Mirror domain zones

Mirror domains are special pairs or groups of top-level domain names that reflect the same territory or function, but differ in spelling: by linguistic tradition, style, or even historical features. They are like linguistic twins in the domain name world. For example, the regional domain zones are:

  • .KYIV.UA and .KIEV.UA, or
  • .RIVNE.UA and .ROVNO.UA

They stand for the same cities, Kyiv and Rivne respectively, but use different spellings according to Ukrainian and russified transcription.

It's still about Kyiv and Rivne, but the essence and meaning are still different.
