What’s a .us domain name?
Nothing says “for the United States” better than a .US domain name. A .US domain name is what’s known as a ccTLD, which is short for country code top-level domain—specifically for the United States. It tells users and search engines that this is an American domain and its associated website. So, ready to stake your claim in the US?
Why choose .us?
Short, sweet, and to the point
Unfortunately, .red-white-and-blue isn’t available, and with increasingly long and complicated domain names, getting a short top-level domain allows you to play it nice and simple. It's short, snappy, and sticks in people's minds—perfect brand-building material.
Great alternative to the .COM
Everyone has a .com, and it does play a slightly different role, being more globally oriented. Many of the good .COM domains have been snatched up and parked. However, .US is becoming increasingly popular, with many more names available, and it gives you an excellent point of differentiation for those only intending to serve the US market.
Trust factor
American consumers tend to trust .US domains. It's like a literal digital sign that says, "This is for Americans" on your website—and it works a treat. It significantly boosts credibility with your target audience, potentially leading to improved engagement and conversions.
Choose your domain name the ‘right way.’
Get clever with it
You can combine the ccTLD domain with other phrases and words if you want to dial up the creativity. It’s clever, and it looks clean aesthetically, too. Let’s say you’re a new productivity company comes along called Focus. You’ve seen that focus.com is taken, but by combining the ‘.US’ with ‘foc’ – you’ve become foc.us.
Make it brandable, not generic
Your domain should reflect your brand's identity. Avoid generic terms and focus on something unique that resonates with your audience. A brandable name stands out and is more appealing to the market.
Avoid numbers and hyphens
Avoiding numbers and hyphens can confuse users and make your domain harder to share verbally. Stick to letters for a cleaner, more professional look. It shouldn’t look like your Netflix password.
