Mirror domain zones

Some Ukrainian domain zones work as mirrors. This means that registering a name in one of these zones, the same name is reserved for the owner only in the mirror zone.

For example, having registered the domain example .kiev.ua, the owner can register a similar name in the zone .kyiv.ua . At first glance, the difference is not noticeable, but in the first case, the Russian-language version of the domain zone is used, in fact Kiev ? Kyiv, and in the second Ukrainian-language version, Kyiv ? Kyiv.

Also, sometimes the mirror zone is shorter and more convenient to use, as, for example, in the example .nikolaev.ua domain, where example .mk.ua will be the mirror.
