Why you might not choose .AUTO

While .AUTO is clear, there are a few considerations:
  • Broad meaning: It does not specify a niche without branding.
  • Recognition: Less familiar than .COM for auto businesses.
  • User habits: Some visitors may still default to .COM.
  • Brand fit: Best suited for auto-related projects.

Because of these factors, Website.com currently focuses on proven, widely recognized extensions such as .COM, .NET, and .ORG that deliver consistency, affordability, and broad recognition. .AUTO domains are not currently available for registration through Website.com.
