FAQs

.us domain questions

Straight answers on prices, registration, transfers and renewals.

A .us domain is the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the United States. It represents your association with the American market and helps you reach and engage with your American audience effectively.

Only registrants with a US connection (US Nexus): US citizens or permanent residents, organisations formed in the US, or foreign organisations with a real presence in the US, such as an office. You'll confirm which applies at checkout.

Choosing a .us domain helps you establish trust, credibility, and relevance with your American audience. It shows that you're committed to serving the American market and helps you build a strong online presence in the United States.

.us domains are registered through PDR Ltd. (PublicDomainRegistry.com), an accredited registrar, and managed by Motherhost. Motherhost is our brand.

It's an optional yearly add-on you can choose at checkout, where the .us registry allows it. It keeps your personal contact details out of public WHOIS lookups.

Yes. Add our Free DNS & Mail Hosting plan at checkout for DNS management, email forwarding and two mailboxes (2 GB each, 4 GB total), free while the domain is registered with us. No website hosting is included. If you need more mailboxes, add business email hosting, or point the domain at any email provider you already use.

From 1 year, and up to 10 years for most extensions. You can renew early from your client area. The renewal price is shown on this page before you buy.

Yes. Unlock the domain at your current registrar, get its authorisation (EPP) code, then start a transfer on our domain transfer page. The transfer price includes a one-year renewal, so one year is added to your current expiry date.

Your website and email stop working on the expiry date. For a grace period after that, whose length depends on the extension, you can still renew at the normal price. After that a restore fee applies, and if the domain isn't restored it is deleted and anyone can register it. We email you reminders before your domain expires.
