Imenaua

What Imenaua does

Imena.ua is a Ukrainian domain registrar and web hosting provider operated by Internet Invest Ltd., headquartered in Kyiv, and in continuous operation since 2001. The firm positions itself as a market leader in the Ukrainian domain market and is accredited as an ICANN registrar, supporting registration across Ukrainian zones (.ua, .com.ua, .kyiv.ua, and numerous regional and city-level .ua domains), international country-code TLDs, and a broad catalog of new gTLDs. Its core technology stack combines a self-serve domain registration and control panel with DNS hosting (including DNSSEC, SPF/DKIM/DMARC, and 2FA), WHOIS privacy protection, and domain transfer services, all compliant with ICANN policies, GDPR, and Ukrainian data protection law.

The product portfolio extends well beyond registration into infrastructure: shared web hosting from 273 UAH/month with five-minute onboarding, eVPS with automatically scaling performance from 375 UAH/month, cloud servers in the Mirohost Cloud from 144 UAH/month, dedicated servers from 2,613 UAH/month, and rack-based colocation (1U to 6U) at the Mirohost datacenter. Add-on services include premium domain auctions, trademark registration assistance (required for .ua second-level domains), SSL certificates across DV/OV/EV/Wildcard tiers, and email and web redirection. Customer segments span individual users, SMBs, developers and startups, large enterprises requiring high-load infrastructure, and brand owners seeking trademark-based .ua domains, with acquisition handled predominantly through a self-serve online platform and a partner/affiliate program paying 7.50 UAH per standard domain and $15 per .UA second-level registration.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through recurring monthly subscriptions on hosting, VPS, cloud, dedicated server, and colocation products, supplemented by annual domain registration fees, premium domain transaction fees, and professional services for trademark registration. GTM is a hybrid of product-led self-service for SMBs and individuals, with an affiliate/partner channel for distributed webmasters and site owners. There is no publicly disclosed funding, no M&A activity, no leadership changes, and no AI/ML capabilities indicated in the available data; the firm appears to be an independently operated, profitable niche infrastructure business tied closely to the Ukrainian market and the Mirohost sister brand.
