.us .us.com - Does anyone use this?

[Robbie]

Hi Guy's,

Looking for help on .us.com - Does anyone use the ext? Does it get traffic?

What .us.com names do you own?

Sales I havent seen or heard of any sales on the .us.com - do you know of any?

Look forward to your reply,

Regards,

Robbie

it would be good for .us typos, unfortunately only around 10-15 names with a high enough popularity to matter. IE: Imageshack.us.com

Obviously like most things it is a case of weighing up the risk v returns, but for Name.us.com I would see it as cash down the drain.

But still for some reason, the uk.com subdomains (similar to us.com and operated by Centralnic too) are fairly popular in the UK.

Not nearly as much as .co.uk obviously, but there are still quite a large number of small businesses and even a few big ones in the UK which use these uk.com subdomains.

For example, Dominos Pizza UK :
their customer-orientated site is http://www.dominos.co.uk
their institutional site for investor relations, franchising, etc is http://www.dominos.uk.com

Well done nice name!

A lesson for anyone with subdomains rather than real domains. http://www.namepros.com/domain-name-discussion/456022-web-com-sub-domains-r-i.html

I can tell you that they are pretty much always available :P

how would your search engine performance go with these - would it get any advantage from being a subdomain of us.com?

if you're getting $30,000 a week's worth of bookings on that domain, i wonder why the name is parked?

$1.5 million worth of bookings a year and i'd be thinking hire a staff member (or eight) and be professional beach bum

Hi Thanks Rob,

So you're saying it's impossible to register a domain.uk ? why?

.uk - second level names are reserved for government authorities and they are not available for registration to the general public.

Some of the second-level names are:

www.nhs.uk - Website of UK National Health Service

www.nls.uk - Website of National Library of Scotland

www.bl.uk - Website of British Library

www.police.uk - Website of UK Police Service (No longer active)

www.parliament.uk - Website of the UK Parliament
