Answers
- What is .US?
.US is the official country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for
the United States within the global domain name system (DNS).
- What makes .US unique and why do
registrants need it?
.US is the only means to establish an American address on the
Internet. Soon, all U.S. residents, government entities,
public service organizations, and businesses will be able to
establish an American identity on the Internet with a short
memorable domain name. (e.g., johnsmith.us, publicservice.us,
mycompany.us).
Market research has shown that .US names will be very popular
with consumers for applications like e-mail, digital identity,
and personal Web sites. Government and public interest
organizations will use .US addresses to enable citizen-centric
e-Gov applications and to serve the needs of the American
people. Businesses will use .US domain names to promote
themselves as American companies to inspire consumer
confidence and to encourage consumers to "buy
American."
- When will second level .US domain
names be available?
Right Now. (April 24, 2002 - opening date)
- Who can register a .US domain name?
Any U.S. citizen or resident, as well as any business or
organization, including federal, state, and local government
with a bona fide presence in the United States can register a
.US domain name.
One of the following eligibility requirements must be met:
- A natural person who is a citizen or permanent resident
of the United States of America or any of its possessions
or territories or whose primary place of domicile is in
the United States of America or any of its possessions, or
- Any entity or organization that is incorporated within
one of the fifty (50) U.S. states, the District of
Columbia, or any of the United States possessions or
territories or organized or otherwise constituted under
the laws of a state of the United States of America, the
District of Columbia, or any of its possessions or
territories, or
- An entity or organization (including federal, state, or
local government of the United States, or a political
subdivision thereof) that has a bona fide presence in the
United States. See Section B.3.1 of the NeuStar proposal
to the Department of Commerce for details concerning what
constitutes a "bona fide presence."
- What is the price of a .US domain
name?
Sunrise registrations are required to be registered for a
minimum five-year period. The cost is $125 for the five-year
period. Each additional year (up to a maximum ten years) is $25.
- What are some of the expected changes
to .US?
Soon, for the first time in history, .US registrations will be
available at the second level (e.g., johnsmith.us,
publicservice.us, mycompany.us). Currently names are only
available in the "locality space" at the third level
and above (e.g., www.county.arlington.va.us).
- What will happen to existing .US
domain names?
Existing .US registrants (domain name holders) within the
"locality space" will retain rights to their
existing Internet addresses. In fact, existing domain name
holders will benefit from many of the operational improvements
and improved security and service levels NeuStar will
introduce within .US.
- How will current Delegees (Delegated
Managers) be affected?
a.a.name
r.r.name
Delegated Managers will continue to play their existing role
in the "locality space." Currently, no new
delegation requests will be accepted. We will be
requesting contact information from each of the existing
Delegated Managers. Delegated Managers will be required to
meet existing and new operational procedures designed to
improve the overall operational efficiency and improve service
to domain name holders within the locality space.
