I looked up all three of my phone numbers as domian names (with area code) and someone has regsitered them with .us extension. Did the phone company do this? A whois reveals "not found"

Thanks for your insight!

there are many names that are restricted in the .us extension such as racial, explicit and some offensive words. If the whois is not found that means there is a restriction.

This from www.nic.us faq:

the following categories of names are also reserved:
- All numbers five digits and higher
- All numbers in the format five digits-four digits (zip codes)
- All telephone numbers including toll-free numbers
- Tagged domain namesโ€”all labels with hyphens in the third and fourth character positions (e.g. "bq--kn2n4h4b")

So phone numbers can't be registered at all within .us.

Regards,

Apollo

Thanks Armstrong!

Good work there.

On a side note I was wondering what I could do with my own phone number as a domain name. Everything but .us is available....I wonder if I coudl come up with some kinduv script that rang my phone when someone went to the webpage...that might get annoying but would be damn cool!!! Any thoughts...is this already being done out there? I am going to go look it up on google...hahah good day

:tu:

Instead of a 404 - you give them -
the number you have dialled has not been recognised

i don't know if its a good idea. you may even a thousand or more calls in a day, and who knows what the other guy thinks on the end.

YOu could also get load of threats, and even you privacy compromised(i think i am going overboard). But i wouldn't put my personal phone up there for everyone to call.

Who would even know that your phone number was a website? No one would go to it.

It's also kindof a weird name thats hard to remember, and IMHO .us is a bad tld

Wasnt the whole point of domain names so we wouldn't have to type in a whole bunch of numbers (IP addresses) to reach a site? So putting in a phone number seems like a step backwards to me :D
