.autos

.autos is a generic top-level domain focused on automobiles and the wider car market. The plural form is a natural fit for sites that present multiple vehicles, brands or automotive services.

The extension can suit dealerships, vehicle marketplaces, manufacturers, repair networks, comparison tools, enthusiast publications and automotive technology projects. A brand, location or vehicle category before .autos can create an address whose subject is clear before a visitor opens the site.

The namespace originally launched with registrant eligibility verification, but ICANN later approved removal of that verification for .autos, .homes, .yachts and .motorcycles. Standard .autos registration is therefore not limited to verified members of the automotive industry.

That openness does not make a domain proof of dealer licensing, vehicle ownership or manufacturer authorization. Listings, warranties and professional claims still need to be checked independently.

VYR classifies .autos as open, subject to registry policies, reserved or premium names and third-party rights.
