Ukraine is a beautiful country with an ancient history; the former Soviet republic declared its independence on August 24, 1991.
In old times parts of Ukraine were ruled by the Cimmerians and the Greeks colonized the Crimea peninsula of Ukraine around 700 BC.
These days, Ukraine shares a long history with Russia but maintains its own identity, language, and heritage.
All this appears to be endangered by Russia’s geopolitical ambitions, annexing part of Crimea in 2014 and currently escalating the deployment of military forces in an expected invasion.
Meanwhile, the domain name Ukraine.com was registered in May of 1995, at a time when .com domain registrations were still free. The registrant, Virtual Countries, Inc., held the domain since, eventually changing its name to New Media Holdings, Inc.
Kyiv, Ukraine
It’s very rare for a high quality European geo-domain to be held by the same registrant for more than 25 years and in this case, the domain portfolio of New Media Holdings is nothing less than impressive:
- Algeria.com
- Bangladesh.com
- Ecuador.com
- Morocco.com
- Nepal.com
- Nicaragua.com
- Scotland.com
- SouthAfrica.com
- Ukraine.com
And that’s not all. Several other generic domains are part of the New Media Holdings portfolio:
- Airplanes.com
- Autoracing.com
- Birds.com
- Musicians.com
- Stockmarkets.com
It’s quite possible that the domain name Ukraine.com has become a busy type-in destination, and will remain so in the days and weeks to come. Let’s all pray for a peaceful solution in the region, and the world.
