Is a .ua name registered?

Looked up from your browser in the registry's RDAP service; if that does not answer, in DNS. Nothing is stored on dnssec.in.

What this means

The root zone holds a DS record for .ua, so the extension is signed and anchored. A domain under .ua can use DNSSEC with a full chain of trust: it needs to be signed at its DNS host and have its own DS at the registrar. .ua is the country code for Ukraine; its registry sets who can register.

Second-level suffixes under .ua (79)

You can register names directly under .ua or under these suffixes, for example example.com.ua. Some are restricted to certain users (government, education, banks). Source: the Public Suffix List.

IDN names under .ua

The registry publishes IDN tables at IANA for 1 scripts or languages, so names can use these characters (stored as xn-- in the DNS):

  • Cyrillic Script

Length

DNS limits are the same everywhere: each label is 1 to 63 characters, the whole name at most 253, letters, digits and hyphens, not starting or ending with a hyphen. IDN labels count their xn-- form, so fewer native characters fit. A registry can set a higher minimum (often 2 or 3 characters) or reserve short names: that is in its own policy.

WHOIS and RDAP

RDAP (the JSON successor to WHOIS) answers at https://rdap.hostmaster.ua/. Classic WHOIS (port 43) answers at whois.ua.

Lifecycle and drop

Country code extensions set their own lifecycle: grace periods, redemption and release dates differ from country to country and are not covered by ICANN's gTLD policies. Read the registry's rules: https://www.hostmaster.ua/.
