Risk Notice
When administering the server, there is a risk of damage or irretrievable loss of information or server settings. For this reason, when sending a request for administration, the subscriber must make sure that he has a backup copy of important information.

Before starting the administration work, the ukrnames.com service employee will make an additional backup copy of the server, which will be kept for 3 days after the work is completed. During this time, the subscriber has the opportunity to apply for a backup copy, or request a rollback to the state of the server before the start of work. If such an appeal did not occur within 3 days after the completion of the work, the services are considered fully completed - the additional backup is deleted.
