.com.ru Domain Registration — What You Get
.com.ru is a third-level zone inside Russia's .ru country code, delegated on 7 April 1994 and run today through the .ru registry system: the Coordination Center for TLD RU sets policy, the Technical Center of Internet (TCI) operates the registry, and RU-CENTER — the historic administrator of these third-level zones — remains a principal registrar channel alongside other accredited registrars.
What you are buying is the com label under the same registry machinery as .ru itself: one-year registration terms, DNSSEC on the zone, and identity data recorded for the registry. the .com label under .ru is the classic commercial third level, used by Russian businesses and by Indian exporters who want a familiar .com shape with local credibility.
The honest note for 2026: since 1 September 2026 Russia ties .ru-family registrations and renewals to its ESIA government identity system for residents, and industry reporting (July 2026) says unverified non-Russian holders keep domains only until expiry. Write to our desk before ordering and we will confirm what applies to a new Indian registration that week.
Who Can Register a .com.ru Domain Name
The registry's published terms have no citizenship or residence requirement, and international registrars sell these zones to foreign individuals and companies — registrars record identity details for the registry instead. The practical gate in 2026 is the ESIA verification context above, not an outright ban.
Third-level .ru names carry a 60-day transfer/lock rule, and contact-detail changes beyond phone, fax or email require documentation.
- No Russian citizenship or residence in the published terms; identity data is recorded for the registry.
- 2026 ESIA context applies to registrations and renewals — our desk confirms current practice before filing.
- First completed order wins: a name is not held while you decide.
What a .com.ru Domain Is Used For
These zones serve the Russian-speaking internet and the India-Russia trade corridor: the .com label under .ru is the classic commercial third level, used by Russian businesses and by Indian exporters who want a familiar .com shape with local credibility.
Indian pharma exporters, tea and commodity traders, and engineering firms serving Russia or the CIS hold .ru-family names for local credibility; some hold them defensively around trademarks.
Third-level spellings are also the budget route: ₹493 a year against the premium .ru.com second-level zone at ₹31,346.

.com.ru Renewal, Transfer and Expiry Rules
Registry rules fix every term at one year, and a renewal can only be placed during the 60 days before expiry — which is why auto-renew matters more here than almost anywhere.
Transfers use the registry's registrar-change procedure: the losing registrar issues a transfer code, the application is filed at least 7 days before expiry, you confirm within 5 days, and a 30-day lock applies after transfer-in. WebJi lists .com.ru transfers at ₹493, filed by our support desk.
The public WHOIS does not publish private individuals' personal data under Russian personal-data rules; company names and tax IDs show through the registry's WHOIS+ service.
.com.ru vs .com and .in for an Indian Business
The extension is not a ranking factor — content and links decide placement. Choose by audience: .com.ru and the .ru family for Russia-facing trade, .com for a global brand, .in when Indian identity is the point.
- .com.ru — third-level .ru zone, ₹493 a year, one-year terms.
- .ru — the plain country code, same registry and ₹493 a year at WebJi.
- .ru.com — the premium CentralNic second level, ₹31,346 a year, no registry paperwork.
- .com — global default, ₹1,380/year, renewal ₹1,480.
- .in — Indian identity, ₹1,000/year.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a .com.ru domain cost in India?
WebJi lists .com.ru at ₹493 a year for registration and ₹621 for renewal, read on 4 November 2026 and before 18% GST. Registry rules fix every term at one year, so renewal is a yearly event at ₹621.
Can foreigners register a .com.ru domain?
The registry's published terms have no citizenship or residence requirement, and international registrars sell these zones to foreign registrants. Since September 2026 Russia ties .ru-family registrations and renewals to its ESIA identity system for residents, so write to our support desk first and we will confirm what applies to a new Indian registration.
Why is a .com.ru domain registered for only one year?
The Coordination Center's rules register .ru-family names for one year, with renewals in one-year steps — and a renewal can only be placed during the 60 days before expiry. Auto-renew matters here more than almost anywhere.
Why does a .com.ru renewal cost more than the first year?
The first year is often priced lower than the renewal band. On this page that is ₹493 registration against ₹621 renewal, both read on 4 November 2026 and before 18% GST.
How do I transfer a .com.ru domain to WebJi®?
.ru-family transfers use the registry's registrar-change procedure: the losing registrar issues a transfer code, we file the application at least 7 days before expiry, and you confirm within 5 days, with a 30-day lock after transfer-in. WebJi lists .com.ru transfers at ₹493, handled by our support desk.
What happens if my .com.ru domain expires?
Because renewals are only accepted in the 60 days before expiry, a lapse is harder to cure than in gTLDs — the name suspends and the registry's deletion path begins. Auto-renew avoids the situation entirely.
