.US Domains

The .US country-specific top-level domain was introduced in 1985 and designated to the United States of America, but it was available to the public in 2002. It is one of the most popular TLDs because of the fact that a lot of US firms prefer to have a local domain and the US market is one of the largest around the world. A lot of institutions, agencies and local governments also had or still use second-, third- or even fourth-level dot US domains together with their official .GOV domains.


Only American citizens, residents, organizations and businesses can acquire dot US domains, so foreign entities have to have a local presence, while individuals from other countries are not able to reserve such domains. To enforce these restrictions, the Registry organization that operates the TLD – Neustar, performs arbitrary audits on existing domain names. This is also the reason for this country-code domain not to support Whois Privacy Protection, so the Registrant (owner) information will always be publicly visible upon a WHOIS lookup.
