains for the cultural and linguistic communities represented in the country (project RUCLID).[8] The idea of creating a domain for Moscow's cultural and linguistic communities has become the first Russian start-up planned under the New gTLD Program.

In November 2010, RU-CENTER was ordered by The Russian Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) to return $8.5 million, earned through the illegal auction of .rf domains. RU-CENTER was accused of selling .rf domains without having the permission to do so, according to the laws of Russia for domain auction.[9] The trial is still continuing.
