Ak.us is ...click here to sum up this website!

Ak.us is the second-level domain for geographic-based domains in the state of Alaska. No domain will exist with this exact name, any domains that are organized as part of this will be a subdomain. This type of domain follows the standard for geographic-based domains in the .US top-level domain which is for the United States. The next level below Ak.us is either "state" for state government, an educational facility (like K12 for schools, CC for community colleges, LIB for libraries, etc.), or the name of a city or county. Below that is the particular domain, which can be a particular organization, person or agency.

Here are some examples:

• somelib.lib.Ak.us - A Library located in Alaska
• state.Ak.us - State government (may also use Alaska.GOV or AK.GOV)
• someschool.K12.Ak.us - An elementary school
• ci.somecity.Ak.us - City government of Somecity
• co.somecounty.Ak.us - County government of Somecounty
• somecompany.somecity.Ak.us - A company located in Somecity

Note that being under a locality-based domain does not mean that the domain is actually located in that locality. For example, Paul Robinson owns the domain paul.washington.dc.us, even though he does not live in Washington, DC, and this domain has never been operated from a server in the District of Columbia.
