Trends in .gov URLS

State's appear to be moving away from state.xx.us as the standard for state portal URL's to the .gov designation. 20 states, if I counted correctly are now .govs  Nevertheless some states still use the confusing .com or .org URL for their websites. Utah was one of the earliest states to move to the .gov designation and the ease of remembering our website URL's is one small example of good customer service. Unfortunately, we still have a few of our own state agency operated websites designated as .coms and .orgs   This is lessening over time thankfully. If you want to join the utah.gov family of agency websites and you have not done so, send an email  for eligibility and 'how to" instructions. For most, it is a pretty straight forward and I think, a customer friendly process. We encourage any state or local government entity (political sub-divisions of state government) to apply. There is no charge for this service. Sorry, commercial or private non-profits are not eligible.
