# GoDaddy set to lose .us registry role to Identity Digital, raising domain risk concerns

GoDaddy is losing its position managing the .us country-code domain, with Identity Digital set to take over the registry contract, according to domainincite.com. The report suggests the transition could put some existing .us domain registrations at risk, though the exact mechanism and timeline were not detailed in the available text. The .us domain is the United States' official country-code top-level domain and has seen declining registration numbers in recent years. A change of registry operator for a national domain is a significant event, since it can affect pricing, policy and renewal processes for registrants.

## in plain words

GoDaddy is reportedly losing control of the .us website addresses to a company called Identity Digital. The report warns that some people's .us domain names could be affected by the switch. .us is the official web address ending for the United States.
