What is .us?

.us is the United States country-code extension. It is not unconditionally open to everyone: applicants must meet a category for US citizens or qualifying residents, US entities, or foreign entities with a bona fide US presence. Simply targeting US customers is not by itself proof of eligibility. If you meet the Nexus requirements, search your brand’s .us option at DomainQ and proceed with registration.

Diagram of the name, extension and DNS hierarchy in yourbrand.us
In yourbrand.us, yourbrand is your chosen name and .us is the top-level domain. DNS hierarchy proceeds from the root (.) to the extension and the name. This is an illustrative address, not an availability result.

.us registry and registration rules

Nexus and accurate registrant-data requirements determine your .us application at DomainQ. Assess this country code’s steps separately from generic extensions, and ask our team about eligibility and DNS connections.

When to use .us

US-based business

Consider it for a business established in the US. Register with the actual entity’s details and declare the correct Nexus category.

Eligible personal project

Individuals meeting the policy’s citizenship or residence criteria can choose a personal publication or project address. Another person’s eligibility does not transfer to your registration.

Foreign entity with a US presence

Foreign entities with real connections such as regular lawful activities, business relations or an office in the US are assessed under the relevant category. Keep information supporting the declaration available.

Establish eligibility before choosing .us

Consider Nexus eligibility alongside name selection at DomainQ. Find a name for your US audience; targeting the country alone does not establish registration eligibility.

.us or .com

Consider generic .com if you do not meet US connection requirements. Availability of a .us name does not establish registrant eligibility.

Choose plain Latin spelling

.us currently does not offer IDNs. Choose an appropriate plain-Latin version of a Turkish brand and check for confusing spelling variants.

Explain the country connection clearly

Prepare content for the US market, without implying that .us confers government approval or official status. Present the organisation and service clearly.

Register and manage .us at DomainQ

Confirm your Nexus basis, actual registrant data and DNS requirements for your DomainQ application. .us does not permit anonymous or proxy privacy; ask our team about eligibility or registration steps.

Before registering at DomainQ

Continuing Nexus eligibility

Eligibility must continue throughout registration, not just at application. The registry can check information and request support for the declaration.

Anonymous or proxy registration restriction

.us policy prohibits anonymous or proxy registrations that conceal true registrant data. Do not assume a privacy package offered for another extension applies to .us.

Nameserver location

The Nexus document requires certification that listed nameservers are in the US. Verify the DNS service accordingly; this is different from the location of website files.

Costs and accurate contacts

Compare registration and renewal costs. Keep a reachable email address and accurate holder and Nexus data; do not choose on a low price alone.

How to register a domain with DomainQ

From choosing your name to managing DNS, keep your domain in one customer panel.

  1. Search for your name at DomainQ

    Check your address for availability and compare alternative extension prices. Searching alone does not reserve the name.

  2. Complete registration in our panel

    Review your registrant details, registration term and total price in your DomainQ customer panel. Keep your contact details current for renewal notifications.

  3. Connect with your included DNS

    Manage web and email records with our included Premium Anycast DNS. If you are still building your site, try SiteQ free for 15 days; our team can help with setup questions.

Technical terms and transaction details

What does Nexus mean?

Nexus classifies a registrant’s real US connection. It can be based on citizenship or residence, US incorporation, or a foreign entity’s bona fide US presence.

Does buying US hosting establish Nexus?

A hosting purchase alone does not establish holder eligibility. The individual or entity must satisfy the relevant Nexus category and make accurate policy declarations.

Can the proxy restriction be avoided with substitute details?

No. True and accurate registrant details are required. Using a provider’s or another person’s details to conceal the actual holder is not a compliant substitute.

Questions about .us at DomainQ

From choosing .us to registration and renewal: answers about your DomainQ service and the extension’s requirements.

How much does a .us domain cost?

The pricing section shows DomainQ’s standard .us registration, renewal and transfer fees separately. Check the selected term, taxes and the name’s pricing category in the order summary.

What should I check first with a cheap .us?

Check Nexus eligibility and data conditions first, followed by registration and renewal costs. A low price does not remove eligibility requirements.

Can my company in Türkiye register .us?

It may qualify under the foreign-entity category with a bona fide US presence or the regular lawful connections described in policy. An intention to enter the US market alone is insufficient.

Is US citizenship the only route to .us?

No. Nexus also provides categories for qualifying residents, US entities and foreign entities with a bona fide US presence. Declare the correct basis for your circumstances.

Can I use WHOIS privacy with .us?

No. .US policy does not permit anonymous or proxy registration services that hide the actual registrant. DomainQ’s free privacy on supported extensions does not change this rule; your .us registration must use accurate details for the actual owner.

Can I register .us with Turkish characters?

No. According to the official .US FAQ, IDN registration is not currently offered. Consider a suitable plain-Latin spelling of your brand.

Must my website be hosted in the US?

The technical certification in the Nexus document concerns the US location of the listed nameservers; DNS servers and web hosting are different. Before applying for .us at DomainQ, confirm with our team that your proposed DNS setup meets this requirement.

Can Nexus eligibility be checked later?

Yes. Policy requires continuing compliance and allows registry spot checks. Update the data when activities or holder details change.

Does .us imply I am an official US organisation?

No. .us is a country code, not government approval, a professional licence or trademark registration. Describe your organisation and services accurately.

Does .us improve SEO?

.us can convey a country context but does not automatically deliver rankings or US search traffic. Relevant content and technical quality matter; SEO expectations do not replace Nexus eligibility.
