Why would they start charging? I have 2 working domains with them...
I didnt say they will, I said they maybe will
About .com.kg domains... Whan they were free some crazy persons registered ALL 3 and I think 4 letter ones. Their service became very slow, it was ABUSED, so they desided to become paid.
The same thing is going to be with .com.ru domains
They will be abused by freewebspace members (
(just joking, of couse not only freewebspace members)
And the main rule, I think is:
"Want to keep free domains?- Dont tell anybody about them!"

The thing is .com.ru's aren't so easy to get. Most of the people can't get through the account registration process.
Yes, thats right. But still too many applications novadays. Do you know they process apps manually?
BTW, from their TOS:
"Foreign organizations can register domains in .RU, .COM.RU, .NET.RU, .ORG.RU and .PP.RU zones, acting both as administrators and payers. Such organizations can fail to have their offices in Russia and can use services of non-Russian providers."
FOREGN ORGANISATIONS, not individuals. And illegal registration is always illegal. You can lose it anytime...
It will be the terrible day when they decide to clean up their database
And they will.Originally posted by GRiN
Do you happen to be one of the guys from RIPN?
Seriously, it will be a very big database they'll have to clear out.
No I am not, I am a guy from Biz.ly
I just wish people to be more reasonable. (Its difficult to find few fraud regs among many legal ones, but its easy to find many fraud among few legal)
I had to pay for my .com.kg domains and I dont want to pay for .com.ru's either
Every 12 months on the anniversary of the delegation of the domain the RIPN does a dns check to see if the domain is active on nameservers. If the domain passes the check it is re-registered to the applicant automatically. If the domain fails the applicant has 21 days to activate the domain on suitable nameservers. After 21 days the domain is deleted if non-compliance is detected.

yes, and if the domain is not active (dns info is not correct) you will get 100's of error messages from RIPN during that 21 days (one per each 3 hours, I think)
This statement is incorrect.
You only recieve repeated "error" messages when changing nameservers and then when the domain's SOA does not appear on the proposed servers.
With the process of automatic renewal there is one check done. If this check does not comply with the information given, an email is sent making the applicant aware that they have 21 days to correct the fault and to resubmit the domain with corrections, otherwise the domain is deleted after the alloted period.
