may be a dumb ?...what about us.com tld names?

[tylerb]

Is there value to domain names with the us.com ? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

It appears there are a lot of good names to be had with that extension...or am I missing something?

You can probably find a domain on the forums or in the drops that isn't a subdomain for around the same price. But if you don't have thousands to spend on type-in traffic and just want a keyword domain and depend on content and SE traffic any extension will do.

I see... so a .us.com is really a sub-domain and not really a top level domain. Thanks

You can learn more about the us.com domain as well as some others at Joe's site:

Thank you very much. I purchased breastcancer.us.com to go with my other breast cancer type domains and I am not so sure I made a wise investment. I suppose we will see.

Worthless.

How can something be worthless if people buy?

SuckersBornEveryMinute.us.com seens appropriate.

They are selling some domains (subdomains to be exact), but at least they aren't trying to mask them like new.net and a few "alternate root" providers. I certainly woudn't buy them for resale or speculation, but if you really wanted one and it's better than what's currently available, I'd say go for it.

However, bear in mind that if you register domain.us.com, you may just find in a few years the more legitimate domain.com.us version available if the .us domain becomes saturated and they decide to use the now reserved com/net/org subs of .us.
