Domain hacks that land on .us
A .us domain hack is a domain that reads as an everyday word once you span the dot, with the .us ending spelling the last two letters. So "opus" becomes op.us, "bonus" becomes bon.us, and "focus" becomes foc.us. The word lives across the dot, which makes these names short, easy to say, and easy to remember. The classic real example is del.icio.us, the original spelling of the Delicious bookmarking site, which used .us to finish the word. Hacks like these work well for brands because the name doubles as a real word, so people recall it without effort and type it the way they already say it. The trick is finding a word that ends in "us" and reads cleanly when split at the dot.

FAQ
What is a .us domain hack?
It is a domain that spells a real word by reading across the dot, with the .us extension forming the final two letters. For example, op.us reads as opus and bon.us reads as bonus.
Are .us domain hacks good for branding?

Type the full domain, such as foc.us, into the search box on domainsearch.sh and it will show whether the name is available to register.
Is there anything unusual about .us domains?
.us is the country code for the United States, and registrants are generally expected to have a connection to the US, so check the current registration requirements before you commit to one.
