(e.g., johnsmith.us, publicservice.us, mycompany.us).
Market research has shown that .US names are very popular with consumers for applications like email, digital identity, and personal web sites. Government and public interest organizations use .US addresses to enable citizen-centric e-Gov applications and to serve the needs of the American people.
