Common questions

About .us

.us is the United States' ccTLD, operated under the usTLD registry. Unlike many generic extensions, .us carries a 'Nexus' requirement β€” registrants must be a US citizen, resident, or an organization with a genuine US presence β€” which keeps the extension closely tied to the country it represents.

Choosing a name for .us

Because of the Nexus requirement, .us works best for businesses and individuals who can confirm a real US connection at registration. It's a solid complement to a .com for brands that want to visibly anchor themselves to the US market.
