discuss .us can soon surpass .biz

[Dream Domains]

.us can soon surpass .biz by the number of registered domains.

 

[E-Promote]

That's not saying much.

 

[arjun29]

@DomainNameBroker.com you pulled me here.... now give me some stats and analysis.

 

[Armageddon]

.us can soon surpass .biz by the number of registered domains.

Not relevant but hmmm notice on my .us domain names listed on SEDO, traffic from China , a lot actually
Who knows maybe because of trade war US vs China , chinese investor want to buy/registred .US domains

 

[MapleDots]

.us is soooo good, don't know why it does not have higher acceptance.

 

[ecomslice]

I have some cool hacks. There nice to look at ... RunWith TradeFor etc..
I thought about creating a " Look at my .us " domain club, cause certainly no one is buying

Never understood why it didn’t get successful like other xxtld’s.....ca..de...au and others that are almost the “goto” in their respective countries

Because it was ignored by BIG US companies.
So .com is default TLD in the USA.

The Yanks wont touch .US.
misguided domain speculators might. The only time you'll see the .US taken is when there's at least 8 to 12 of all the other tld extensions taken.

As always has been noted .com is theirs followed by all the other long standing extensions. They would rather take the .Co (Columbia) before the .US which is rather ironic

Sad but true. It has potential if Neustar would put marketing dollars behind it.

I'd rather use .US or .ME. As has been documented .CO creates more confusion.

Thanks for the acknowledgement Adam27. I agree the .US should be better promoted on its home territory. But after 20 years in this game, I have to acknowledge what I see happening in todays market. Sure Americans are using the .Co as everyone else, as a shorting for 'Company'

Funny seeing a 'Dislike' on my post above - don't think I've had one of those before. Some people just want to read what they like to read I guess. I'm sure some Brits take the .Co as potential global presence as well. Just not as many as opposed to the .UK

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Neustar is like Afilias... their main focus is to serve TLDs as tech backend...
They spend very little efforts for promotion...

 

[Macit]

Total registered domain count for US and BIZ extensions:

BIZ: 2,200,982
US: 2,137,649

Data were taken from dofo.com.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Here is daily zonefile data: https://dnpedia.com/tlds/daily.php
.BIZ is already below 2M.

 

[dotker]

I am very surprised...... that .us is just about to surpass .biz considering its been a while since .us has been released.

 

[Name Trader]

What are the highest 5 .US sales?

 

[Armageddon]

What are the highest 5 .US sales?

[Donmarick]

Why does this not surprise me. USA is owned by 2 countries...

One is china, and the other is not allowed to be named.

Yes, .com is like American English...it's the default language like .com is the default TLD if doing business globally.
