.al.us domains list

What is .al.us TLD

The .al.us namespace functions as a geographic subdomain within .us, reserved primarily for entities connected to Alabama. In practice, .al.us domains serve local government, education, and community organizations that follow locality rules inherited from the original .us structure. For visibility context, we currently index 72 active .al.us domains and observe 29 live .al.us websites across our crawl, indicating a compact, policy-driven namespace rather than a commercial one. Because eligibility and naming conventions emphasize public service and place, adopters typically map city, county, and school identities consistently. We provide longitudinal measurements, DNS health, and content signals to help compare .al.us websites with peer jurisdictions. Download webatla’s .al.us datasets for deeper, state-level analysis.

History and key features of .al.us TLD

The .al.us space traces to the 1990s locality model of .us, where hierarchical naming aligned domains to states and municipalities. Key features of .al.us domains include geographic eligibility, public-sector orientation, and structured third-level labels that aid discoverability and trust. From our infrastructure perspective, 29 have active DNS, helping us assess uptime, nameserver diversity, and security posture across .al.us websites. Usage is concentrated in 1 country, reflecting the namespace’s US-centric mandate and governance. These characteristics produce stable, low-churn inventories suited to longitudinal benchmarking rather than rapid growth. We standardize host classifications, crawl cadence, and resolver telemetry so analysts can compare like for like across counties and districts.

Why and who choose the .al.us domain

Organizations choose .al.us when they need clear Alabama affiliation, public trust, and policy-aligned naming. Typical registrants include municipal agencies, county offices, school districts, and public programs; commercial adoption of .al.us domains is limited and often policy-restricted. Recent activity is quiet: we detected 0 new registrations last week and 0 in November 2025 overall, consistent with steady rather than speculative growth in .al.us websites. For stakeholders comparing procurement portals, emergency services, or K‑12 presence, the namespace’s small scale – anchored by 72 active domains and 29 live websites – simplifies coverage, but still benefits from rigorous crawl analytics. We provide entity mapping, renewal risk signals, and change tracking to support oversight and benchmarking. Download .al.us datasets from webatla to benchmark your sector.
