>I have a client who purchased a .us.com domain name from dotster. I had

> expensive as a regular .com domain name.

> Several days after she reserved the name, we switched the DNS servers on
> her account, to point to my hosting company (dreamhost).  So I know that
> she had that domain listed on her account with dotster.  Then, a couple
> days after that, I went to set up hosting for her, and got a message
> from dreamhost, stating that the domain had not yet been registered.

> I thought that was odd; and maybe it was a timing issue, so I went to
> whois.org and attempted to look up registrant info.  I'm not sure I
> could get to a .us.com domain, maybe it was just a .us.  (leading me to
> wonder, is ".us.com" a "real" domain name?).  In any case, the name I
> found had been registered to someone in Florida since 2005.

> I'm confused.  Does anyone know anything about .us.com domain names?
