I now have my complete domain name portfolio moved to PremiumDomains.US, which is a great generic domain name I acquired years ago (a companion to PremiumDomains.biz). I always wanted to solidify my plan for expanding premium domain sales into the U.S. market.

It’s taken 10 days (or 60+ tedious hours) to learn the software, customize the site, expand its functionality, and load domains one by one into the database. Sitting, staring, and concentrating have become my new talents! And my expletive skills have been honed to a fine point. Actually, I may have developed an irreversible case of Tourette’s syndrome.

There is a convenient “Buy now” link for launching a domain purchase through Escrow.com. The search functions are just right, and have been scaled down since my portfolio is way smaller than an Afternic or Sedo.

The good news is that ccTLD’s continue to reach outward and upward globally. Various blogs and forums are currently discussing what appears to be a new growth curve building for ccTLD’s. I suspect we’ll be hearing about, and seeing, much more attention given to the ccTLD market.   

PremiumDomains.US will undergo upgrades and enhancements moving forward. Feel free to check out the site & offer suggestions for improvement. Have a good day!

I recently wrote about viewing Tena.US on network television and being pleased that the United States domain, .US, was getting some real play in the mainstream.

Another company now marketing under the .US domain is Aldi on Aldi.US. Aldi are a supermarket department store who carry approximately 1400 items. The company has over 1000 stores in 29 states located between Kansas and the East Coast.

Aldi appear to operate a developed website in many languages and have registered their company name in a number of ccTLD extensions. The .com acts as a global portal and delivers the visitor to a country specific website fitting his or her language of choice.

Most impressive is that each Aldi website is customized to offer unique products native to the country that is selected. This is the new angle in modern day marketing. I first saw this in a CNBC piece on Walmart (who are expanding into China). They don’t sell the same products in a Chinese Walmart that you would find in America. The products are selected based on the particular culture and tastes of the indigenous population.

Aldi.US –> bringing America’s products to America’s official website address. Note that TV advertising is still very viable in the USA and is a great platform for promoting the .US web address.
