One Day Only Auction Featuring Premium Domains
This auction will feature 6 premium .xyz domains. Because Taobao and Alibaba are such great partners with XYZ, these domains are coveted short character domains (two 2N, two 2L and one 3N and one 3L .xyz domain names). And these domain names will have NO RESERVE PRICES! These domains will have winners!
As an added bonus for our loyal Chinese supporters, these domains have been removed from our variably priced premium list, which means they will renew at the standard prices, rather than premium renewal prices.

We have submitted applications for all of our TLDs for accreditation and are in the final stages of the approval process. Once approved, the next generation of internet users will be able to host their creative, beautiful .xyz websites in China!
XYZ Going to China in May!

At XYZ, we are rooted in connecting people across the world and wanted to take the time to observe one of the biggest celebratory weeks in Japan – Golden Week. Golden Week is a seven day celebration of four national holidays – Showa Day (the birthday of former Emperor Showa), Constitution Day (honoring the present Constitution of Japan), Greenery Day (a day dedicated to the environment and nature), and Children’s Day (a day where families pray for the health and future success of their children).
As the most popular new domain extension in Japan, we wanted to draw attention to some of the great use cases we’ve seen from Japanese businesses and individuals, in honor of Golden Week:
ThatStore.xyz – Onamae customer (Japan)
ThatStore.xyz is a fashion eCommerce site that sells everything from shirts, pants, and shoes to soaps, custom made bags, accessories, gadgets and more. With countless options, it’s the perfect site to check out gifts for friends and family or if you’re looking for a stylish t-shirt for yourself. By using .xyz, That Store has been able to create global brand recognition through uniformity in their social media handles: Facebook.com/ThatStore.xyz and Instagram.com/ThatStore.xyz.
Kisaburo.xyz – Onamae customer (Japan)
Kisaburo.xyz was started by an individual who wanted to break down the boundaries between Japanese and Western fashion, as well as men’s and women’s clothing, by focusing on a new era of kimono designs and collections. Kisaburo.xyz, the official website for Kisaburo’s fashion line, is another great example of a next generation internet user innovating with his Name.xyz.
BONUS: GPS.rent – Onamae customer (Japan)
GPS.rent is a real-time GPS tracking service that offers transmitters/devices for rent for use in your car, bike, mobile device, personal computer…anything really. As the new web address for gps-service.sakura.ne.jp, there is a clear reason why this business chose to use a short and memorable domain name such as GPS.rent: it’s industry-specific, international, and the domain doubles as a call-to-action.
These are just a few of the many diverse use cases we’ve seen in Japan recently. We look forward to celebrating your .xyz with you beyond Golden Week as we continue to grow and connect audiences everywhere. What are you celebrating this month? Tweet us @xyz and subscribe to our newsletter to stay up-to-date on all things .xyz.
ACTIVATR.xyz – 123-reg customer (Germany)
With Spring comes new beginnings and new opportunities: It’s a time that calls for change, as we look past the hardships and prepare for a brighter future. With the recent and unexpected passing of the legendary artist Prince, we can’t help but look back and appreciate his vision and the impact he has had on so many generations. By successfully carving his own path, Prince opened the door to challenging the status quo and taking risks – much in the same way as entrepreneurs and startups are doing now. And it’s those risks that turn CEO’s into Pioneers. So in honor of Prince (one of our favorite pioneers) we chose a #WebsiteWednesday that is unearthing the potential of those with great ideas and helping them take risks to pave a new road to industry success: ACTIVATR.xyz.
ACTIVATR.xyz is a program that connects entrepreneurs (“startup talents”) with intrapreneurs (“corporate talents”) from well-established companies, creating a breeding ground for innovation while enriching the startup community and driving the development of sustainable new businesses. These two groups are teamed up and given the tools to succeed by progressing through multiple exercises with the guidance and support of mentors and industry professionals. At the end of each “phase,” the team must pitch to a group of judges to highlight how their ideas have developed over time.
The three ACTIVATR phases are: the Ideation Lab, where the team develops their vision; the Discovery Lab, where the team evolves their business model; and the Corporate Campus, where the business is developed and competes in the market. Think of it as the lifecycle stages of a flower: a seed is planted, it starts to germinate, and then it grows into it’s final product while still affected by external (and internal) factors.
Nobody can deny that without Prince, the world would be a much less interesting place. We would argue that ACTIVATR.xyz is doing the same thing by giving others the opportunity to enrich their ecosystem while helping them maximize their expertise. We’re happy to see that ACTIVATR shares our drive for exploration and connection among like-minded talents to help sculpt future generations of pioneers. Well done, ACTIVATR, we dig it.
Milk.xyz – United Domains customer (United States)
There’s no shortage of things buzzing this spring: fashion trends, music happenings, tech innovations, and world events. As the temperature continues to rise, so does our thirst for new content and all things pop culture. We’re an “always-on” generation and the need for new and unique material has never been greater (and more fragmented). This week’s #WebsiteWednesday is here to quench your newsworthy cravings all in one spot at Milk.xyz.
Previously Mi.lk, Milk recently upgraded their domain to the universally-friendly Milk.xyz for their online editorial platform, built to showcase the most innovative talent in fashion, music, art and film. It is a hub for nurturing creativity, highlighting some of the most visionary leaders and brands in the world today. Milk’s comprehensive content will keep you abreast of everything trending from fashion, beauty, and art, to music, tech, and world news – with an innovative edge. Their website covers the full spectrum of contemporary culture and allows you to experience the traditional while embracing the unknown.
Maybe you’re headed to weekend 2 of Coachella and want the inside scoop on who to see, where to go, and what to wear; or perhaps you’re one of those people that can’t get enough of new tech trends like self-lacing sneakers (remember those from Back to the Future)? Either way, Milk covers the X, Y, and Z of pop culture and can fit into anyone’s breakfast routine. As the staple ingredient fueling your content consumption needs, you can now add Milk to your morning without the trip to the grocery store.
Milk.xyz has no expiration date and delivers fresh content daily. Just like .xyz, it appeals to the masses and pushes the boundaries to explore what’s out there, while creating a platform that breeds an ultra-culturalized world.
