The registry of ru-domains reports, that the number of domain names registered in Russia's national domain, the ru-domains, has increased 19.82% in the first half of 2004 to 256.356 ru-domains.
Ru-Center compares this to the growth of 2003, which was 16.02% for the first half of 2003.
The increase among ru-domains in Russia is coincident with the rising numbers of Russian Internet users.
Ru-Center explains, that the weekly users numbered 5.9 million June 2004 , 1.4 million more than one year earlier.
The number of Russian Internet users is expanding 30% a year.
ICANN accredited registrar Secura is accepting registrations of ru-domains by non-russian enterprises and private people.
According to the experience of this registrar, the ru-domains owned by foreign registrants is growing rapidly (https://www.domainregistry.de/ru-domain.html).
