Why you might not choose .CAR

While .CAR is clear, there are a few considerations:
  • Broad meaning: It does not specify a niche without branding.
  • Recognition: Less familiar than .COM for many users.
  • User habits: Some visitors may still default to .COM.
  • Brand fit: Best suited for car-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. .CAR domains are not currently available for registration through Website.com.
