What is a .us domain?
The .us domain is the country-code extension of the United States, created in 1985. Its early years used a complex geographic structure (for example name.city.state.us), mainly by local governments and schools. Direct second-level registrations such as example.us opened in 2002, and the extension is run by a private operator under US government oversight through the usTLD policy.
While most American companies use .com, .us is a short, clear alternative with a strong national identity. It works well when your preferred .com is taken or when you want to say plainly that you serve the American market. Unlike many country codes, .us carries a strict United States connection rule known as the nexus requirement.
.us is the country code extension of United States.

Who a .us domain suits

Registration rules for .us
- Nexus requirement: the registrant must be a US citizen or permanent resident, an organisation incorporated in the US, or a foreign entity with a bona fide presence or office in the US.
- At registration you declare a nexus category and the intended use of the domain; the registry may check these declarations and cancel non-compliant names.
- The usTLD policy has historically prohibited proxy and privacy registrations, so registrant details are generally public.
Tips for choosing a .us name
- Confirm you meet one of the nexus categories before registering; a company with no US activity is not eligible.
- Use a dedicated email address for the contact details, since they may be publicly visible.
- If you already own the .com, add the .us to protect your brand in the American market.
- Write content in American English (spelling, units, currency) to make the most of the extension's local signal.

Questions about .us domains
Can a non-US company register a .us domain?
Only with a genuine connection to the United States. The usTLD rules accept foreign entities, but only those with a bona fide presence in the US, such as an office, regular sales or other operations on American soil. Simply wanting the name is not enough.
What happens if I do not meet the nexus requirement?
The registry runs checks and also receives complaints. If the registrant cannot show a US connection, the domain can be suspended or cancelled and the fee is not refunded. We recommend registering .us only when you can stand behind the declaration you make.
Why might my contact details be public?
The usTLD policy, set under US government oversight, has historically not allowed registrant details to be hidden behind privacy services, in the name of transparency. Use a business address and a dedicated email if you do not want to expose personal data.
Is .us as good as .com for the American market?
For visitors, .com remains the most familiar extension, but .us is short, memorable and clearly points to the US. Search engines treat .us as the country-code extension for the United States, which can help with local searches.
How much does a .us domain cost?
Registering a .us domain costs €9.55 for the first year and €17.98 for each renewal, VAT excluded, paid from your account credit. There is no setup fee and DNS hosting is included.
For how long can I register a .us domain?
You can register a .us domain for 1 to 10 years at once. After that it renews automatically from your credit a month before expiry, and you get an email if your credit is short.
Can I transfer my .us domain to cloudlinux.ro?
Yes. Transferring a .us domain costs €17.98 and normally adds a year to its expiry. Unlock the domain at your current registrar, get the transfer code and start the transfer from the Domains section of your console.
Can I host a website on my .us domain with you?
Yes. Launch a cloud server billed by the hour, pick a one-click app such as WordPress, Ghost or Nextcloud, and point your .us domain to it from the DNS editor. The domain also works with any server you run elsewhere.
