hostmaster.ua: The Gatekeeper of Ukraine's .UA Domain Empire
In the vast landscape of Ukraine's digital infrastructure, few domains hold as much authority as hostmaster.ua. Registered over two decades ago, this site serves as the nerve center for the country's top-level .UA domain zone. As of today, April 17, 2026, it's not just a website—it's the official hub managed by Hostmaster LLC, the organization entrusted with overseeing Ukraine's national domain registry.
A Legacy Built on Solid Foundations
The domain hostmaster.ua was created on February 18, 2005, making it a 21-year veteran in the online world. Its trademark, certificate №36662, dates back even further to December 15, 2003, and remains active until April 4, 2033. Owned by Hostmaster LLC (Товариство з обмеженою відповідальністю «Хостмайстер» in Ukrainian), it covers services under NICE Class 35, including commercial information agencies, business research, and organization of trade fairs—fitting for a company deeply embedded in Ukraine's internet ecosystem.
The registrant details point straight to Hostmaster Ltd in Kyiv, with contact via info@hostmaster.ua and phone +380.445941794. Notably, the domain's WHOIS was updated as recently as March 14, 2026—just over a month ago—ensuring its status remains ok and set to expire on February 17, 2027.
Technical Backbone: DNS, IPs, and Security
Diving into the DNS records reveals a robust setup:
- A Record: 109.70.108.31 (located in Ukraine, AS29067 LLC Hostmaster, Europe/Kyiv timezone)
- AAAA Record: 2001:4130:ce::31 (IPv6 support, same ASN)

Connections and Curiosities
Hostmaster's ecosystem links to broader Ukrainian DNS infrastructure, like ns.ua nameservers. Interestingly, the registrar is listed as ua.hostmaster—essentially self-registering, which underscores their monopoly-like role in .UA ops. It's like the domain equivalent of a postmaster general running their own stamp press.
In a light note, with DNSSEC signed tighter than a diplomat's briefcase, hostmaster.ua isn't messing around when it comes to trust. For anyone eyeing Ukraine's web presence, this is ground zero.
As Ukraine's internet matures, hostmaster.ua stands resilient, powering thousands of .UA domains that define national online identity.
