The number of second-level domain names, registered in the .ru zone (www.name.ru) grew by 60.78% in 2006 compared with 2005, exceeding 718,236, the RU-Center regional net information center, the largest registrar of Russia domains, informed.
This shows record growth since the .ru zone was formed, Andrei Vorobyov, the RU Center's public relations director, said.
"This impressive growth was due to vigorous development of the IT branch in Russia and, secondly, due to the .ru domain's traditional popularity with Russian users," he said. |
