Is .US dead (??)

[Yong1]

Is anyone still investing in .US domains?

Has anyone sold any .US domains lately?

Where would you sell them?

Obviously in the .US .com is king too, but I have seen at times .us being used by different companies.

 

[HeyNow]

Everyone that owns sub-domains on .US.COM will see this news.

And realilze they need to buy a quality .US domain and 301 redirect.

Not seeing .US on the list of affected SLDs. Am I missing something?

I think you mean us.com, It is not on the list but is owned by the same company and people may Understandably feel the same thing may happen to them.

It's dependent upon people understanding they bought a sub-domain. The majority that own these domains don't know.

Lol. All NPs members should agree a .US is much better than a sub-domain.

Yes, of course I mean .us.com . I hope .us.com goes away, considering I would like to see .US unfurl as the most important of the lot. Lots of entities use .us, but domainers drive the inflation bubble, and domainers aren't in the buy mode for .us. Too many other distractions like dot-getarealjob.

The subdomain .US.COM should go.
When you have .US what's the necessity in continuing with subdomain.

What are you looking at, majority are generic.

Yes some people love domain hacks and .us is a nice extension with alot of possibilities.

I agree, I am one of them and I have a number of them.

No .US ones though.

I have only one hack moveto.us

 

[luciocm]

I also have one domain hack: besides.us

 

[GoKaizen]

Crowdsource, nice hack imo.

 

[lotk]

I have several decent .us hacks like Reward, Solve, and Fight. I have done decent selling .us hacks for low to mid 4 figures. A couple I've sold were Show and Revive but those were in 2012.

 

[SoundsGood]

Get $500 offers on the few I still own once or twice a year. Contemplating just liquidating them at that price next time around. If they ever dropped the requirements to own them, you would see a pretty big buyout overnight.

My opinion, I don't think its dead, just dormant at the moment....I just hand-reg LasVegasPoker.us.... Not bad for the price I paid imo

Because the patient has not told people what room he's in, And the hospital has no record of him........bet he would have gotten attention if he had a website.

.us is not dead. I continue to have offers on and sell .us domains on a regular basis. For reference, I sold JOP .us at Sedo a few months back for $1,000.

Do you mostly sell keywords or LLL.us?
