By SU, let's talk about. SU
Today, the “old man .SU” celebrates its 21st birthday: September 19, 1990, the UNIX User Association (SUUG - Soviet UNIX User's Group) registered the .SU top-level domain for use in the USSR. About a year later, the Soviet Union ceased to exist, but the .SU domain remained alive and became the basis for the formation of the Russian Internet community. The domain zone is "growing up" quite successfully: while maintaining the current growth rate by the end of the year .SU will overcome the bar of 100,000 registered names.
In 1994, registration in this domain zone was suspended in connection with the opening of the .RU domain. Only in 2002, the new administrator of the Internet Development Fund zone renewed registration. In 2006, the international organization ICANN considered closing the domain, but in the end it was decided to assign .SU the status of exclusively reserved, which guarantees its preservation. By the way, the same status is assigned to the domain zone of the European Union .EU and the domain zone of Great Britain .UK.
Today, the total number of domains registered in .SU exceeds 97.4 thousand, of which:
IDN domains (domain names containing characters of the national alphabet) - 13.6 thousand
two-character - 1.5 thousand
three-character - 9 thousand
numeric - more 700.
In 2011, the increase in the number of registered domain names amounted to more than 5.5 thousand (the growth of the .SU registration market was more than 6.0%). It is worth noting that more than 50% of registered domains are domains with an age of up to 2 years.

Not many people know that in the .SU zone there are single-character IDN domains. Formally, they are not considered single-character, because after being translated into punycode, they become six-character:

The secondary market for domain names also does not forget about the .SU domain. So, for example, the top zone by e-mail of the administrator is headed by domain@goncharuk.su, which owns more than 5 thousand domains (which makes up more than 5% of the total number of registered domains), most of them are sold according to information on the stub sites. And on the open spaces of the network you can see such cases as the sex.su domain with a price tag of $ 6,000.
In 1994, registration in this domain zone was suspended in connection with the opening of the .RU domain. Only in 2002, the new administrator of the Internet Development Fund zone renewed registration.
