What is a .cab domain?
.cab is an open generic top-level domain managed by Binky Moon, LLC, the registry company operated through Identity Digital Inc. of Bellevue, Washington. IANA delegated it on 17 December 2013 to its original applicant, Half Sunset, LLC, and it moved to Binky Moon in March 2018 along with 195 other extensions.
The zone is DNSSEC-signed and is aimed at transport and travel services. Nothing about your business is checked at registration.

Which Indian transport businesses use .cab?
.cab suits Indian cab operators who sell rides by phone and WhatsApp: outstation taxi services, airport transfers, fleet owners and tempo-traveller rentals. The ending tells a traveller what you do before the page loads, so the label in front can be a route or a city.
| Business | Example name | Why .cab reads well |
|---|---|---|
| Outstation taxi service | jaipurdelhi.cab | The route is the name; the service is the ending |
| Airport transfer desk | goaairport.cab | Short enough for a signboard at arrivals |
| Fleet owner attached to app aggregators | sharmafleet.cab | Own booking page alongside the apps |
| Pilgrimage and hill-station trips | chardham.cab | Seasonal demand under one memorable address |
| Employee transport contractor | officeshuttle.cab | Signals a transport vendor to HR and admin teams |
Tour operators whose main product is the itinerary rather than the vehicle usually fit .tours better.

Prices read from WebJi® billing on 4 November 2026. Short words such as city names may be registry premiums, priced before payment.
Do you need a taxi permit to register .cab?
No. The .cab registry asks for no transport permit, RTO registration or fleet proof; anyone can register an available name. Your permits matter for operating the business, not for the domain. The registry does require accurate contact details and use within its acceptable-use policy.
- Holder: an individual driver, proprietor or registered company.
- Name rules: 2–63 letters, digits and inner hyphens; terms of 1 to 10 years.
- Privacy: WHOIS privacy where the registry allows it, so a driver’s home address is not published.
- Invoice: INR with 18% GST; GSTIN optional.
.cab vs .taxi vs .in for a cab business
If you want a transport ending at the lowest cost, .cab beats .taxi by ₹4,909 in year one; if most bookings come from Indian travellers searching locally, a city-plus-service .in name is the cheapest route at ₹1,000 a year. The ending does not change rankings; your Google Business Profile, reviews and a fast booking page drive local calls.
Many operators hold both: the .in as the main site and the .cab as a short name painted on vehicles, redirecting to it.
After registering a .cab domain
Point the .cab name to a host and add a booking form or click-to-WhatsApp button, and it is ready for customers. A fare and route site fits on shared hosting from ₹299 a month, and a bookings@ mailbox runs on business email. Keep auto-renew on so the name painted on your cars never expires.
