What is the .US top-level domain?
.US is the country code top level domain name (ccTLD) designated for the
United States of America. The old .us domains were very long and
impractical to use. Recent changes have streamlined
both the names and the registration process. Now American business,
organizations and individuals can register domain names under .us for
the first time in a standard format like mydomain.us. The
registry is operated by an American company, in the United States and
overseen by the Department of Commerce.
In our opinion, .us domains will come
to rival the popularity of .com as the domain of choice
for Americans and those doing business in the United States.
Since there are very
few individuals' and business currently using .us, there is a large
number of attractive, names now available. However, they are going fast. Market research shows that
.us names will be particularly popular with individuals, organizations,
and small and medium business interested in promoting themselves as
American.
