.xyz Domains
.xyz domain registration, the tag tells the whole story
The deliberately meaningless extension — which is its charm. No trade implied, no country attached, and the short name you want is very likely still free. Register from $2.99/yr — the renewal figure is printed right beside it.

The Extension
Why .xyz?
.xyz arrived in 2014 with no meaning at all, and made that the pitch: an extension for anything, adopted by startups, creative projects and — famously — by Alphabet for its corporate home at abc.xyz. Because it implies nothing, it dates nothing, and its register still holds short names the older extensions lost decades ago.
It is often kindly priced in year one, which is precisely when our habit matters: the renewal price is printed beside the registration price before you pay, so the year-two cost is a fact you knew rather than a surprise you meet.
Good Fit
.xyz works best for
- Projects that don't fit any traditional extension
- Short, memorable names long gone in .com
- Experiments, launches and side projects
- Resellers stocking budget-friendly client names

Common Questions
Questions about .xyz
Is .xyz taken seriously?
More than it used to be — Alphabet's use of abc.xyz did the heavy lifting, and plenty of startups followed. It reads as modern and deliberate, though for conservative industries a classic extension still lands softer.
Why is the renewal price different from the first year?
Registries often subsidise year one on newer extensions. That is exactly why we print the renewal beside the registration — budget on the renewal number and year one becomes a pleasant start rather than bait.
Are .xyz domains good for email?
They work like any other domain. A small number of over-zealous spam filters treat newer extensions warily, so if email is mission-critical, test early — or keep mail on a classic extension and the site on .xyz.
