The domain ".auto" is intended to lead the search on the Internet specifically to providers from the automotive sector.
Names and IP addresses on the Internet are managed by ICANN. These names and addresses can either be allocated directly to requesters or in blocks. Larger blocks go, for example, to organizations that can pass them on.
In February 2014, the internet administration ICANN started to issue new domain extensions. In addition to ".auto", the most popular endings include ".shop", ".web" or ".app". Large cities or tourist regions also like to make use of this option.
In the diversity of the Internet, it is not easy to find specifically what you are looking for. The more general the search, the more undifferentiated the search results. This is a highly unsatisfactory situation for both searchers and providers of products. In order to find and be found more specifically, various strategies can be applied. One possibility would be to choose a domain that already contains the product range directly in the name.
With the domain ".auto" not only offers around the automobile, but also related name components, such as automation, are displayed on the Internet. Also autodidactic offers or areas, like autosuggestion are included thereby. The word "auto" comes from Latin and means "self".
With this domain, providers of vehicles, car magazines, spare parts, suppliers, blogs or forums related to the automobile can increase their awareness and thus their visibility on the Internet. Due to the higher attention, the click numbers increase, which in turn leads to further attention. Competition on the web is high and visibility is key. Without sufficient visibility, customers and thus sales are missing.
In order for customers to visit the websites more often, the addresses must also be easy to remember. For the awareness of web addresses, a crisp and memorable name is advantageous. Domains with the corresponding endings have proven themselves. Thus, a subject area and thus a certain structure is already given. The specific name of the provider can then be placed in the first part of the address name. Thus, the combination of specific provider and subject area also creates an easy-to-remember connection between them.
