Domains of the SU zone, which represents a non-existent country for a long time, were of absolutely no interest to cybersquatters, organizations and entrepreneurs, and it is understandable in general why:
- Unreasonably high price for the dead zone, because a year ago the domains in this zone cost almost 3,000 rubles a year.
- The popularity of the zone RU in the territory of the Russian Federation, because for many people in our country the Internet is the phrase “site dot ru”
- Unpleasant associations in some phrases, take at least the English word pos
The situation changed a bit in December last year, when the price of SU fell to a minimum of 600 rubles (now even less if taken in bulk). At the end of December 2007 came the peak of registrations. However, it subsided, the number of registrations fell. Although the amount of registered domains is growing from month to month. I recommend to get acquainted with the statistics on
stat.webnames.ru . Even today, in this zone you can find premium domains, or three-letter spacing characters.
The number of registrations is growing, many companies pay attention to this zone - it’s easier to register a domain for 600 rubles in the SU zone than to buy an interesting meaningful domain for the company for big money in the RU zone.

With all this splendor, until recently there was a danger that ICANN cancels the SU zone and all invested funds will be thrown to the wind - after all, this zone was not supported by anything from the point of view of law. And now
information has been
received on transferring the zone to the “exclusively reserved list”.
Information in the domain community was perceived ambiguously: someone still insists that this is a hopeless zone and investing money in this zone is unjustified. Someone says the opposite that it is necessary to disassemble the remaining 3-alphabells and premium four.
I hold the opinion that the zone is interesting and the “super-domains” in this zone in 3-4 years will sell at the price of today's triples in the ru zone, which as we know already (almost) is left. The
Cyrillic Russian Federation , the creation of which was supported by the president himself, will not interfere with this.
