Dot US Domain Registration

The .US country-specific domain name extension was introduced in 1985 and designated to the United States, but it was available to the public in 2002. It is among the most widely used country extensions given the fact that lots of US business entities prefer to use a local domain and the US market is one of the largest around the world. Quite a few institutions, agencies and local governments also used or still use second-, third- or even fourth-level dot US domains along with their official dot GOV domains.

We are one of the companies offering .US registrations and your new domain will be up and running within minutes after you order it. The registration period is between one and ten years and you can also move over an existing domain and we will renew it after the transfer process is completed and the domain is registered on our end. Through our Hepsia Control Panel tool, you will have full control over your domain – you can update your WHOIS information, to park your domain, to set up custom records, etc.

Only American citizens, residents, organizations and firms can reserve dot US domains, so foreign entities are obliged to have a local presence, while persons from other countries are not able to buy such domains. To enforce these prerequisites, the Registry organization that handles the TLD – Neustar, performs occasional audits on existing domain names. This is also the reason for this country-specific domain not to support Whois Privacy Protection, so the Registrant (owner) contact information will always be publicly visible upon a WHOIS check.
