This is the story of .xyz—a story about trailblazing and redefining online connectivity.
During the unprecedented challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, XYZ Registry took decisive steps to support its community. Recognizing the financial hardships faced by many, on April 14, 2020, the registry announced the waiver of all redemption fees associated with domain recoveries. Typically, when a domain owner fails to renew and the domain enters redemption, a significant fee can be charged to reclaim it. By waiving these fees on its end and enabling its partners to do the same, XYZ Registry helped alleviate the financial burden on domain owners, ensuring that businesses and individuals could maintain their online presence during these challenging times.
In 2020, as the domain industry faced an increase in pandemic-related malware and phishing attacks, XYZ Registry swiftly responded to these challenges. With a strong history of effectively managing abuse within its zones, the Registry proactively intensified its efforts to combat these malicious activities and safeguard its users. Collaborating with the COVID19 Cyber Threat Coalition and the CTI League, XYZ Registry played an active role in combating cyber threats and securing the online ecosystem with and alongside many other industry players. These partnerships were crucial in enhancing the safety and integrity of the domain space, particularly in the face of increased cyber activities related to the pandemic.
“XYZ turned lemons into lemonade amidst the pandemic, sparking our next bull run. We embraced innovation, paving the way for the popularity of Web3/AI.”
Despite a hectic year in 2020, a silver lining became apparent. XYZ Registry’s .xyz domain ending was gaining notoriety as a beacon for innovation in web3 and AI. Matcha.xyz transformed decentralized finance by optimizing cryptocurrency trades across multiple exchanges, showcasing the domain’s utility for financial tech. Meanwhile, Yours.xyz launched China’s first autonomous delivery vehicles, pioneering AI-driven logistics. These early adopters were just the start – .xyz continues to attract pioneering technologies, affirming its status as a top choice for modern innovators.

On August 7, 2020, XYZ Registry achieved a significant milestone by gaining full ownership of the top-level domains .Cars, .Car, and .Auto.

By fully owning these TLDs, XYZ Registry ensured a more cohesive and controlled growth strategy, enhancing its offerings to the automotive industry and its consumers.

We’re grateful to the community for their unwavering support, which continues to humble us as we move forward into the years ahead.” – Daniel Negari
