# Best domain registrars in Ukraine

Ukraine's rule is about trademarks, not geography, and it is the single most important thing to know before shopping. A name directly under .ua is available only to the owner of a trademark matching the domain. Everyone else uses the third levels, and .com.ua, .in.ua, .net.ua and .org.ua are open to all without restriction. So a Ukrainian business without a registered mark is not being excluded, it is being pointed at .com.ua. No registrar we track sells any Ukrainian string, so registration goes through Hostmaster's authorised registrars.

## Short answer

Ukraine's rule is about trademarks, not geography, and it is the single most important thing to know before shopping. A name directly under .ua is available only to the owner of a trademark matching the domain. Everyone else uses the third levels, and .com.ua, .in.ua, .net.ua and .org.ua are open to all without restriction. So a Ukrainian business without a registered mark is not being excluded, it is being pointed at .com.ua. No registrar we track sells any Ukrainian string, so registration goes through Hostmaster's authorised registrars.

## ccTLDs

### .ua

Ukraine's country code at the second level, reserved for trademark holders.

- Eligibility: Restricted. Second-level .ua names are available only to owners of a trademark that matches the domain name. Nationality is not the gate; the mark is.
- Notes: Hostmaster Ltd. administers .ua and publishes the authorised registrar list. Registration is via those registrars, not with the administrator directly.
- Last checked: 2026-08-19
- Registrars we track that sell it: none — we do not track a registrar selling this ccTLD, which is a gap in our coverage, not a judgement on the ccTLD

### .com.ua

Commercial third level, the open Ukrainian namespace and the practical default.

- Eligibility: Open to everyone with no restrictions, as are .in.ua, .net.ua and .org.ua.
- Notes: This is where a Ukrainian business without a registered trademark actually registers, and it carries none of the second-level constraints.
- Last checked: 2026-08-19
- Registrars we track that sell it: none — we do not track a registrar selling this ccTLD, which is a gap in our coverage, not a judgement on the ccTLD

### .укр

Ukraine's Cyrillic internationalised ccTLD.

- Eligibility: A separate IANA delegation administered for the Ukrainian-script namespace.
- Notes: Punycode .xn--j1amh. Not an alias of .ua.
- Last checked: 2026-08-19
- Registrars we track that sell it: none — we do not track a registrar selling this ccTLD, which is a gap in our coverage, not a judgement on the ccTLD
