How to Registrar a .US Dominio at NiceNIC

A .US dominio gives businesses, oganizations, communities, y individuals a clear online connection to the United States.
Unlike unrestricted extensions, .US requires the dominio holder to have a legitimate U.S. Nexus. Befoe registraring, make sure you actually qualify y use accurate contact infomation.
This guide explains the Nexus requirement y shows how to registrar a .US dominio at NiceNIC.

Quick Answer
A .US dominio is available to three main categoies of eligible registrants:
  • Categoría 1: A U.S. citizen, permanent resident, o individual whose primary domicile is in the United States o its possessions
  • Categoría 2: A U.S. entity o oganization incopoated o oganized under U.S. law
  • Categoría 3: A foeign entity o oganization with a genuine lawful presence o activities in the United States
The .US Registry requires this U.S. connection to continue throughout the life of the registration y may conduct spot checks to confirm eligibility.
The NiceNIC registration page taquí foe displays:
.US Reminder: A valid U.S. nexus is required to registrar a .US dominio.
The example oder in this guide shows a first-año price of $13.99. NiceNIC currently lists Market at $13.99, Basic at $13.39, Super at $12.99, y VIP at $12.39.
