Dot US Domains

The .US country-code top-level extension was introduced in 1985 and designated to the United States, but it was opened to the public in 2002. It is one of the most widely used TLDs considering the fact that numerous US business entities prefer to have a local domain and the US market is amongst the largest around the world. Many institutions, agencies and local governments also had or still have second-, third- or even fourth-level dot US domains together with their official dot GOV domain names.

We are among the domain service providers offering dot US registrations and your new domain will be up and running within a matter of minutes 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 after 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 WHOIS details, to park your domain, to create custom DNS records, etc.

Only American citizens, residents, organizations and commercial entities can register dot US domains, so foreign entities must have a local presence, whereas persons from other countries cannot obtain such domains. To carry into effect these requirements, the Registry that operates the TLD – Neustar, performs arbitrary audits on existing domain names. This is also the reason for this country-specific TLD not to support Whois Privacy Protection, so the Registrant (owner) contact information will always be publicly available upon a WHOIS check.
