Register a .com.ua Domain and Connect It to Your Kyiv Server

Try .com.ua, .com, .net or any other extension.

A domain name is the first thing customers see, and for a business aimed at Ukrainian users a .com.ua address signals immediately that the site is local. Use the search box on this page to check whether your preferred .com.ua name is free, along with alternatives such as .com, .net, .org and other extensions that suit international audiences.

Ukrainian domain zones have their own registration requirements, which are set by the registry and can change over time. We explain them in general terms below and confirm the current rules when you order. Prices are shown at checkout or provided on request, rather than in a fixed list. Once your domain is registered, point its DNS records to your Ukraine VPS, RDP server or Kyiv dedicated server, and your site, mail and APIs are ready to go live from a Ukrainian IP.

Domain Services That Complete Your Ukrainian Hosting

.com.ua for Ukrainian Businesses

The .com.ua zone is the familiar commercial address for companies serving Ukraine. It tells local visitors that the business operates in the country and pairs naturally with a website hosted on a Kyiv VPS with a Ukrainian IP.

Global Extensions as Alternatives

If the .com.ua name is taken or you target several countries, check .com, .net, .org and other extensions in the same search. Many Ukrainian outsourcing companies hold both a global brand domain and a local .com.ua version.

Extension Pricing Confirmed Before Payment

Domain prices depend on the extension and can change with registry fees, so we show them at checkout or provide them on request instead of publishing a static list. You see the exact amount before you pay.

DNS Pointed Straight to Kyiv

After registration, set A records to your Ukraine VPS or dedicated server, add MX records for email and TXT records for verification. Your domain then resolves directly to infrastructure in the Kyiv Tier III facility.

Registry Rules Explained Clearly

Ukrainian zones may ask for specific registrant details or supporting information. Requirements are set by the registry and can change, so we describe them in general terms and confirm what applies to your name at the time of ordering.

Renewals Tracked in One Account

Domains, servers and invoices sit together in the ServerSlot client area. You can see renewal dates alongside your hosting services, which reduces the risk of a forgotten renewal taking a business website or mailbox offline.

Why a .com.ua Address Matters for Businesses in Ukraine

Country-code domains carry a clear message. When Ukrainian customers see a .com.ua address in search results, an advert or an email signature, they understand that the business serves Ukraine. That familiarity can improve click-through rates and trust, especially for shops, service providers and local brands.

Search engines also use the domain extension as one of several signals about which country a site targets. A .com.ua domain, combined with Ukrainian-language content and hosting on a Kyiv server with a Ukrainian IP, gives a consistent local signal.

The .com.ua zone is a commercial second-level domain under the national .ua extension. It is widely used by companies of all sizes, from small studios to large retailers. For organisations that already own a global .com brand, registering the matching .com.ua name protects the brand locally and gives Ukrainian visitors an address they recognise. Many IT outsourcing firms use exactly this arrangement: a global domain for international clients and a .com.ua site for recruitment and local partners.

How Ukrainian Domain Registry Requirements Work

Every domain extension is governed by a registry, which sets the rules for who may register a name, what information must be supplied and how disputes are handled. Ukrainian zones are no exception, and their requirements can differ from those of generic extensions such as .com.

Depending on the zone, the registry may ask for accurate registrant contact details, information about the person or organisation registering the name, or supporting details in particular cases. Some second-level zones are intended for specific types of organisations. These rules are set by the registry, not by us, and they can change over time.

How we handle this for you

  • We describe the requirements in general terms on this page.
  • When you order, we confirm the current rules that apply to your chosen name.
  • If extra information is needed, we tell you exactly what to provide.

Always use accurate registrant information. Incorrect details can delay registration or create problems later when you need to prove ownership, renew or transfer the domain.

Using the Domain Search to Find an Available Ukrainian Name

The search box on this page checks availability across .com.ua and other extensions. A few tips help you find a strong name quickly.

  • Keep it short: shorter names are easier to type on mobile and remember from a conversation.
  • Avoid confusing spellings: Ukrainian words transliterated into Latin script can be spelled several ways. Choose the most common form, and consider registering obvious variants.
  • Skip hyphens where possible: they are easy to forget when people type the address.
  • Check social handles: a matching name on social networks makes marketing more consistent.
  • Look for trademark conflicts: make sure the name does not infringe someone else's brand.

If your first choice is unavailable, try adding a descriptive word, such as your city or service, or use a different extension. The search results show alternatives so you can compare options before deciding. Prices for each extension appear at checkout.

Comparing .com.ua with .com, .net and Other Extensions

Choosing an extension is about audience as much as availability.

When .com.ua is the best choice

Your customers are mostly in Ukraine, your content is in Ukrainian, and you want a clearly local identity. Shops, local service firms, regional media and Ukrainian-facing digital services all benefit.

When a global extension fits better

You sell to clients across Europe and beyond, as many Ukrainian IT outsourcing and product companies do. A .com or .io style domain feels neutral to international buyers and works well for English-language marketing.

When to hold both

Holding both a global and a Ukrainian domain is common. You can run separate sites for each audience, or redirect one to the other. Redirects are simple to set up on a Kyiv VPS with a 301 rule in the web server, and they protect your brand from look-alike registrations.

Whichever you choose, the domain can point to the same Ukrainian server, so hosting decisions and domain decisions remain independent.

Pointing Your Domain's DNS to a Kyiv VPS or Dedicated Server

A registered domain does nothing until its DNS records tell the internet where to send visitors. After you receive your Ukraine VPS or dedicated server, note its Ukrainian IP address and create the following records:

  • A record for the root domain (example.com.ua) pointing to the server's IPv4.
  • A or CNAME record for www pointing to the same server or to the root domain.
  • MX records pointing to your mail server, whether on the VPS or with an external provider.
  • TXT records for SPF, DKIM, DMARC and service verifications such as search console ownership.
  • Additional A records for subdomains like api, staging or shop.

You can manage DNS through the registrar's name servers, through a third-party DNS service or by running DNS on your own server. For most businesses, using a reliable external DNS service is simplest and adds resilience, because DNS continues to answer even during server maintenance.

DNS Propagation, TTL Values and Going Live Smoothly

DNS changes are not instant everywhere. Resolvers cache records for the time set by the TTL, or time to live. If a record has a TTL of one day, some visitors may continue to reach the old address for up to a day after you change it.

Planning a smooth switch

  1. A day or two before moving a site, lower the TTL of the relevant records, for example to five minutes.
  2. Wait for the old, longer TTL to expire so resolvers pick up the new short value.
  3. Update the records to point to your Kyiv server.
  4. Once traffic has moved and everything works, raise the TTL again to reduce DNS lookups.

Checking propagation

Use command-line tools such as dig or nslookup to query different public resolvers and confirm they return the new Ukrainian IP. Remember that your own computer and browser may cache old answers; flushing the local DNS cache helps when testing.

Changing name servers takes longer than changing individual records, so avoid doing both at once during a critical launch.

Email Records for a .com.ua Domain

Email depends on DNS just as much as your website does. Getting these records right helps your messages reach inboxes rather than spam folders.

MX records

MX records tell other mail servers where to deliver mail for your domain. Point them to your Kyiv VPS if you host mail there, or to your external email provider.

SPF

An SPF record lists the servers allowed to send mail for your domain. Include your VPS IP if it sends mail, plus any services such as newsletters or invoicing tools.

DKIM

DKIM adds a cryptographic signature to outgoing messages. Your mail server or provider generates the key, and you publish the public part in a TXT record.

DMARC

DMARC tells receivers what to do with messages that fail SPF or DKIM, and can send you reports. Start with a monitoring policy, review reports, then move to a stricter policy.

Ukrainian businesses that invoice clients by email benefit greatly from these records, as they reduce the chance of important messages being filtered.

Keeping or Transferring a Domain You Already Own

You do not need to move your domain to host with us. If your domain is registered elsewhere, simply update its DNS records to point to your new Ukraine VPS or dedicated server. The registration stays with the current registrar, and your site starts loading from Kyiv as soon as DNS updates.

Some customers prefer to consolidate domains and hosting into one account for convenience. Transfers between registrars follow rules set by each registry, which commonly involve unlocking the domain, obtaining an authorisation code and confirming the request. Ukrainian zones may have their own transfer procedures.

Before any transfer

  • Make sure the registrant contact details are accurate and that you can receive email at the listed address.
  • Check the domain is not close to expiry, so the transfer completes in time.
  • Note your current DNS records, so you can recreate them if name servers change.

Open a sales ticket with the domain name, and we will confirm the steps and any costs that apply.

Protecting Your Ukrainian Brand with Defensive Registrations

A domain is part of your brand, and look-alike domains can be used to confuse customers or imitate your business. Registering a few defensive variations is an inexpensive form of protection.

  • Your main name in .com.ua and a global extension, even if you only use one actively.
  • Common transliteration variants of a Ukrainian brand name.
  • Typing mistakes that customers might realistically make.

Redirect all variants to your main site with permanent 301 redirects configured on your Kyiv server. This also catches visitors who type the wrong version.

Renewal discipline

Expired domains can be registered by someone else. Set your own renewal reminders, keep the registrant email current and review renewal dates in the client area. Losing a business domain can take your website and email offline at once, so treat renewals as seriously as server invoices.

Ordering a Domain Together with Ukrainian Hosting

The easiest way to launch is to order the domain and server together. Search for your name, add it to the cart and choose a Ukraine VPS, RDP package or Kyiv dedicated server. Checkout takes place in the ServerSlot client area, where you will see the domain price before paying.

Payment methods shown include cryptocurrency, Visa, Mastercard, PayPal and bank transfer. If the extension you want needs extra registrant information, we will let you know what to supply.

Once both are active, point the domain to your server, install SSL and set up email. Our web hosting guide and WordPress page explain the next steps in detail. For domain questions before ordering, including prices for specific extensions, open a sales ticket or write to info@serverslot.com.

Q & A

.com.ua Domains FAQ: Questions & Answers

How much does a .com.ua domain cost?

We do not publish a fixed domain price list because prices depend on the extension and can change with registry fees. The exact price for a .com.ua name, or any other extension, is shown at checkout before you pay. You can also open a sales ticket to request a price for a specific domain in advance.

What are the rules for registering a .com.ua domain?

Registration requirements for Ukrainian zones are set by the registry and can change over time. Depending on the zone, you may need to supply accurate registrant details or additional information. We describe the rules in general terms and confirm the current requirements for your chosen name when you place your order.

Can I use a domain registered elsewhere with my Kyiv VPS?

Yes. You do not need to transfer your domain. Simply update its DNS records at your current registrar or DNS provider to point to the Ukrainian IP of your VPS or dedicated server. The site will load from Kyiv once the change propagates, which depends on the TTL values set on your records.

How long does it take for DNS changes to work?

Record changes take effect as resolvers' cached copies expire, which depends on the TTL. With a short TTL, most visitors see the change within minutes; with a long TTL, it may take up to a day. Changing name servers usually takes longer. Lower the TTL in advance if you are planning a migration.

Should I choose .com.ua or a .com domain?

Choose .com.ua if your audience is mainly Ukrainian and you want a clearly local identity. Choose .com or another global extension if you sell internationally. Many businesses register both, using one as the main address and redirecting the other, which protects the brand and serves both audiences. Both can point to the same Kyiv server.

Which DNS records do I need to point a domain to Ukraine hosting?

At minimum, create an A record for the root domain and for www pointing to your server's Ukrainian IPv4. Add MX records for email and TXT records for SPF, DKIM, DMARC and service verifications. Additional A records can point subdomains like api or shop to the same or different servers.

Can I transfer my .com.ua domain to you?

Transfers follow rules set by the registry and usually involve unlocking the domain and obtaining an authorisation code from the current registrar. Ukrainian zones may have specific procedures. Open a sales ticket with the domain name, and we will confirm the steps, timing and any costs before you begin the transfer.

Can I order a domain and a Kyiv server at the same time?

Yes. Search for your domain, add it to the cart and select a Ukraine VPS, RDP package or dedicated server in the same order. Checkout happens in the ServerSlot client area, with payment by cryptocurrency, Visa, Mastercard, PayPal or bank transfer. Then point the domain to your server's IP. Then add SSL.
