TheUnited-States.us

[Wot]

The United-States . With or without the dash over 5 million pages @ Google

[President Gringo]

i dislike names that have several words, but only have dashes between some of the words...makes it harder to remember the site name. Very little value IMHO

Two huge negatives here, the word "The" and the hyphen, killing any value.

[biggedon]

If you live in Thailand, how are you regging .us?

[domainAddict]

Yeah How?

[President Gringo]

easy.....you simply pick the names and reg them. I own a couple, and am not in the US (yet)

[Ed30]

It starts with "the", it has the dash, it's a .us - $0.

TheUnited-States.us

Menmonic:The "The" and the "United" are UNITED and the states are separated by a (state) line (-).

I mean if I had to remember it for my life, I knoew I d find a way to.

On second thought ,what would do with it without State Department intervention?

PRESIDENT GRINGO:
With registration of .US names you are stating that you are:

The Registrant certifies that it meets the following Nexus Requirements to qualify to register to use a .US domain name.

A. Registrants must be either:

1. A natural person (i) who is a United States citizen, (ii) who is a 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;
2. An entity or organization that is (i) 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 (including a federal, state, orlocal government of the United States, or a political subdivision thereof, and non-commercial organizations based in the United States), or;
3. A foreign entity or organization that has a bona fide presence in the United States of America or any of its possession or territories that also (i) regularly engages in lawful activities (sales of goods or services or other business, commercial or non-commercial including not-for-profit activities) in the Unites States, or (ii) maintains an office or other property within the United States.

B. The name servers listed for all .US domain names must be based within the United States of America or any of its possessions or territories.

Registrant understands and agrees that such information will be verified and will be shared with the .US Registry.

Registrant understands and agrees that if such information cannot be verified, or if Registrant fails to continue to abide by the Nexus Requirements, the registered domain name shall be subject to immediate cancellation.

So, if you have registered .us domain names, and you dont comply with the above mentioned, your domains will be taken away from you (If they find out). So.. whats you secret?

[President Gringo]

I guess its something that is not monitored. I have brought 2, and they are registered to me, with the whois showing a UK address.

But with regards to the .us's i registered, one is for my step daughter who is a US citizen, and the other one is for me to use to trade in the US.

But i think i will change my whois info to my US address. It would be a shame to have hassles further down the line when i can spend a few secs now preventing problems.
