Questions before you register or transfer a .US?

Short answers for buyers who need to confirm namespace fit, registration rules, bulk search, transfer handling, or reseller/API support before continuing.

What is a .US domain?

.US is the country-code top-level domain for the United States. It is commonly used by U.S.-connected businesses, organizations, communities, campaigns, and individuals.

Who operates the .US registry?

IANA lists .US as a country-code TLD managed by Registry Services, LLC. Registrations also follow usTLD registry policy and usTLD registry and registrar workflows.

Can anyone register a .US domain?

.US is not a completely unrestricted namespace. Registrants must have a genuine connection to the United States and provide accurate nexus-category information.

Does .US allow WHOIS privacy?

The .US registry requires domain contact information to be displayed in public WHOIS, so WHOIS privacy or redaction is not normally available for .US registrations.

What kind of names work well with .US?

Local business names, U.S. community projects, state or city campaigns, public-information sites, and American brand-protection names usually fit .US better than generic global-only names.

Can I bulk search .US names at NiceNIC?

Yes. You can use NiceNIC bulk domain search to compare location, brand, and campaign variations before registering.

Can I transfer a .US domain to NiceNIC?

Eligible .US domains can usually be transferred when the domain is unlocked, transfer restrictions have cleared, and the correct authorization process is completed.

Should a .US site use SSL and business email?

Yes. A U.S.-connected business or public-facing project should use SSL certificates and branded business email for trust.

Does .US have public premium sales examples?

.US has public completed-sale records, so this page displays selected benchmark examples for customer education, not registry-set premium prices.

Secure the .US name before someone else does.

Register a new .US, transfer an existing domain, or upgrade your account level for bulk registration and reseller API use.
