2019: Prolongation of the contract with NTIA for management of the domain. US

The national U.S. Administration on telecommunications and information (NTIA) announced that it prolonged the contract for management of a national top-level domain. US with Neustar company. Validity period of the prolonged contract makes 10 years. Thus, till 2029 Neustar will remain the operator of the domain. US which manages since 2001, reported on July 22, 2019 in "The coordination center of domains. RU/.RF" with reference to the Domain Name Wire resource.

The contract does not provide any payments for benefit of Neustar from the American government, however the company receives all means from registration transactions in a domain zone.

. US is the national domain of the United States of America. For July, 2019 in it more than 2 million names are registered. At the same time their vast majority belongs state to the organizations and organizations. Unlike national domains of many other countries, the domain. US did not become "" for Americans. This results from the fact that development of mass Internet began in the USA, and many American users sincerely consider to this day that the national domain of their country is the domain.COM, the first gained general fame, noted in "The coordination center of domains . RU/. RUSSIAN FEDERATION".

2018: Removal of prohibition on use of swear words at registration of domains. US

Fuck.us: The USA withdrew ban on a mat at registration of domains

Prohibition on use of a taboo word long was an object of sneers in the USA – at least on the ground that existence of the list of the words prohibited to the publication already means their publication in this list. But not sneers, but quite serious complaint filed about Neustar actions by Electronic Frontier Foundation human rights organization and Harvard Law School became the reason of canceling of prohibition. Human rights activists and lawyers were perturbed by blocking in 2017 of the domain fucknazis.us registered for fund raising on fight against growth of the right extremism in the USA.

It is probable to avoid similar a situation, the American authorities and the company registrar went for change of conditions. Since September, 2018, users in the USA can use in domain names swear words without restrictions. The website fucknazis.us earned again.

As notes Electronic Frontier Foundation, the ICANN non-profit organization which manages all address space of the World Wide Web, introduces doubtful rules from time to time, but prohibition on swear words was never included into their number. Top-level domain. US is controlled by the American government which sets own rules. Originally this domain was used only for the state websites, but then it was open for everyone.[1]
