Troubleshooting Common Issues #

Additional Notes: #

• No Transfer Lock for .RU Domains: Unlike some other TLDs, .RU domains do not have ICANN-mandated transfer restrictions but must follow RU-CENTER regulations.
• Timing: Start the transfer process well before the domain’s expiration to avoid service interruptions.
• Domain Restrictions: Russian domains may require additional documentation to validate registrant details.
