Background

".us" is the official country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the United States

The ".us" top-level domain (usTLD) was established in 1985 as the official country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the United States. Today the ccTLD ".us" is administered by NeuStar.

Due to the strong patritism that exist through out America a lot of businesses use ".us" domain names to promote themselves as being American. This inspires the american consumers confidence and hence encourages them to "buy American". Market research has also shown that ".us" names are very popular with consumers for applications like email and personal web sites and digital identity. ".us" domain names are available to citizens or permanent residents of the United States of America (any possessions or territories of the United States of America). Organisations incorporated in the USA can also register ".us" domain names. Government and public interest organizations use .US addresses to enable citizen-centric e-Gov applications and to serve the needs of the American people.

Foreign organisations who have a genuine presence in the USA (or its' possessions or territories) can also register under ".us", this includes a local office or branch.

The registry ask for certain items of information which together form "Nexus Values", (See bottom of the page for more detailed information) these basically catagorise the class of the registrant applying for the domain name. This separates a company from an individual, and a USA citizen from a foreign organisation with a US presence. If you are based outside of the USA, you need to provide your country of citizenship.

Today any U.S. citizen or resident, as well as any business or organization, including federal, state, and local government with a bona fide presence in the United States can register a ".us" domain name.

To be more clear, in order to register a ".us" domain name one of the following eligibility requirements needs to be met:

• "Any entity or organization that is incorporated within one of the fifty (50) U.S. states, the District of Columbia, or any of the United States possessions or territories or (ii) organized or otherwise constituted under the laws of a state of the United States of America, the District of Columbia, or any of its possessions or territories."

• "An entity or organization (including federal, state, or local government of the United States, or a political subdivision thereof) that has a bona fide presence in the United States. See Section B.3.1 of the NeuStar proposal to the Department of Commerce for details concerning what constitutes a 'bona fide presence'."

• "A natural person (i) who is a citizen or permanent resident of the United States of America or any of its possessions or territories or (ii) whose primary place of domicile is in the United States of America or any of its possessions, or"

In order to register a ".us" domain the follwing information will have to be provided. (Please note that this is the minimum required information and aditionall information might have to be added in certain cases):

Domain transfer/release fees are charged are by a majority of registrars, but BB Online make no charge to transfer a domain to another Global domain name registrar.

Background

The global registry appointed by ICANN for the .mobi domain name is dotMobi. It is used for people who want to enable internet service through their mobile phones. It makes sure that the site will work and doesn't give the same problems on mobile phones that other domain names might.

Even though the mobile market is increasing, the Mobile Web is still very difficult to use. It can be hard to locate certain sites and very little content can show up. These problems are erased with use of the .mobi domain name, opening an easier path for content providers. It means that you will need to rely less on operator portals.

It guarantees a better user experience which results in customer loyalty, .mobi increasing the use of profitable data services. IT gives users an easier way the access the internet and websites that they enjoy, a mobile being more accessible from various locations rather than a laptop.

Yet, why does it work with all phones? This is due to the 'Instant Mobilizer'. It takes an existing website and transforms it into a mobile site. No programming is involved which makes it easier for anyone to get hold of a .mobi site.

dotMobi, also known as mTLD ltd., has reserved a number of domains which are usually common words or phrases. This procedure is done along with dotMobi's contract with ICANN. The reason for these so called 'Premium names' is so that you can preserve the stability and exurity of registry operations, make it more likely that these names will provide the mobile web community with more exciting features and services, and so that in the allocation of these names, there is a more level playing field.

Excluding these 'Premium names', dotMobi works on a 'first come, first serve' basis, much like other domain names. These domain names must follow the required dotMobi criteria.

These are the regulations which must be met when creating a .mobi domain name:

  • The maximum characters allowed in a .mobi domain name is 63, the minimum being 3. This excludes the 'http://www' and '.mobi'.
  • All numbers 0-9 can be used, along with the roman alphabet a-z and ASCII.
  • Hyphens (-) can be used but two cannot follow after each other.
  • Spaces and special characters such as !, $, etc. cannot be used.
  • In the future it is planned that dotMobi will support IDNs which means Internationalised Domain names. This is not yet possible.
