General information about the Domains product

Domains in the .ru or .рф zones are available in Selectel. You can register a new domain or transfer an existing domain from another registrar.

You can manage domains in the service, for example, edit administrator details, change the administrator, or delegate a domain.

The product supports user types and roles and projects.

Records of domain operations are saved in audit logs.

How it works

Domain registration is leasing the right to use a domain name for a registration period.

When registering a domain, an administrator (the domain owner) is specified for it. The domain administrator can be an individual or an organization. Information about the registered domain and its administrator is stored in the domain name registry of the Coordination Center for TLD .RU/.РФ.

To manage domain resource records, you can use Selectel DNS hosting.

Domain life stages

Registration stage

Starts when you register a domain.
For domains in the .ru and .рф zones, it lasts one year.

The domain belongs to you; during the last 60 days of the period, the option to renew the domain becomes available

Preferential renewal stage

This stage begins immediately after the registration period ends if you have not renewed the domain.
For domains in the .ru and .рф zones, it lasts 30 days.

The domain still belongs to you, but is no longer delegated. Any actions with the domain are prohibited, except for renewal

Domain deletion

The domain is deleted if you do not renew it before the end of the preferential renewal stage.

After deletion, domain resource records will automatically stop working, administrator information will be cleared, and the domain will become available for registration to anyone. You can register the domain again if it is not yet taken

Documents

Domain registration in Selectel is regulated by the .RU/.РФ Coordination Center based on the following documents:

Cost

Depending on the balance type in the account, payment is made from the unified balance or primary balance.

When a domain is registered, the fee for the first registration period—one year—is deducted from the balance. If you transfer a domain to Selectel from another registrar, the transfer cost is deducted from the balance, and the remaining registration period continues.

Auto-renewal is enabled for the domain by default — the fee for the next registration period is automatically deducted from the balance 60 days before the registration period ends. You can disable auto-renewal and, if necessary, renew the domain manually.

You can check domain registration, transfer, and renewal prices on selectel.ru.
