FAQ

.ru pricing
How much does a .ru domain cost?
Right now the cheapest verified first-year price for a .ru domain is $2.92 at Openprovider, and the cheapest verified renewal is $3.14 per year at Channel Island Hosting. First-year promo prices usually apply once — always check the renewal before you commit.
Why is the .ru renewal price different from the first-year price?
Registrars discount the first year to win customers, then charge the regular rate from year two. On .ru the steepest step-up on today's board is ×6.2 — that gap is exactly why Domain.Guru always prints the renewal beside the promo.
What is the cheapest way to keep a .ru domain for 5 years?
The lowest verified 5-year total today is $15.70 via Channel Island Hosting — first year $3.14, then $3.14 per year, ICANN fees included where they apply. Our default ranking sorts by the same formula, computed over 3 years.
Can I transfer a .ru domain to a cheaper registrar?
Yes — a transfer usually includes a 1-year extension. The cheapest independently published .ru transfer right now is $2.92 at Openprovider. Domains must typically be 60+ days old and unlocked, with a transfer code from the current registrar.
