Anyone know why some larger cities are not listed? For example, I am noticing that Oakland, CA is missing. This would have been a major city in 1992 when the list was created as well.
- ceejayoz 5mo agoThey have to want one.
- toast0 5mo agoSomeone would have had to have signed up to administer the domain during the time that signups were available. In 1992, I think interest would have been pretty low in general. And once the internet became widely known, something.city.state.us domains were pretty unlikable. About the only thing they have going for them is the low low price of (usually) free.
- cmdoptesc 5mo agoThat Neustar list is horribly outdated from 2009 and didn't list sf.ca.us and had scruz.net as the administrator for san-francisco.ca.us. I checked www.whois.us and oakland.ca.us is administered by locality-support [at] about [dot] us Try sending them an email?
- nickswalker 5mo agoThat indicates that approval has been rolled up into GoDaddy at this point, and you’ll have to get a notarized letter from the city for them to issue you a domain.
- cmdoptesc 5mo agoJust saw your other comment here. That's a bummer. I've been lucky to have never dealt with GoDaddy.
- vineyardmike 5mo agoAny idea who the current SF registrar is?
- cmdoptesc 5mo agoYup! Sonic.net `whois sf.ca.us` will give you the email of the registrar (thanks cogitosum).
- aaronharnly 5mo agoYeah I want to know how to get my local government to register themselves as one of these.
