    ASTANA.us - Does it have any value? Astana is a capital of Kazachstan (yes the motherland of Borat)

    None what-so-ever because its .us and Kazakhstan is.. well.. not in the US.

    Search engines dont weigh .com any differently than .us for SEO.

    You wouldnt be able to sell it to anyone for much. It doesnt make much sense but I never said it was bad.

    From an SEO point of view, the extention doesn't matter. From a resale point of view, only worth reg fee.

    aren't .us domains geo-targeted to the US? In Google Webmaster, .us names are locked in as a location preference and can't be changed.

    Yeah, you're pretty much excluding the only population that would care to visit such a domain name by keeping it domestic to the U.S. Not that Astanians aren't able to access it but Google for instance won't even let geospot it.
