.US Locality Domains are available to register for free by individuals, businesses, non-profit organizations and other entities qualified to register a .us domain name.[1][2][3]
- For Example
The website for the City of Portland is accessible at http://www.ci.portland.or.us/ (although that URL is automatically redirected to http://www.portlandonline.com/).
Registering A .US Domain Name
“So, would YOU like a free domain name like mine? Can you still get one? Well, that is a very good question.”[4]
According to Neustar's .US Compliance Report, "To register a domain in a delegated zone, the registrant completes a copy of the current .US Domain Template."[5] This document points to a dead link for the US Domain Template v2.0 template, which is actually found here.[6]
Available FAQ pages also don't seem to provide much help with understanding how to register a .US Locality domain name.[7][8]
