The most often we come across with the matter of the registration of the domain name in zone .UA. There is a common mistake to think that one can register the domain .UA by the application number.

Everyone knows, the domain (domain name) is the name of the web-site, which is typed by the Internet users in the browser when they are looking for the web-site, they are interested in. There is the official notion of the domain.
According to the current Law of Ukraine “On the telecommunications”, the domain is the part of the hierarchical address space of Internet, which has the unique name, which identifies it. It is serviced by the group of servers of the domain names and is administrated in the centralized way.
The Law of Ukraine “On the telecommunications” also specifies the notion of the domain .UA. This is the domain of the top level of the hierarchical address space of Internet, created on the basis of coding the names of countries in accordance with the international standards for servicing the address space of the Ukrainian segment of Internet. The second level domain is the part of the address space I Internet, which is placed at the second level of the names hierarchy in this network.
The domains registration is putting the information about the domain and its administrator to the central data base in order to provide the uniqueness of the domain use and get the rights for the domain administration by the administrator. The service on the domain registration is considered as the rendered one from the moment of loading the information to the data base. The domain registration is valid during a year, counting from the moment of the domain registration with the opportunity to prolong the registration.
Examples of domain names: Domains are divided by levels. The most right domain in the address is called the first level domain, the other ones, following it from the right to the left are domains of the second, third levels, etc.
Thus, in the address, e.g. www.torgmarka.com.ua:
ua is the first level domain (TLD, Top Level Domain),
com is the second level domain,
torgmarka is the third level domain,
www is the fourth level domain.
Domains of the top level are divided into two types:
1) generic (Generic Top Level Domains - gTDLs) indicate the kind of the activity of the domain name holder:
.com Commercial organization
.net Providers, network organizations
.org Nonprofit institutions
.gov Governmental institution
.mil Military organizations
.edu Education
.biz Business
.pro Professional
.name Individual persons
.museum Museums
.aero Aviation
.coop Cooperatives
.info General information
.movie Official sites of films
2) by the country of the domain registration (Country Code Top Level Domains - ccTLDs): .ua, .ru, .fr and others.
Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, or ICANN is an international non-profitable organization, founded on September 18, 1998 under the participation of the USA Government to regulate matters, connected with the domain names, IP-address and other aspects of Internet functioning.
IANA (from Engl. Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) is an American non-profitable organization, managing spaces of IP-addresses, top level domains, and registrating types of MIME data and parameters of other Internet protocols. It is controlled by ICANN.
The activity of ICANN has substantially changed the Internet outlook. Only one company was dealing with the registration of names in the common use domains till 1998. And that in its turn was one of the reasons, preventing the increase of the number of the registered domain names. There were only three million domain names in 1998.
ICANN Corporation has started to use the allocated system of the domains registration, based on the principle of the free access of the accredited registrars to the domain names registers. This step has laid the foundation of forming the competitive domain market. Today, more than 900 accredited registrars work in the common use domain zones. Thanks to this fact, the number of the registered domains has grown substantially. It exceeds 160 million now.
On December 1992 Johnathan Postel (IANA) delegated the first level domain of the country code .UA. The first domain administrators were the leading Internet-specialists of Ukraine Oleg Voloshchuk and Igor Sviridov. Since March 2001, some administrative powers have been delegated to Hostmaster Company, performing works on .UA accompanying for more than eight years. ccTLD has passed a long way from the moment of .UA delegation. 55 public domains, including 7 of the target and 48 of the geographical kind are registered now in .UA domain. The total number of private domains, registered in .UA ccTLD and public domains in it reached 491544 in December 2009.
Hostmaster Limited Liability Company is a specialized enterprise. It performs the only kind of activity, i.e. granting services on the administrating and accompanying technical supporting of the domain .UA and public domains in it.
