The .RU domain zone is the country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) assigned to the Russian Federation. As one of the largest national domain zones in the world, .RU encompasses over 6 million registered domain names, making it a cornerstone of the Russian-language internet. WebTrackly provides the complete .RU zone file — a comprehensive, daily-updated database of every active domain registered under the .RU extension.

The .RU Domain Zone at a Glance

Launched in 1994, the .RU ccTLD has grown into one of the most populated domain zones globally. With over 6,031,876 registered domains, it serves as the primary online identity for millions of Russian businesses, organizations, and individuals. The .RU zone is managed by the Coordination Center for TLD RU and administered by the Technical Center of Internet (TCI), with domain registrations handled through ICANN-accredited registrars.

The Russian internet — often referred to as the Runet — represents a vast and distinct digital ecosystem. The .RU zone anchors this ecosystem, hosting everything from major e-commerce platforms and government portals to local small business websites and media outlets. Understanding this zone provides a window into one of the world's most active and dynamic online markets.
