    About .укр domain

    .укр is an internationalized country code top-level domain (IDN ccTLD) written in Cyrillic script, with the Punycode representation .xn--j1amh. It is operated by the Ukrainian Network Information Center (UANIC) and was approved by the ICANN Board on 28 February 2013, with the zone added to the root DNS servers on 19 March 2013. The suffix is a three-letter Cyrillic abbreviation, making it visually distinct from any existing Latin-script ccTLD. Ukraine was among the first countries globally to apply for a native-script country code domain, submitting its full application to ICANN in November 2009.

    Who can register .укр domain

    .укр is intended for entities connected with Ukraine, and registration is permitted in both Ukrainian and Russian using Cyrillic script. There are no strict nationality requirements that bar international registrants, but the extension is naturally oriented toward individuals, businesses, and organizations with a meaningful connection to Ukraine. Government agencies were among the first registrants, with a dedicated registration phase for Ukrainian government bodies opening in August 2013. Prospective registrants should check the current rules published by UANIC, as the registry maintains its own registration policies and dispute-resolution procedures.

    How to register .укр domain

    1. Search for your desired .укр domain name at a registrar that supports IDN ccTLDs and specifically offers .укр registration. Because this is a Cyrillic-script extension, confirm that the registrar's search tool accepts Cyrillic input or the equivalent Punycode (.xn--j1amh) before proceeding.

    2. Compare available registrars on price, renewal rates, and support for internationalized domain names. Pay attention to whether the registrar provides a Cyrillic-capable control panel, as managing an IDN domain through an interface that only displays Punycode can be cumbersome.

    3. Complete the checkout process by providing accurate registrant contact details. Ensure your WHOIS contact information is correct from the outset, as UANIC's registration rules emphasize WHOIS accuracy.

    4. After registration, configure your DNS settings to point to your hosting provider or nameservers. Verify that your browser and email client correctly resolve the Cyrillic domain, and test the Punycode equivalent (.xn--j1amh) to confirm end-to-end functionality.

    Typical uses of .укр domain

    .укр is most commonly used by Ukrainian businesses, government agencies, media outlets, and community organizations that want a web address written entirely in Cyrillic script, matching the native language of their audience. It is a strong choice for brands whose names are already well known in Ukrainian Cyrillic form, allowing them to present a fully localized online identity without relying on a Latin-script transliteration. Organizations that serve Ukrainian-speaking users find that a .укр address reinforces cultural and linguistic authenticity in a way that .ua or generic TLDs cannot replicate.

    Tips for registering .укр domain

    • Because .укр is an IDN ccTLD, confirm that your email provider and any third-party services you rely on fully support Cyrillic domain names before completing registration, as compatibility can vary.
    • UANIC maintains its own pretrial dispute-resolution mechanism separate from ICANN's standard UDRP process; familiarize yourself with the "Provisions on the Commission for Pretrial Resolution of Domain Disputes" if you hold trademark rights relevant to your chosen name.
    • Check whether your chosen registrar offers WHOIS privacy for .укр, as IDN ccTLD policies on privacy protection differ from those of generic TLDs and not all registrars provide this option.
    • Review renewal pricing carefully before registering, since introductory registration prices at some registrars may differ significantly from the ongoing annual renewal cost.
    • Keep your registrant contact details up to date throughout the registration period; UANIC's rules place responsibility on the registrant for maintaining accurate WHOIS data.

    Who operates .укр domain?The registry for .укр domains is UANIC, administered by Ukrainian Network Information Centre (UANIC), Inc..
    Who can register a .укр domain?

    .укр does not impose a strict residency or citizenship requirement, so registrants from outside Ukraine can technically register a domain. However, the extension is designed for entities with a connection to Ukraine, and UANIC's rules govern acceptable use. Registrants should review the current UANIC registration rules to understand any eligibility conditions that may apply at the time of registration.

    Can I transfer a .укр domain between registrars?

    Transferring a .укр domain between registrars follows the standard inter-registrar transfer process, but you should confirm that the receiving registrar supports IDN ccTLDs and specifically handles .укр before initiating a transfer. Some registrars that support generic TLDs do not support Cyrillic IDN ccTLDs, which can complicate or block the transfer. It is advisable to check for any transfer lock period that may apply immediately after initial registration or a previous transfer, and to ensure your authorization code (EPP/auth code) is available from your current registrar.

    How are domain disputes handled under .укр?

    UANIC operates its own pretrial dispute-resolution system rather than relying solely on ICANN's standard UDRP. The registry publishes both "Provisions on the Commission for Pretrial Resolution of Domain Disputes" and a separate "Procedure for Resolving Domain Disputes," which together govern how conflicts over .укр domain names are adjudicated. Trademark holders who believe a .укр domain infringes their rights should consult these UANIC documents to understand the correct filing procedure and applicable standards.

    Can I use .укр with standard Latin-script browsers and email clients?

    Yes — .укр has a Punycode equivalent (.xn--j1amh) that is used at the DNS level, so the domain resolves correctly in all standards-compliant browsers and mail servers even if the software does not render Cyrillic labels visually. Modern browsers typically display the Cyrillic form in the address bar when the domain is valid and trusted. However, some older or specialized software may display only the Punycode form, so it is worth testing your specific use case before building critical infrastructure around a .укр address.

    Is registration in Russian as well as Ukrainian permitted under .укр?

    Yes — UANIC confirmed at launch that registration of .укр domain names is permitted in both Ukrainian and Russian, since both languages use the Cyrillic script. This means registrants can choose names that reflect either language's spelling conventions. The key requirement is that the label uses Cyrillic characters consistent with the .укр zone's technical specifications.
