A Domain with Deep Roots in Ukrainian Internet History
The domain trifle.net stands out for its longevity, having been registered on September 21, 1996, and remaining active with an expiration date set for September 20, 2029.

Ownership and Technical Details
WHOIS records list the registrant as Andriy Yezhykhin, identified as a private person with contact details including an address in Dnipro, Ukraine, and the email eav@trifle.net.

The Live Website and Company Presence
Visiting www.trifle.net reveals a site focused on ISP Trifle, an internet service provider. The content describes the company's history beginning in 1992 with the creation of an APEX NCC internet node in Ukraine. Internet services were formalized in 1994 under the Science Production Enterprise Trifle. Milestones listed include early real-time video in 1994, search systems in 1994-1995, billing systems in 1996, and later advancements such as satellite channels, wireless networks, VoIP support, MPLS backbone, and IPv6 deployment in 2008. The site notes official partnership with Cisco Systems and positions the company as one of Ukraine's larger internet providers. Recent updates include tariff changes announced in February 2026 for domain services.
Connections and Context
The domain shares infrastructure with the Trifle ISP operation, including subdomains and related hosts. No other business affiliations are explicitly detailed in the WHOIS or site content beyond the ISP activities and the linked company AS.
This combination of a 1996 registration, Ukrainian hosting, and active ISP-related content makes trifle.net a notable example of enduring domain use tied to early internet infrastructure in the region.
