Domain life cycle

.RU, .SU and .РФ domain names are registered for 1-year period. The domain name renewal is not possible earlier than 60 days before the date indicated in Whois as "reg-till" (or "paid-till"), i.e. the date which the domain name has been paid for.

When "reg-till" date comes the domain name is undelegated and becomes available for renewal by the owner by "free-date" — the date when the domain name is released (Exception: domain names are not deleted on weekends, holidays and the next working day after them).
