.xyz Domains
.xyz domain registration, with nothing hidden behind the price tag

The Extension
Why .xyz?
When .xyz launched in 2014 it carried no meaning whatsoever, and sold that emptiness as the point: an extension you could bolt onto anything. Startups took it up, creative projects too, and the best-known adopter is Alphabet, whose corporate home sits at abc.xyz. Meaning nothing, it also ages nothing. Its register still holds brief names that the older extensions ran out of decades back.
First-year pricing on .xyz tends to be generous, and that is exactly where our habit earns its keep. We print the renewal figure alongside the registration figure before any money changes hands. What year two costs becomes something you already knew, not something that ambushes you twelve months on.
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

Open meaning
Nothing about the extension suggests an industry or a nationality. Whatever you build there supplies the meaning.
Real availability
The register is young enough that three-, four- and five-letter names survive.
Renewal honesty
Cheap opening years are common on .xyz, and ours puts the second year right next to it.
Common Questions
Questions about .xyz
Is .xyz taken seriously?
More than it once did. Alphabet putting abc.xyz on its letterhead did most of the persuading, and plenty of startups came along behind. The address now reads as current and chosen on purpose. In conservative trades, mind you, a classic extension still lands more gently.
Why does the renewal cost more than my first year does?
Registries lean on year one to win registrations on newer extensions. Which is why we set the renewal price next to the registration figure. Budget around the renewal number and the cheap first year reads as a decent start instead of bait.
Are .xyz domains good for email?
Mailboxes on .xyz behave like mailboxes anywhere else. A handful of twitchy spam filters still eye the newer extensions with suspicion, so send test messages early if email carries your business. The other option: keep mail on a classic extension and run the site on .xyz.
