I just found out about the official top-level Soviet Union domain that is still in use today!
It seems that since 2022 you can’t register new .su domain names and it’s future is uncertain. Still, I think it’s cool that it exsits to this day (:
A nice example would be that sovietwave internet radio: https://sovietwave.su/
Just a curiosity I wanted to share with me comrades
Why bother getting rid of it (other than political reasons)? If even one website is using it, getting rid of it would hurt them.
Also it bothers me that despite “.us” existing, the United States uses .com or .gov as to state that the US is the “standard”.
Why bother getting rid of it (other than political reasons)
They decided to get rid of it in 2022, so zero reasons except political, crackers are still salty about USSR + extreme russophobia
Unfortunately it might be phased out in 2030.
So what you’re saying is we need to bring the USSR back before 2030 to keep the domain. Got it.
Finally, a hard deadline
Let’s do it, tavarisch! 🫡
I always think about the way the internet would’ve developed if the Soviet Union kept existing
I think there would be less pop-ups! (;
But on a serious side, yeah, same…
I knew about the domain, but never knew a website that used it, and the one you linked is a Sovietwave one, cool!
There are a couple websites that use it. Others that come to mind are http://leningrad.su/ (no HTTPS) and https://sovnet.su/
Ik a website with this tld and it’s Onlyfans piracy site 😭
Is .yu still up for Yugoslavia tho?
Sadly it expired in 2010…
Can you let Ubiquiti know? Cause it doesn’t appear in their TLD list to block, even though it kept notifying me that my sons phone was periodically reaching out to a .su URL
What do you mean?
How does a domain become restricted?
There is a new policy for all country TLD’s that, when said country stops existing, that TLD will be phased out within 5-10 years.
