The Coordination Center for TLD RU announced that  .РФ is celebrating its first anniversary.  On 11 November 2010,domain name registrations in domain  .РФ  became accessible .

Here is the announcement :

“The Cyrillic domain .РФ to celebrate its first anniversary: a year ago, on this very day of 11 November 2010, domain names registration in domain .РФ became accessible for all comers. Domain .РФ already boasts of 923,770 registered domain names.

As of today, registration of 94% of domain names registered during the Sunrise period has been extended. The outcome of extension of the domains registered on the 1st day of the open registration is also impressive:  the launch of the open registration of IDN TLD .РФ made history with 207,648 domain names registered on the first day and 48%, i.e. 99,192 domain names, already extended. It is too premature to speak about the final number footing of extension of domain names registered in November 2010, as the Terms and conditions of domain names registration provide for a 30 day-long preferential domain names extension period. Prior to expiry of the preferential period the right to submit an application for extension of a domain name is granted solely to its former administrator. This means that the final tally of extension of domain names registered in November 2010 will become available only in December 2011.

Today, not only are Cyrillic domains registered steadily but they  found themselves rather actively used: 68% of the overall number of registered domain names has been successfully delegated, i.e. their information is placed with DNS servers of the top-level domain, which is a mandatory condition for domain names’ functioning.   As many as 25.4% of registered domains hosts unique sites and another 9.6% of the domains are used to redirect already to existing sites. By the number of registered domain names.РФ is 15th biggest European national domain, ahead of national domains of the Czech Republic, Ukraine, Norway and Montenegro. “

There are 927,019 .РФ domain name registrations up to date .
