History of the TLD
The .taxi domain is a generic top level domain introduced to serve the transportation and taxi service industry. It was made available through ICANN’s New gTLD program and is managed by Minds + Machines Group Limited. The extension was created to provide taxi companies, ride-hailing services, and related businesses with a dedicated online identity that communicates their service type.
Main Use and Industry Position
.taxi is primarily used by taxi operators, private hire services, ride-sharing companies, and booking platforms. It offers clear industry branding and helps customers easily identify taxi and transportation services online.
Comparison to Other TLDs
Compared to generic TLDs like .com or .net, .taxi offers niche relevance for the transportation industry. Similar to other service-focused TLDs like .car or .cab, it allows businesses to differentiate their brand in a competitive market. Generic TLDs offer broader appeal but less immediate recognition for taxi-related businesses.
