Holtti.xyz – Internet.bs customer (United States)
Holtti.xyz is the central source for all things related to Alexander Holtti, the social media superstar. Holtti is most well known for his videos on the platform Vine, which attracted more than 3.5 million followers. Now, you can catch him performing for his 460,000 YouTube subscribers and 390,000 Instagram followers. And if you want to be like Alexander Holtti, you too can get a .xyz domain to use for not just your website, but for your personal email address too.
It’s pretty common for individuals to register either their FirstName.xyz, FirstNameLastName.xyz, or LastName.xyz for their personal websites and portfolios. Our favorite is LastName.xyz, because that allows you to create a cool [email protected] email address, like [email protected]. Best of all, you can then create personalized email addresses for your whole family (tip: these make for great stocking stuffers around the holidays)!
Mastodon.xyz – OVH customer (France)

This means Mastodon.xyz is capable of staying online longer and being accessed easily by people all around the world, giving the network a leg up in areas with limited Internet access or tight policing. Best of all, this unique use of .xyz domains can be copied and employed by anyone who wants to create their own instance!
