inc-domain

The addition incorporated is the addition of many US companies that are registered in the commercial register according to the applicable company law of a US state. It is not necessary for the US company to have its registered office in the US state in which it was entered in the commercial register. Since about the mid-1950s, this US form of company ownership has also been recognized in Germany. For this reason, it is not at all unusual for companies in Germany that originally come from the USA and have a branch office in Germany to be entered in the local commercial register with the designation INC. This recognition of the shareholder form is based on the German-American Friendship Treaty of 1954.

Allocation

Companies that operate as incorporated have the option of registering their website under the .inc domain extension. This top-level domain is well suited for the creation of very short domain names. Domains with the .inc domain extension are issued by Dot Registry LLC, a company founded by Ephraim Gershon. However, a domain with this ending is only issued to companies whose headquarters are in the USA and which operate under the corresponding shareholder form. Accordingly, proof is also required for this.
