Third-level & second-level domains[edit]

To remove the risk ofcyber squatting,registration of second-level domains directly below.ua is restricted to owners of registered trade marks, who may register a domain name similar to that of the trade mark in question. However, third-level domains can be registered beneath some of the following:

  • .ua: paid, commercial organizations
  • .edu.ua: free, available only to proved educational organisations.
  • .gov.ua: free, available only to governmental organizations
  • .net.ua: paid, network service providers
  • .in.ua: paid, domains for individuals
  • .org.ua: paid, other organizations (non-commercial)
  • .mil.ua: free, available only to armed forces

There are also second-level domains which are region-specific. These are less popular than the above list (making domain names more available) but they are sometimes restricted to organisations exclusively from within the region.
