Dot US Domain Names

The dot US country-specific domain was set up in 1985 and given to the United States, but it was opened to the public in 2002. It is amongst the most widely used TLDs considering that a large number of US commercial entities prefer to have a local domain and the US market is one of the largest globally. Many institutions, agencies and local governments also used or still have second-, third- or even fourth-level .US domains together with their official dot GOV domains.

We are amongst the firms offering .US registrations and your new domain will be up and running within minutes after you order it. The registration interval is between 1 and 10 years and you can also transfer an existing domain and we will renew it once the transfer process is done and the domain is registered on our end. Through our Hepsia Control Panel tool, you will have full control over your domain – you will be able to modify your contact info, to park your domain, to set up custom DNS records, etc.

Only US citizens, residents, organizations and business entities can acquire .US domains, so foreign entities need to have a local presence, while persons from other countries cannot register such domains. To carry into effect these restrictions, the Registry that administrates the TLD – Neustar, performs occasional checks on existing domain names. This is also the reason for this country-code top-level domain name extension not to support Whois Privacy Protection, so the Registrant (owner) contact information will always be publicly visible upon a WHOIS lookup.
