The Ministry of Digital Development said that it is currently discussing with hosting providers the possible introduction of mandatory identification for customers via the State Services portal. — source: dimsmirnov175/129224
Currently, users of hosting services can register through several methods: e‑mail verification and confirmation using a Russian bank card are widely used. Owners of domains .ru, .rf and *.su have already faced stricter verification requirements, so the regulator is now looking to bring home users under a similar scheme.
The regulator wants each allocated IP address to be linked to a verified account in the public‑services portal, which should make it easier to trace illegal activity and increase overall transparency of the hosting market.
По словам интернет‑юристов, the new requirement could improve security and reduce abuse of hosting services, but it may also raise compliance costs for small businesses and individual developers who rely on quick account setup.
Many independent developers and owners of small sites note that the extra authentication steps would slow down project launches and increase operational expenses, especially for freelancers working on tight budgets.
If you run a site, consider switching to a provider that already supports Госуслуги login, which can future‑proof your services against upcoming regulations.
