.cars registration
.cars is an open domain extension created for the automotive sector. Dealerships, manufacturers, repair shops, rental services, collectors, publishers, clubs, and technology providers can all use it. Registration is available to everyone without eligibility conditions, and names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. A .cars name may contain between 1 and 63 characters. The extension also supports internationalized domain names using many Latin, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Cyrillic characters, plus ß. This makes it possible to create locally relevant addresses for automotive businesses and communities serving different languages and markets. To transfer an existing .cars domain to host.yt, first remove the registrar lock or other transfer protection at your current provider. You must then obtain the domain’s authorization code and submit it with the transfer request. Completion can take several days, and a successful transfer adds one year to the domain’s expiry date. Changing the registered holder requires authentication by both parties. Confirmation emails are sent to the current holder and the proposed new holder, and both must validate the request. If authentication is not completed within five days, the request is cancelled. A holder change does not alter the domain’s existing expiry date. .cars also supports DNSSEC, privacy preferences, DNS management, forwarding, renewal, restoration, and automated management through SOAP and REST APIs.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .cars extension mean?

Who can register a .cars domain?
Anyone can register a .cars domain. There are no location, industry, or organizational eligibility conditions. Available names are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, so a person, business, association, or other organization may register a suitable name while it remains available.
Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .cars?
cars does not require applicants to prove an automotive connection or submit eligibility documents. The chosen label must contain between 1 and 63 characters and be available for registration. Supported internationalized characters allow names in several Latin-based languages and Cyrillic scripts.
Is .cars a good choice, and what projects suit it?
cars is a focused choice for projects whose purpose is clearly automotive. It works well for vehicle sales, servicing, rentals, restoration, reviews, enthusiast communities, parts, fleet services, and automotive software. Its meaning is immediate, so visitors can understand the website’s subject before opening it.
When does .cars make more sense than .com?
cars makes more sense when automotive relevance is central and you want the domain itself to communicate that focus. .com is broader and often more familiar, making it better for diversified businesses. Choose .cars for a specialized automotive identity; choose .com when the brand may expand well beyond vehicles.
How quickly is a .cars domain registered, and how long does it last?
A .cars registration is allocated after the order is successfully processed and accepted by the registry, provided the name is still available. Because allocation is first come, first served, prompt submission matters. The confirmed registration term and expiry date are recorded with the completed registration.
How do I transfer a .cars domain to host.yt?
Disable the registrar lock or other transfer protection with your current provider, request the domain’s authorization code, and submit that code to host.yt with the transfer order. The process may take several days. Once completed, one year is added to the domain’s existing expiry date.
