nTLD domain names

.CARS

There are more than one billion cars in use worldwide--that pretty much makes the auto industry one of the largest retail and ecommerce markets in the world. The new .CARS tld is 'the' extension for online auto organizations to call home. It's perfect for car dealerships, manufacterers, parts dealers, mechanics, body shops, car accessory manufacterers and stores, car racing suppliers--it's even great for bloggers who write about cars and related topics such as racing, etc. If you're in the car and/or auto industry, leverage the new .cars extension to 'drive' business to your site. As the auto industry continues to evolve in order to embrace new, cleaner technologies, .CARS can also be used to promote new energy solutions for auto makers.

The goal of the new .cars gTLD is to provide a new/better way for online car/auto companies to make their websites easily identifiable to their consumers and clients--and to bolster consumer confidence in their brand. Registering a .cars domain extension for your brand will help you grow your business, by letting the world know exactly who you are and what you do--and offer. And it will help enhance advertizing efforts and help you promote your business (and your deals) more effectively online, increasing search rankings.
