What It Is

REDO (redo.ua) is a long-established Ukrainian internet infrastructure provider that has been operating since 1999, run by the private company “Rulez”. Its core services include domain registration, domain transfers, web hosting, and SSL certificates. REDO focuses heavily on the local Ukrainian market, working directly with local domain authorities and international registries, and emphasizes localized service.

Key Criteria Analysis

• Service types and supported TLDs: Covers the three basic service areas of domains, hosting, and SSL. Its TLD selection is very extensive, including not only mainstream generic domains but also a large number of Ukrainian national and regional TLDs, such as .ua, .com.ua, .kiev.ua, .vinnytsia.ua, and others. It also clearly explains special registration requirements for certain domains such as .ua, for example the need for a Ukrainian trademark.
• Registration/renewal pricing: Prices are listed in Ukrainian hryvnia (грн), with a clear gap between first-year registration and renewal pricing. For example, .com costs 589грн for the first year and renews at 719грн; .com.ua costs 379грн for the first year and renews at 599грн. Some new gTLDs have steep first-year discounts, such as .shop at 99грн for the first year.
• Transfers in/out: Domain transfers are supported and require an EPP Auth-code. Its registrar identifier is ua.redo. The transfer fee includes a one-year renewal, and after a successful transfer, the account receives a 15% discount plus 1 month of free hosting.
• Privacy protection: WHOIS privacy protection is not clearly mentioned in the main content and needs further confirmation.
• DNS and add-on services: This is one of REDO’s highlights. Domains registered or transferred in include a free “Start Pro+” hosting plan with 10GB SSD storage, along with a DNS management panel, HTTP redirects, mailboxes, and anti-spam filtering. New users can also get a 90-day free hosting trial.
• Payment methods: Supports Visa/MasterCard via IPay.ua, Privat24, WebMoney, and installment payments, making it highly localized for Ukrainian users.

Pricing, Pros and Cons

In terms of pricing, first-year promotional rates are fairly attractive, but renewals are noticeably more expensive. Its strengths are the broad range of local Ukrainian domain options, direct registry connections, good value from the “domain plus hosting” bundle, and detailed guidance on special domain rules. Downsides include relatively high renewal prices, customer support being available only on weekdays from 10:00 to 18:00, and the lack of clear information about privacy protection.

Who It’s For

REDO is mainly suitable for Ukrainian local businesses, international teams that need to register Ukrainian domains such as .ua, and individual developers looking for cost-effective entry-level hosting in Ukraine.

Access from China

Network and payments: As a Ukraine-focused provider, its control panel may have latency issues for users in mainland China, and its payment methods, such as Privat24, are not China-friendly. Users will likely need to rely on an international credit card. Alternatives: If you only need generic domains, international providers such as Namecheap are generally a better fit. If you specifically need Ukrainian domains, compare it with local registrars such as Imena.ua.
