Dot US Domain Names

The .US country-code top-level domain extension was established in 1985 and assigned to the United States, but it was opened to the public in 2002. It is amongst the most widespread ccTLDs having in mind the fact that numerous US commercial entities prefer to have a local domain and the US market is among the largest in the world. Quite a few institutions, agencies and local governments also used or still have second-, third- or even fourth-level dot US domains along with their official .GOV domains.

We are one of the firms offering .US registrations and your new domain will be active within the hour after you order it. The registration period is between 1 and 10 years and you can also transfer an already registered domain and we will renew it as soon as the transfer is completed and the domain is registered on our end. Through our Hepsia Control Panel tool, you will have total control over your domain – you can change your contact details, to park your domain, to set up custom DNS records, and so on.

Solely US citizens, residents, organizations and firms can get dot US domains, so foreign entities have to have a local presence, whilst individuals from other countries are not able to register such domains. To carry into effect these rules, the Registry that administrates the TLD – Neustar, performs occasional checks on existing domain names. This is also the reason for this country-specific top-level domain extension not to support Whois Privacy Protection, so the Registrant (owner) information will always be publicly accessible upon a WHOIS check.
