Registering a .CAB domain name tips

Each and every .CAB domain name comes with all you need to get online.

Domain Forwarding and Masking: Direct any domain name you own to your website. Anyone who types that domain name into their browser is taken directly to your website.
Domain Locking: Domain locking prevents accidental or intentional transfers of domain ownership and stops anyone from redirecting your nameservers.
Total DNS Control: Manage your domain nameserver (DNS) records and set your email, FTP, sub-domains and website location all from one control panel.
Change of Registration: Assign your domain name to someone else or change the contacts for your domain online anytime.
Status Alerts: Monitor the status of your domain and get instant alerts if there’s been a change.
Auto Renew Protection: No need to watch expiration dates to make sure you renew on time! Auto renew keeps your domains, hosting, website builders, and other products in your name and under your control.
Free WHOIS privacy protection: We redact your name, address, phone number and email from our WHOIS directory.

When registering a .CAB domain name, it’s important to ensure it aligns with your business needs, branding strategy, and audience expectations. Here are some tips to guide you:

1. Define Your Purpose

Target Industry: Ensure that the domain reflects your connection to the transportation, taxi, or cab-related industries.
Clarity: Choose a name that clearly communicates your service to potential customers, e.g., CityCab.cab or QuickRide.cab.
Niche Focus: Consider whether you’re catering to a specific location, market, or service type (e.g., luxury cabs, ridesharing, airport transfers).

2. Prioritize Simplicity

Keep It Short and Memorable: A concise domain like FastCab.cab is easier to remember than a long one.
Avoid Hyphens and Numbers: These can make your domain harder to type and remember.
Match Branding: Use a name consistent with your company’s name or existing branding.

3. Include Keywords

Using industry-specific keywords in your domain can help with SEO and brand recognition.
Examples:
- GreenCab.cab (for eco-friendly cabs).
- AirportCab.cab (for airport-specific services).

4. Research Availability

Check if the name is available on related extensions, especially .COM, to avoid confusion.
Secure social media handles that match your domain for consistent branding.

5. Evaluate Trademark Issues

Ensure the domain doesn’t infringe on any trademarks or existing brand names. Use tools like the USPTO Trademark Search or global databases to confirm.

6. Consider Location-Specific Branding

If your cab service is regionally focused, include the location in your domain name. For example:
- BostonCab.cab
- NYCTaxi.cab

7. Test for User Friendliness

Spellability: Make sure it’s easy to spell and type.
Pronounceability: A domain that’s easy to say is easier to share.
Confusion-Free: Avoid names that could be confused with similar services.

8. Consider Long-Term Use

Choose a name that allows for growth and diversification within the transportation sector. Avoid overly specific names that might limit your offerings later.

9. Secure Related Domains

Protect your brand by registering similar or related domains:
- Variants: YourCabService.com, YourCabService.cab.
- Typos: YourCab.cab and YourCabs.cab.

Bonus Tips:

Use domain suggestion tools if your ideal name is unavailable.
Ensure the domain is mobile-friendly, as most users will access cab services via mobile apps or searches.
