Now it is possible to open sites in it, the first of which is nic.yandex . It is already working, but for now this is a draft version, which we will continue to improve.

We want to immediately answer some questions:

• We are going to use the .yandex zone for our own needs - i.e. for Yandex and affiliated organizations. Domains will not be sold in it.
• We hope that soon our first services will appear there.
• Technically, the zone is supported by NeuStar , which has a lot of experience in this - in particular, they support the .biz, .tel, .us and others zones.

Recall that ICANN approved the application for .yandex just over a year ago. All the details about what exactly will be in this domain zone and when, we will tell a little later.
