Cybersquatting means registering, trafficking in, or using popular domain names with the purpose of their further resale or ad placement. Persons practicing such a behavior are qualified as cybersquatters.

Cybersquatters willing to benefit from released domains grow in number each year. Domains are generally put for resale at inflated prices. Since a "cyber" is a professional in the domain business, it is expected that he/she is able (with a greater degree of probability) to lodge a registration request before the rest.

As such, Registrars continue elaborating ways to make a backordered domain service accessible for a conscientious user.

RU-CENTER offers .RU, .РФ, .SU and third-level Domain Backorder Service intended to equalize the chances of a "cyber"-professional and a common user who needs the domain for business needs or any other "direct" purposes.
