Geographical public domains, initially based on phone area codes, were allocated during a conference of Ukrainian internet specialists in Slavsko in January 1993, following the delegation of the .UA country code top-level domain. Initially, these domains were mostly transliterations of Russian city names (e.g., kiev.ua, kirovograd.ua, sebastopol.ua). As the Internet transitioned from experimental to mainstream technology, new requirements and discussions for alternative names emerged. In December 1997, shorter, easier-to-remember two-letter names were introduced (e.g., ivano-frankivsk.ua became if.ua). The introduction of these new names aimed to address inherent flaws without replacing old names, allowing parallel registration in both traditional and new domains. These changes, led by domain administrators Dmytro Kohmanyuk, Ihor Svyrydon, and Hostmaster LLC, will ensure Ukrainian transliterations are reserved and mirrored to existing geographical domains, available to administrators by autumn 2008, contingent on compliance with .UA domain rules.2007-12-26 Public domains in Ukrainian transliteration https://www.hostmaster.ua/news/?pr20071226 2024-07-29 Hostmaster uk .cr.ua: Crimea .krym.ua: Crimea .kv.ua: Kyiv .lv.ua: Lviv Oblast .sb.ua: Sevastopol .sevastopol.ua: Sevastopol .sicheslav.ua:2015-09-14 Domain names sicheslav.ua, secheslav.ua, yelysavethrad.ua, elisavetgrad.ua, zlatopil.ua, inhulsk.ua, kropyvnytskyi.ua are reserved https://www.hostmaster.ua/news/?pr20150914 2024-07-29 Hostmaster uk Dnipropetrovsk Oblast Technological domains admin.ua ipv6.ua ns.ua ua.ua www.ua xn--mqa.ua dnssec.ua rdap.ua epp1.ua epp2.ua Statistics As of March 2017, around 10.78% of all the .ua domains were served via secured HTTPS protocol, with the Let's Encrypt Authority X3 being the most popular SSL certificate.Статистика українського інтернету https://www.ukralio.com/statistika-ukrainskogo-internetu dead https://web.archive.org/web/20170217063340/https://www.ukralio.com/statistika-ukrainskogo-internetu 2017-02-17 2017-03-01 www.ukralio.com uk Nginx is the most popular web server, serving 68.97% of the .ua domains, followed by Apache serving 17.75% of the total .ua domains.
