The .US domain is the official country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the United States. Established in 1985, it's operated by the U.S. Department of Commerce and administered by Registry Services, LLC (a Neustar company). Unlike generic domains like .COM or .ORG, .US domains are specifically tied to American identity and geography. 
The extension follows a locality-based hierarchy structure that can include state and city indicators (e.g., example.chicago.il.us), though direct second-level registrations (example.us) are now most common.

A .US domain is ideal for American businesses, government agencies, educational institutions, and individuals seeking to emphasize their U.S. presence or patriotic identity.
It's particularly valuable for organizations serving U.S. markets exclusively, state and local government entities, community organizations, political campaigns, and American-made products that want to highlight their domestic origins.

Using a US domain name can significantly enhance your online presence. It allows business entities and non-profits to showcase their commitment to the United States of America, fostering a sense of patriotism and community.
A web address with a US domain extension can improve web traffic and local visibility. The domain offers excellent name availability compared to saturated .COM domains, increasing your chances of securing your preferred short, memorable domain name. 

.US domains can be registered for periods ranging from 1 to 10 years at a time. Registering for multiple years upfront provides stability and eliminates annual renewal management concerns. 
As with other domains, ICANN regulations allow domain registrations to be extended up to a maximum of 10 years from the current date, though they can be renewed indefinitely as long as the registrant continues to meet eligibility requirements.

Unlike many generic domains, .us domains have specific eligibility requirements. Registrants must be either: U.S. citizens, permanent residents, U.S.-based organizations, or entities with a bona fide presence in the United States (such as having an office or other facility in the U.S.). Foreign entities without U.S. presence cannot register .us domains. 
Additionally, proxy or privacy services are prohibited for .us domains—registrant information must be public in the WHOIS database. Standard domain registration rules regarding length and character limitations also apply.

Yes, you can acquire expired .US domains (United States' country code TLD) through domain auction platforms, backorder services, or direct registration after the expiration cycle completes.
