A comment on .su.

If anyone is interested, registering a domain is $29.99/year and requires the submission of an identity document (passport, driver's license, etc).

Curious to know, but where can I buy one, and what registrars offer .su? Seems entirely absent in my usual haunt where I go to get obscure TLDs:

There is however the following you can get on OVH which are similar:

    .sucks
    .supplies
    .supply
    .support
    .surgery

Not sure about western registrars, but https://www.nic.ru/ sells them for 590 roubles (~9.2$ || 7.4£)

gandi.net offers them, though they're significantly more expensive than what has been mentioned in this thread already.

Requires the submission of an identity document number (which isn't verified), not a copy of an identity document. Big difference.

Where did you find a price like that? I own one and I pay like 3$ a year. However ID indeed is required.

I pay 30$ a year. Where did you get 3$ a year exactly?!

Well. Even reg.ru / nic.ru (budget unfriendly Russian registrars) charge less than 10$ per year.

Personally I use Naunet (yet another NIC) re-seller (former nn.gdmd.ru which was acquired by ru.gogolev.net).

I'm also paying 25$ per year on nic.ru, the price discrepancy is interesting.
