Ukraine’s official top-level domain
.ua is Ukraine’s official country code top-level domain (ccTLD). It is primarily intended for domestic companies, individuals, and organisations with active operations in Ukraine, but it can also be registered by foreign entities. A key requirement is that you must hold a trademark registered in Ukraine.
Like other country code domains, the .ua domain highlights a company’s presence in the market, reinforces geographical relevance, and increases visibility for Ukrainian customers.
Several subdomains are also available under .ua, including:
- .com.ua – open for anyone, no trademark registration required
- .net.ua – same conditions as .com.ua
Why register a .ua domain?
A .ua domain is highly relevant if you are starting a business in Ukraine or expanding your existing operations into the country. Thanks to Ukraine’s strategic location in Eastern Europe, a .ua domain can also support broader expansion in the region—not only within Ukraine.
An official country domain provides important competitive advantages for a successful market entry. Increased visibility is one, while brand protection and building trust with Ukrainian customers are equally crucial.
Who can register a .ua domain?
Unlike many other country code domains, .ua is not open for unrestricted registration. To register a .ua domain, you must hold a trademark registered in Ukraine. However, you do not need to be incorporated or have an office in the country.
As experts in both domain and trademark management, Abion guides you through the entire .ua registration process. We also offer legal support with trademark registration, applications, and ongoing protection of your Ukrainian trademark.
