Namecheap has been showing .xyz a lot of love recently, and it’s not just because we turned 2 in June. No – this week we are recognizing Namecheap for a truly historic achievement – reaching their 1,000,000th .xyz registration. In honor of this amazing accomplishment, we are delighted to highlight some of our favorite .xyz websites that have been built by Namecheap’s own customers.
As only one of three registrars that have reached this milestone (we’re looking at you, Chengdu West and Uniregistry), Namecheap has set itself apart as a key player in helping us connect a global community of pioneers we call #GenXYZ. The innovation taking place on .xyz domains registered at Namecheap can be found in industries and locations all over the world. See for yourself with a first look of the poster and use cases below:
NotebookAndEarth.xyz – Namecheap customer (Azerbaijan)
Olga, Farida, and Ni are three adventurers from Azerbaijan that share their stories online with their blog, Notebook and Earth. They cover a wide variety of topics from food to fashion and everything in between, so readers can enjoy real experiences told by real people. Make sure to check out their site before your next jetset for some interesting and entertaining travel advice.
Dino.xyz – Namecheap customer (India)
Dino helps your company attract like-minded individuals with a real-time look into your team’s culture. Instead of an outdated career page, Dino integrates with your Slack chat and brilliantly suggests the most interesting and entertaining updates to post into your team’s public feed. Why did they choose the name Dino? According to their website:
“You know how hard it is to find a good .com domain. We could not. Which is how we arrived at the first name for our app – dino. It stands for did not find domain. [Then] we just [made] it shorter, to just dino.” –Dino.xyz
Comuzi.xyz – Namecheap customer (United Kingdom)
Comuzi takes a unique approach to digital design to create the next generation of digital products and services. With global clients like the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Communications and Information Technology and Forbes Global 2000 Company, Petro Rabigh, Comuzi needed a global domain name – like Comuzi.xyz! Be sure to check out their innovative solutions including Medic Bleep, a secure communication app for hospitals and medical professionals.
JLin.xyz – Namecheap customer (United States)
“You don’t just do a startup. You do it because you want to solve a problem so bad.” – Wise words from Jason Lin. Part portfolio, part research, and part projects make up this visual, well-designed personal site. Just based on what you see so far on JLin.xyz, there’s no doubt that Jason will change the world with his .xyz. Jason had this to say about why he chose a .xyz domain:
“The moment I chose XYZ was because as a Gen Y myself, I know it best represented creative minds like people of our generation.” -Jason Lin, Creator of JLin.xyz
These are just some of the many great websites we’ve seen built by Namecheap customers. It’s clear that no matter what your idea or passion is, .xyz has a place for you. We are proud to call Namecheap our partner and look forward to continuing to offer an open and accessible internet together – one million .xyz domains at a time.
Summer is ending and school is just around the corner. Thinking about the new things you’ll learn this year is exciting, but switching your brain back to school mode can be a challenge.

DoverStreet.xyz – 123 Reg customer (United Kingdom)
As summer blockbusters start to leave the silver screen, it’s time to turn our attention to the smaller stories that fill our everyday lives. #WebsiteWednesday is dedicated to hunting down those hard-to-find .xyz stories and sharing them with the world. From an adaptation of a book by an obscure author, to a new take on the British period drama, this week’s #WebsiteWednesday makes sure to tell the stories that really need to be told – we can’t wait to introduce you to the storytellers: DoverStreet.xyz.
Formerly DoverStreetEntertainment.com, the UK-based film and television production company now redirects their old domain to the shorter and more memorable DoverStreet.xyz. Started as a vision on opposite shores of the Atlantic by Graeme A. Scott and Kathy A. LoPrimo, Dover Street pairs numerous Academy and Emmy Award winning directors, producers, and cinematographers from around the world with smaller stories that would otherwise go unnoticed. This has resulted in unforgettable and powerful works that have appeared on the BBC, Channel 4, Showtime, PBS, and HBO.
We are always amazed by the incredible stories created by our end users around the world, and if Dover Street’s 2016 slate is any indication, they have quite a few tales in store for us. One of their current projects, The Last Hope, is directed by Academy Award winner Karen Goodman. The international cast and crew travels to different locations around the world to chronicle the journey of a little-known Italian NGO called Emergency, which provides free medical aid to people impacted by war.
With a mission of telling the stories that need to be told to the widest audience possible, Dover Street made the right choice by switching to a .xyz domain that is not only recognized on both sides of the pond, but also around the globe. DoverStreet.xyz sheds light on incredible tales and is an inspiration for all of #GenXYZ. Grab your .xyz domain to start sharing your own untold stories today.

August 17th marks the day Indonesia declared their independence and became their own country. This momentous event is honored each year with countless festivities, including street decorations, flag hoisting ceremonies, and lively parades throughout the country. Though Indonesia is made up of over a hundred ethnic groups and a thousand islands, the country proudly celebrates unity on this day by holding special events at the same time across the country.
What makes this exciting time so special is that people from all generations get together and appreciate a common moment in history. Young and old, near and far, #GenXYZ enjoys celebrating with our growing global community. So as a tribute to their independence day celebration, our #WebsiteWednesday features some of our favorite .xyz websites from all over Indonesia.
