Frequently Asked Questions about .US Domains
What is a .US domain and who can register one?
The .US domain is the official country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the United States of America. It is available to US citizens, US permanent residents, and any entity (business or organization) with a bona fide presence in the United States. This requirement is known as the Nexus requirement and must be met to register a .US domain.
What is the Nexus requirement for .US domains?
To register a .US domain, you must meet one of the following Nexus requirements: (1) be a natural person who is a US citizen or permanent resident; (2) be a US entity such as a corporation, LLC, or organization incorporated in the United States; or (3) be a foreign entity with a bona fide presence in the US. Hostao will guide you through the registration process to ensure compliance.
Is a .US domain good for local SEO in the United States?
Yes. Google and other search engines treat .US as a ccTLD geo-signal for the United States. A .US domain tells search engines that your website is primarily targeting US users, which can improve your visibility in US-specific search results. This is particularly valuable for local businesses, service providers, and government contractors.
How does .US compare to .COM for American businesses?
A .COM domain has broader global recognition, while .US specifically targets the American market and signals local presence. For businesses exclusively serving US customers — such as local service providers, contractors, or government vendors — a .US domain can actually be more appropriate and credible than .COM. It is also significantly more affordable and has far better name availability.
Can I transfer my existing .US domain to Hostao?
Yes, transferring your .US domain to Hostao is straightforward. The transfer process typically takes 5–7 business days. During the transfer, your website and email services remain fully operational with zero downtime. Our 24/7 support team can assist with every step of the transfer process.
What is the difference between .US, .BIZ, and .INFO?
The .US domain is specifically for American individuals and entities with a US Nexus. The .BIZ domain is a generic TLD designed for businesses worldwide, with no geographic restriction. The .INFO domain is open to anyone and is commonly used for information-based websites, directories, and resource hubs. All three are available through Hostao at competitive pricing.
