Very Nice article, I didn't know neustar held back premiums like home.us,..They should sell them to the Right buyers that WILL USE them to market their businesses online and off. Collectively they could raise awareness of .us exponentially more than Neustar ever could by itself. Neustar gets money and free marketing.... imo

Is a 4N us worth renewing for $7? Somehow I though they were NOT sold out, so if they are, I might hold another year

namebio shows only 2 sales both in 2013 : rolleyes :

That URL only goes to About.us now. Here is a cached copy on Google however:

http://webcache.googleusercontent.c...ivacy-service-plan/+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us.

According to that, the commenting period may or should still open till tomorrow.

Although that URL is no longer resolving to the previous page, the link to the PDF about the issue is still live here:

https://ns-cdn.neustar.biz/creative...-services-plan-PUBLIC-COMMENT-2016-Dec-14.pdf

From the previously appearing page at the first URL:

. . . identified the lack of privacy services as a key issue suppressing domain name registration in the .US TLD . . .

Umm, no, other ccTLDs have no residency restrictions, IMO that is the bigger issue. : sigh :

PS but a step in the right direction nonetheless

They did write "a key issue" and not "the key issue"...

The US has over 300 million people and growing. The UK only has just over 64 million, but the ccTLD there is huge, and also does not allow non-UK entities to register. So it's not about allowing non-US entities to register, although no doubt that would have resulted in much bigger registration numbers, perhaps even huge.

It's mainly about public awareness, marketing and other factors like a privacy option. If the American public were made to be fully aware of the availability of .US and allowed to have optional privacy, that is what could awaken the "sleeping giant" that has been sleeping since April 2002. To this day I can even speak to a current employee of the US federal government who did not even know that .US exists, which is exactly what I did just months ago with exactly such a friend of mine who has been working with the federal government for many years and is even very close to retiring already. Speak to others here and you can well expect to likely hear something like ".US? What's that?"

And notwithstanding the apparent contradiction of the way people behave with something like Facebook, for instance, which probably has more to do with simply not knowing how to use it for privacy, Americans seem to generally consider privacy important - at least as an available option.

Evus.us - nice sale!

check out the newly redesigned Easter.us !

looks like a lot is going on with .us this year.
Firstly people complained about how neustar manages it, well looks like new owners will be taking over soon.
Secondly people complained about privacy, soon that will be an option.
Premium pricing coming soon that should not affect existing registrants, right?

.US is the united States cctld, majority of websites use the extension and know it as a local cctld. A small minority use the cctld as a hack yet neustar is advertising on Google promoting the hack uses instead of its primary purpose as a local cctld to promote local businesses. SMH

People have cried saying if only they were around in the 90's they would have seen and taken advantage of the opportunities to acquire valuable domains.
Opportunities happen all the time, unfortunately if you can't think for yourself then you will never be at the forefront and only see opportunities lost.
Believe what you believe not what others want you to believe.
If your in this business and can't think for yourself then you are a pawn in the domain game.

Just Sayin

Just wanted to add that .US is one of the few exact match cctlds.
Exact match
.US = US
.UK= UK
Not
.CN= China
.IN =India
.CA=Canada
......

Just added WinterSolstice.us to my portfolio will be adding a website there soon to countdown to the days until Winter Solstice it will be something similar to my developed Easter.us

Will update you guys when the site is up and running in the near future.

Appreciate all the positive feedback I received on the newly developed Easter.us - on a side note to all dot US domains developed can and will rank very well in search engines in Bing/Yahoo Easter.us ranks very high (first page) for numerous keyword terms including Easter 2017, Easter Sunday, When is Easter Sunday, When is Easter 2017, etc. etc. etc. Site should be doing very well in the upcoming weeks already has a ton of traffic.
