SXSW is one of the annual hubs for creativity and innovation. This year, the #XYZsquad wanted to do something special to showcase some of the amazing projects we’ve seen from #GenXYZ. Thus sparked the creation of the XYZ 3D Lab!
With the custom made XYZ 3D shades (courtesy of the #XYZsquad), visitors can dive into our groundbreaking, three dimensional universe and take part in a challenge based on some of our favorite #WebsiteWednesdays. Using the hidden clues throughout the page, contestants can enter for a chance to win free prizes. Plus, how often do you get to enjoy an epic 3D experience without having to go to the IMAX theatre?
Does the concept of a 3D website sound familiar? That’s probably because you may have stumbled upon our corporate site, XYZ.xyz, in the past. After receiving so much positive feedback about the 3D XYZ logo and web design, we decided to go all out. And we didn’t stop at just the 3D Lab – check out our new 3D signage!
Electrifying 3D universe of innovative .xyz websites? Sounds like the place to be! But don’t take our word for it – check out the 3D lab for yourself at www.gen.xyz/3d and let us know what you think.
Didn’t get a pair of 3D glasses but still want to win great prizes? Once you sign up for the 3D Lab, share this article on Twitter and tag us (@XYZ) and we’ll get back to you on how you can score your 3D shades.
Stay tuned for next week’s recap of all the shenanigans our #XYZsquad got into at SXSW2016!
Tonight marks the first day of the exclusive auction with West.cn, where over 150 premium .xyz domains can be won at no reserve. The auction starts at 9:00pm PDT (04:00 UTC / 12:00 CST) on March 15, with staggered end times ranging from March 16 – March 31.

说到创意两字，我们认为注册一个域名送给你爱的人是多么有意义和难忘啊。快来证明您的爱，注册一个13141414.xyz 来爱我一生一世吧。 或您也可以表达你的爱 220225.xyz 爱爱你爱爱我吧！甚至您可以注册您爱人的名字给他保存起来。这可是一个又有创意又代表未来的使者！还有不要忘了，一个.xyz的域名肯定比哪些会枯萎的花和吃掉的巧克力要更有优惠价哦。

Happy White Valentine’s Day! The XYZ team wants to send our love to all our Chinese supporters! White Valentine’s day is a tradition celebrated in many Asian Countries. On this day, tradition holds that a man should return his feelings to the woman who expressed her feelings to him on February 14th, when a woman presents chocolates and gifts to a man she admires. If the man feels the same way, one month later, he is expected to return the favor through gifts and flowers as well on White Valentine’s Day.
So, to all you men out there, if you are still struggling to find that perfect gift to buy for that woman who gave you something on Valentine’s Day, why not think outside the box? Hit the reset button on the traditional (and boring) flowers and chocolates, just like .xyz hit the reset button on the internet. Be creative and give a gift that lasts after those flowers wilt and the chocolates are eaten – give the gift of a .xyz domain name!
When it comes to the creative gift ideas for White Valentine’s Day, we think registering a domain name to express your love is not only meaningful but also unforgettable! Show your love by registering 13141414.xyz (I will love you forever) or 220225.xyz (I love you, you love me)! You may even want to register your sweetheart’s name to save her that domain before someone else does. Now that’s a considerate and forward-thinking man worthy of dating! Oh, and as an added bonus, a .xyz domain name will cost you less than the price of flowers OR chocolates. So there really is no downside to acting now and registering a .xyz domain!
Some other great examples that are available as (as of the time of writing) include:
Think outside the box and come up with your own!
Please visit www.gen.xyz/premiums for more creative ideas of what .xyz domains to register for your sweetheart this White Valentine’s Day. And don’t forget, our Chinese partners are currently offering a special promotion for .xyz domains for a limited time. Act now before this promotion ends!

XYZ 团队
XYZ is proud to announce that we have partnered with West.cn for a second time to host an exclusive .xyz premium name auction between March 16 – March 31. Over 150 .xyz domains will be auctioned off at no reserve. Many of these domains have never been registered before, since they were originally variably priced premium names, which renewed for a premium fee. However, we have removed these domains from our variably priced premium list so that the winners of these domains will only be responsible for standard renewal fees!
Among the domains being offered, the auction will feature six 2-number, seven 2-letter, ten 3-number, twelve 3-letter, twelve 4-number, eight 4-letter, and five repeating-characters (i.e. xxxxx.xyz & bbb.xyz) – all at no reserve. That means that these domains will sell to the highest bidder, no matter that final price is!
The final domain auction will be for the highly-coveted 1.xyz. With a very reasonable price set, we expect this domain to sell for significantly more than the reserve. Guidelines, rules, and a complete list of domains offered for auction each day can be found here.
The exclusive March auction with West.cn follows our extremely successful auction with them in December 2015. At that time, 9.xyz sold for 1,135,000 RMB, making it one of the highest reported sales in history of a new domain name. You can see a complete list of domains sold in that auction below. Because these domains were sold in auction, the buyers only pay our standard renewal rate for these domains!
| 9.xyz | 1,135,000 RMB |
| 22.xyz | 172,000 RMB |
| 884.xyz | 4,700 RMB |
| yy.xyz | 250,000 RMB |
| zz.xyz | 114,000 RMB |
| 6n.xyz | 22,500 RMB |
| pz.xyz | 54,000 RMB |
| 118.xyz | 50,000 RMB |
| yyy.xyz | 40,000 RMB |
| 189.xyz | 22,500 RMB |
| zzz.xyz | 39,000 RMB |
| xxx.xyz | 43,000 RMB |
| 987.xyz | 26,500 RMB |
XYZ continues to focus on China as one of its most important markets, and we expect adoption to skyrocket after we receive accreditation later this year. As the popularity of .xyz continues to grow, we expect the great domains we’ve included in the West.cn auction to receive a lot of attention from domain investors all over the world.
We are also considering direct sales of variably priced domains. Packages begin at $500,000 USD. Serious offers may be submitted to [email protected].
Happy bidding and good luck!
Team XYZ

Recently we’ve seen many messages on Weibo asking the question, “What is your dream?” This week we want to talk to everyone about our dream here at XYZ and also show you some of the dreams of our .xyz users.
Our dream is to cultivate the global Generation XYZ community where users have the choice, flexibility, and affordability to connect online and reset the Internet.
Last week, we showcased several use cases from tech companies that we thought were really cool. This week we want to highlight individuals and small companies around the world that are also using .xyz in creative and beautiful ways. These individual users are expressing their dreams and passions with a .xyz domain.
One of our favorite websites is IamTK.xyz. TK is a travel blogger who was born in Bangkok, Thailand but now works as a circuit designer in San Diego, CA. What’s TK’s dream? Well, it seems like he loves traveling around the world with his camera and writing about all the places he’s been. It almost feels like you are traveling with him through his photos. Oh, and he also loves to squeeze in some gadget talk here and there in his blogs. Check out how he’s showing off his dream of traveling through his pictures and blog!
Another awesome site is Whenthelightsgodown.xyz. It was set up by a true fan whose dream was to honor the UK-based band, WARNINGS. After WARNINGS disbanded, this fan created a website to showcase the songs he loved and the feelings that came along with listening to music. If you are a music lover, you should check out this website!
Fotokopi.xyz, was started by an independent photographer in Southeast Asia. It’s obvious to see when you visit this site that his passion is photography and his dream is to capture every moment of his life with creativity and craftsmanship. You can see that he strives to not only hone his skills but also to improve his photography each and every day. He wants to use his photos to tell a story with the hope that he can help the people around him to tell their stories through pictures too. Explore his beautiful photography and let it inspire you!
Team XYZ believes that dreams can come true if you put enough effort and passion into them, which is why we are so passionate about working with our friends in China to help them build their dreams. We love showing off the websites of small businesses and individuals pursuing their dreams through a .xyz website. As we move forward with accreditation, we can’t wait to promote some of the cool Chinese sites we will see! We hope these sites will inspire you to pursue your dream, and together, we can help you to fulfill it. Not sure where to start? Visit one of our registrar partners below to get your .xyz domain on sale now. Then add us on Weibo and tell us what your plans are for your new site!
