A Domain with Nearly Two Decades of History
The domain whois.ua was registered on June 26, 2007, and has maintained an "ok" status since then. It is set to expire on June 26, 2026—just days from the current date—making its renewal a point of interest for those tracking Ukraine's domain infrastructure.
Operated by the .UA Registry Administrator
According to WHOIS records, the registrant is ТОВ "Хостмайстер" (translated as Hostmaster Ltd or LLC Hostmaster), with contact details including the email info@hostmaster.ua and an address in Kyiv, Ukraine. The registrar is listed as ua.hostmaster, the same organization. This entity is explicitly identified in public records as the manager of the .ua country-code top-level domain.
The domain uses nameservers bg.ns.ua, ho1.ns.hostmaster.ua, and ns1.ns.ua, all tied to Hostmaster's infrastructure. It also features DNSSEC signing for enhanced security.
What the Site Offers

Its associated website at hostmaster.ua provides information on .ua domain management, including support for standards like DNSSEC, IDN, and RDAP. Recent updates on the site highlight ongoing operations and events related to the .ua namespace.
IP and Hosting Details
The domain resolves to multiple IPv4 addresses, primarily in Ukraine and hosted by AS24725 and AS29067 under LLC Hostmaster. Corresponding IPv6 addresses are also active, confirming a robust, multi-homed setup.
Notable Facts and Current Status
