.us Success?

[happy]

I was wondering. Has any members developed a .us and had any kind of success?

 

[Wannabean]

Do not use privacy so end users can find you.

Don't think you can.

I would add, its not just the restrictions which have hurt .US. It'd the fact that US citizens have ignored it most of all. It's a shame really because it's a really nice extension for US citizens to have adopted.

Citizens ignored it? That doesn't make sense. Most people (us citizens) imo, know what .US is. Its US businesses that ignored it because they're the ones that need to put it to use.

The citizens who make the decisions about their companies websites

I got BusinessTax.us but i don't know what to do with it

Anyone here looked at name bio for yesterday's (5/28) sales?

The landing page shows about 37 (maybe 38 if I didn't miscount) .us sales. At first I thought I had filters on, but I didn't. They're mostly LLL and 1-words.

So what gives (other than this thread, lol)

That happens at this time every year. Most are domains registered when .us went live April 24, 2002. And most are renewed every year after the auctions end so no transaction actually takes place.

Then you shouldn't have bought it. Sorry.

But that wouldn't be the reason for the .us sales?

It would be more interesting if it didn't just cover 20-29 registrations

Sales or just bidding up auctions to reflect higher sales prices on sites like namebio...

Sorry. I didn't understand that explanation. So we must be talking at crossed-purposes. It's not important enough to try to sort this out

What exactly are the restrictions on .us domains? I'm from Australia and it took me 2 minutes to register Bingos.us

 

[Jason76]

Not bragging but

drumlesson.us
guitarlesson.us
basslesson.us (not as developed)

However, I might redo the look on two of them. They also need more written material.

Read this article. Things could get interesting for .us. We will see how this goes...

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.
