The .NET.RU domain zone was created in 1998 and represents a third-level domain for the registration of second-level domains under the .RU zone. The .NET.RU domain serves as an alternative option within the .RU zone and can be used in cases where registering a domain name directly under .RU is not possible.

The administration of the .NET.RU domain zone is handled by the company "Relcom Group."

Registration of domains in the .NET.RU zone is available to any individuals or legal entities without restrictions based on geographical location. Domains under .NET.RU can be used for various purposes, including creating websites, email services, and other internet-based applications. To register a domain under the .NET.RU zone, one must contact any of the registrars accredited to operate within this zone.
