Want to establish a unique, memorable American identity online? Any citizen,
business, organization or government agency with a bona fide presence in the
United States can register a .US domain name.
- .US names are very popular with individuals for applications like email, digital identity, and personal web sites.
- Government and public interest organizations use .US addresses for e-Gov applications and to serve the needs of the American people.
- Finally, businesses use .US domain names to promote themselves as American companies, and to encourage consumers to “buy American.”
.
Note: Some .US names have been reserved to protect important local and national naming resources, to reserve spaces within .US for future enhancement of the domain, and to protect technical Internet interoperability. See the most current list of reserved names. In addition to the specific names contained in this reserved name file, the following categories of names are also reserved:
- All numbers five digits and higher
- All numbers in the format five digits-four digits (zip codes)
- All telephone numbers including toll-free numbers
- Tagged domain names—all labels with hyphens in the third and fourth character positions (e.g. "bq--kn2n4h4b")
