Yesterday at noon new gTLDs .MOSCOW and .МОСКВА have entered general availability phase. Earlier during Sunrise and Landrush periods large international and Russian brands (Gucci, Rolex, McDonalds, Vinzavod, Invitro and others) have registered domain names in the capital’s zones. Also more than 2.5 thousand names will be transferred to Moscow authorities. They will use them to create official city resources.
And now anyone can create his or her own webpage in the domain zones of the Russian capital. Registration fee in the new domain zones .MOSCOW and .МОСКВА. is around 600 rubles per year.
Marina Nikerova, senior deputy director at Technical Center of Internet, congratulated administrator of domains .MOSCOW and .МОСКВА - Foundation for Assistance for Internet Technologies and Infrastructure Development – with this event: “We congratulate our colleagues with the start of open registration in domains .МОСКВА and .MOSCOW. This is probably the most important step that will determine zone’s popularity and success. Domains for the Russian capital mark a significant trend – London, New York, Paris, Berlin and many other large cities in the world got their domain zones as well. We wish domains .МОСКВА and .MOSCOW prosperity and sustainable growth.”
