What is a .us.com domain?
.us.com is a private namespace under the .com domain us.com, operated by CentralNic — not the United States’ .us country code and not an ICANN top-level domain. Public WHOIS shows us.com registered since 5 January 1993 with DNS on CentralNic name servers, which is where every yourname.us.com address is created.
The practical difference from .us is eligibility. The real .us requires a “nexus” with the United States; .us.com has no such test, which is why Indian firms without US sales or offices sometimes choose it.
Should an Indian business choose .us.com, .us or .com?
Pick .com if your brand is free there; .us if you genuinely sell to or operate in the US; and .us.com only when neither works and you still want an American-looking address. The decision usually comes down to nexus.
- Is yourbrand.com available at a normal price? Take it; it suits US buyers best.
- If not, do you have a US company, a US office, or regular sales to US customers? Then you may meet the .us nexus rules — see .us domain registration.
- If you have no US connection yet, .us.com gives a US-flavoured address with no eligibility test.
- Already own the .com? .us.com can be a defensive registration so a look-alike cannot be used against you.
How much does a .us.com domain cost?
WebJi® billing lists .us.com at a flat ₹2,000 to register, transfer or renew, before 18% GST. For planning only, five years at today’s price would come to ₹10,000; any prepaid multi-year price appears at checkout.
Who uses .us.com in India?
Typical Indian buyers are IT-services, SaaS and export firms pitching to American clients before they have a US entity. The address looks familiar on a proposal or email signature, and it behaves like any .com in browsers and mail.
- Offshore development firms: a US-facing site for RFPs and case studies.
- SaaS start-ups testing the US market: a landing page before incorporating there.
- Exporters: a catalogue site for American importers when the .com is taken.
- Brand owners: defensive registration beside an existing .com.
What are the limits of a .us.com address?
It is commercially operated, carries no US country signal for search engines, and depends on CentralNic continuing the namespace. CentralNic closed eight sister namespaces such as .gb.com and .se.com in April 2017, so treat .us.com as an addition, not the only address a business relies on.
Disputes run under CentralNic’s own dispute policy rather than the .us registry’s. Once you form a US company — for example a US LLC — moving the main site to .us or .com is usually the better long-term choice; see the .uk.com page for the same trade-offs in the British market.
Frequently asked questions
Is .us.com an American government or registry domain?
No. The US country code is .us, administered by Registry Services, LLC under US government oversight. .us.com is a privately operated namespace under one .com name, run by CentralNic.
Can I register .us.com without any US presence?
Yes. There is no nationality, address or sales test. That is the main reason Indian firms choose it over .us, which requires a genuine US connection.
Will .us.com help my site rank in Google US?
Not by itself. It sits under .com, so search engines treat it like a generic address. US rankings come from content written for American buyers, US links and reviews.
Does .us.com renew at a higher price?
WebJi® billing lists the same ₹2,000 for registration, transfer and renewal, before 18% GST. Supplier prices can change, so the renewal shown at checkout is the figure that applies.
