📄 Editorial Review

Founded in 2007 by Andrew Khvetkevich and Sergey Bulakh, NIC.UA is a Ukraine-born registrar and hosting vendor known for engineering its own automation. They pioneered fully automated domain registration in Ukraine and run proprietary name servers that apply DNS changes instantly and support both IPv4 and IPv6. That technical DNA shows up across their platform: lean operations (a ~15-person team), heavy use of automation, and a focus on reliability, privacy, and IP protection for customers ranging from individuals to SMBs worldwide. The service is available in three languages and supports a broad set of payment methods, with referral bonuses and loyalty discounts layered on top.

Domains & DNS

They register domains across ~500 TLDs, emphasize registrar-grade security, and return 10% of spend to a bonus balance usable for future services. Their in-house, cloud name servers are included for the master domain, support rapid propagation, and offer optional paid slots for additional domains.

Shared / Premium Hosting

Shared hosting focuses on balanced resource allocation and isolation (Lightweight Environment), daily automated backups, SSD + DDR4 for fast I/O, and up to 99.8% uptime. Plans include DirectAdmin or cPanel, CMS one-click installs, SSH, multiple runtimes (PHP, Python, Node.js, Ruby), and MySQL/PostgreSQL. A 10-day free trial lets users test production infrastructure. For higher stakes projects, Premium/Cloud hosting adds clustered storage, load balancing, DDoS protection, and managed system administration—suited to news portals, e-commerce, and other steady-load sites. Premium nodes operate in Kyiv and Warsaw, with options to deploy in other countries on request.

Cloud / VPS ("Your personal cloud")

Virtual servers start small and scale hourly with pay-as-you-go. Baseline instances include 20 GB SSD, 512 MB RAM, 1 vCPU, with Windows licensing bundled from larger RAM tiers. The stack supports internal networks, firewalls, additional public IPs, site-to-site secure channels, extra disks up to 2 TB, and popular admin panels (ISPmanager, cPanel). Storage resides in Warsaw’s largest data center for speed and durability.

As of 2025, NIC.UA no longer provides cloud hosting services, despite having offered them in 2019. Interestingly, the website still maintains an active page displaying the product list, which creates a degree of inconsistency between their current offerings and the information presented online.

SSL Certificates

They sell free and paid SSL options (DV and above) with modern crypto (128/256-bit), broad browser support, and easy replacement if a paid cert is preferred over the free variant included on shared hosting.
