"Hey guys, I've heard that you can get a free .ru domain through rucenter, but I'm not sure about the T&Cs. Has anyone tried it and had good experiences? Link would be appreciated"
I'm pretty sure the only free domains are in the .ru zone, and even that's not always free, but more like free for the first year with some registrars. If you're looking for alternatives, there are some cheap options like .biz and .info, but .com is still king, sadly not free
"Hey guys, I'm actually looking for a .ru domain myself, anyone know if .com.ru is a legitimate alternative or just a way to milk more money? Can't find much info on it."
"yo, I'm not sure about those free domains in com.ru and net.ru zones, but I do know they're not really recognized globally. Anyone tried using them for business or serious websites? My 2 cents, wouldn't recommend for anything that needs international reach"
"Hey guys, I think it's worth noting that com.ru and net.ru are not actually part of the standard .ru domain registry. They're actually separate TLDs (top-level domains) that offer their own free domain schemes for new users. Anyone tried them out?"
