About the .CARS domain

What is the .CARS domain?

The .cars is a generic top-level domain managed by XYZ.COM LLC, the same registry responsible for .auto, .autos and .car. Unlike its singular counterpart, .car, which requires verified affiliation with the automotive industry, .cars is open to anyone — car clubs, repair shops, dealerships or media outlets — with no need to provide special documentation. However, it shares with its sibling extensions a notably high reference price in the market, with premium names reaching several thousand dollars a year depending on the registrar.
