Domain (or domain name) is the name of a resource on the Internet, the address of the site to which visitors will come to it. The domain is unique and is necessary for any resource.
Which domain is better
Webmasters and resource owners often face the question of choosing a domain. The name largely determines the further performance of the resource, therefore it should be simple and memorable. But just choosing a domain is not enough. It should be registered. And then another question arises: which domain zone to choose for domain registration for your resource.
It is important to know that the domain zone is the letters in the domain name to the right up to the first dot. For example,.ru,.рф,.com. This means that a certain territory has its own domain zone.. Ru means that a resource registered in this zone can operate on the territory of the Russian Federation,.su - on the territory of the republics that were previously part of the USSR.
The.su domain zone was actively developing in the 80s. of the last century, then with the collapse of the Union, each republic assigned its own domain zone. Accordingly, the.ru and.su domain zones differ, first of all, by the territory, for the second domain it is much wider. The.su zone is older than the.ru zone.
Domains in.ru and.su zones also differ in price. If the purchase of a.ru domain will cost an average of 99-100 rubles, then.su - 320 rubles. Many experts believe that.su is better because the price justifies the quality. Others argue that the quality is the same, so you should not overpay if you are satisfied with the functioning of the site in the vastness of Russia.
. RU or. SU
When registering a domain, you may come across the fact that in the.ru domain zone the required name will already be taken, while in.su it will be free. According to statistics, there are much fewer free domain names in the.ru zone. To be fair, it should be noted that domains in the.su zone are indexed by Yandex and Google no worse than in the.su zone. Therefore, the latter is undeservedly forgotten. If the site is still aimed at a Russian-speaking audience, then.su is perfect. Moreover, there are no differences in the subject matter of sites registered in a particular zone. According to experienced webmasters, a decent quality project can be promoted in any zone, and it will function and generate income for the owner.
Simply,.ru is more familiar to Internet users, although.su is more likely to find a nice memorable name for your site. Perhaps the only drawback is the high cost of domain registration and renewal. On the other hand,.su has fewer different satellite sites created by black SEOs to promote the main site.
So.su is the oldest domain zone, but at the same time the most promising and uncluttered, so don't be afraid to purchase names for your sites there.
