Why
Why choose a .us domain
While .com dominates in America, .us is the country's official extension and a smart pick when the .com is taken or when being American is the point: local services, civic projects, campaigns and made-in-USA brands.
One requirement to know: the .us registry requires a genuine US connection (citizenship, residency, or a US-based organisation or business presence). If you serve the US market from within it, you qualify.
Benefits

FAQ
.us domain questions
How much does a .us domain cost?
Registering a .us domain costs $7.99 for the first year and renews at $11.99/yr — both figures are shown side by side before you pay, so there are no year-two surprises.
Who can register a .us domain?
The registry requires a bona fide US nexus: US citizens and residents, US organisations, or foreign entities with a genuine US business presence. You confirm eligibility during registration.
Can I keep my .us registration private?
The .us registry does not permit WHOIS privacy — registrant details are published in line with its policy. If privacy is essential, consider .com or .co instead.
Does .us help with American customers?
It geo-targets the United States in search and signals local presence — useful for regional services where 'American' is part of the pitch.
