.us frequently asked questions
01How much does a .us domain cost?
The cheapest first year we found is $0.98 at Spaceship. Renewal matters more: the cheapest renewal is $6.48 at Spaceship, so five years costs $26.90.
02Why is .us renewal so much more than the first year?
The first year is a promotional price. Renewal runs 561% higher, which is the price you pay every year after. Registrars advertise the first number.
03Who runs the .us registry?
The IANA root database records the sponsoring organisation for .us. Registrars sell .us names on the registry's behalf; the registry sets the wholesale price.
04Are there restrictions on registering .us?
US Nexus Requirement — registrant must be a US citizen/resident, or an organization with a bona fide US presence.
