Назад В .su

Filed under: | Geek Stuff | РУССКИЕ ДЕЛА

Talk about nostalgia! When most countries die, they lose their top-level domain. Not so with the Soviet Union; their .su domain still exists...and registrations have gone up 45% in the last year alone.
Sure enough, it’s ripe ground for cybersquatting:

Vladimir Khramov, a network administrator from Moscow, said he bought “microsoft.su” last year simply to acquire an easy-to-remember ending for his e-mail address.
While Khramov insists he “did not buy it for reselling,” others are out to make a quick ruble. Yan Balayan registered a number of high-profile addresses, including “ussr.su,” “stalin.su” and “kgb.su”—he’s asking for $30,000 each, but stands ready to haggle.

I’ll bet Comrades Marx and Ulianov are spinning in their graves...at very high RPM mind you.
