We have some very good news to share with our supporters in China: we have acquired our Chinese business license! In 2016, we expect XYZ to be one of the first non-Chinese registries to be fully MIIT accredited. Not only will you be able to host your .xyz websites in China, but we expect the popularity of .xyz should grow significantly in the new year.
To celebrate, some of our partners in China have .xyz for sale! To see a list of available 3-character and 6-number domains, visit www.gen.xyz/premiums, then go to one of our partners’ websites below to secure your new domains:
Starship.xyz – GoDaddy customer (Estonia & United Kingdom)
After featuring Lune.xyz and their creative use of virtual reality, we’ve been keeping a close watch on the anticipated technology innovations in 2016. As usual, we can expect new updates and features to existing technologies like smartphones, computers, wearable tech, and drones. However, it isn’t often that we come by developments that are true pioneers, which is why we’re excited to announce this week’s #WebsiteWednesday: Starship.xyz.
Featured in The New York Times, CNBC, BBC, and many other major publications, Starship.xyz is on a mission to improve the local delivery industry with the use of robots. The Co-Founders of Skype, Ahti Heinla and Janus Friis, are manufacturing autonomous plastic robots programmed to deliver packages right to your doorstep. We’ve been hearing talks of using drones for delivery services, but the great thing about these new delivery robots is that they are completely land based – making them safer and less costly.
Here’s how it works: when you place an order, the delivery is collected and put into a Starship robot at a local hub. Using its GPS system, cameras, gyroscopes and other pre-installed mapping data, these robots can transport up to 20 pounds to be delivered to your door. They’ve also incorporated a mobile app feature with geolocation tools so users can track their deliveries from start to finish.
Not only are these robots extremely impressive from a technology standpoint, they also drive down the cost of deliveries – which saves you money. According to Starship, they cost about the same as a vacuum cleaner to manufacture and consume less energy than a light bulb. But instead of cleaning your rug, they can do the work of delivery trucks and services with zero environmental footprint. And if anything were to happen, we can all agree that your vacuum breaking is less upsetting than crashing a brand new drone. Heinla and Friis are aiming to bring the cost of deliveries down by a factor of 15 – charging just $1 per delivery.
Robot technology + saving money = huge success!
We will definitely keep an eye on our friends in Estonia and can’t wait as they set new industry standards. It’s always great to find yet another modern, innovative business that has chosen a .xyz domain to align with the nature of their ideas.
P.S. If you haven’t already heard the news – today’s the day for .Security, .Protection, and .Theatre domains! They are now globally available with no premium or reserved names. Check out our announcement here and learn more at www.Go.Security and www.Go.Theatre.
EVERYTHING IS AVAILABLE.
#GenXYZ
We are excited to announce that any business, organization, or individual can now register .Security, .Protection, and .Theatre domains. With these domains launching into general availability this morning, you can now secure secure short, authoritative names and establish yourself as a leader in your field.
Another thing to get excited about is that there are no premium or reserved names. That’s right – all .Security, .Protection, and .Theatre domains have been made available for standard registration fees. That means you can secure just about any 1-character, 2-character, geographic name, or keyword on a first-come, first-served basis. Now is your chance to reserve highly desirable domains like 1.Security, Travel.Protection and Comedy.Theatre that will take your online presence to the next level.
During our trademark holder exclusive registration period, we saw some great names registered like MerrillLynch.Security, Intuit.Protection, BroadwayAcrossAmerica.Theatre, and TaylorSwift.Theatre. But fear not, #GenXYZ, there are still extremely valuable domains available including:
Are you ready for the best part? For a limited time, you can take advantage of our migration service and have your website transitioned to your new web address at no cost. To learn more, contact us once you’ve registered your new .Security, .Protection, or .Theatre domain.
You can register your .Security, .Protection, and .Theatre domains at retailers worldwide, including GoDaddy, Name.com, and 101domain. You can also learn more at https://go.protection and https://www.Go.Theatre.
Excited about your new domains? Show some love for @Security and @TheatreTLD on twitter and get your site featured!
Cheers!
We are happy to announce the long awaited release of variably priced premiums for both .xyz and .College! You can now register those short, memorable .xyz and .College names that everyone has been waiting for. In case you didn’t catch our first post about these domains, here is a crash course on variably priced premiums:
Variably priced premium domains typically have popular search and industry-specific keywords, like music.xyz or community.College. Due to their value and scarcity, they’re considered “premium” names and are available to register at a price relative to their value.
Letters and numbers are also popular variably priced premium names. Since there are only 10 numerical characters and 26 letters in the alphabet, some of the most sought after domains are single-letter and single-number domains.
Long story short: these are the creme de-la creme of .xyz and .College domain names.
Why are we so excited about releasing these variably priced premium names? Because these names are an amazing opportunity for our #GenXYZ family. Your variably priced premium domain can help to advance your personal brand, business, idea, project…. the list goes on and on.
Variably priced domain names can be the foundation for your branding and marketing, while aligning your web address with your mission. Shorter, industry specific names can help your SEO and make you THE authority in your industry or region. Best of all, you’ll get a memorable, highly desirable name that no one can forget.
Exceptions to the rule
In some cases, variably priced premiums are sold by the registry in private sales (like 6.xyz) or auctions (like 88.xyz) for a high upfront fee. In these cases, the variably priced premium renewal rates are waived, and only standard renewal fees apply (recommended standard renewal rate is $10 USD). Customers who would like to make serious offers (high upfront fee and standard renewals) for domains designated as variably priced premiums may contact us.
However right now a – z.xyz and 0,1,2,3,4,5,7 .xyz are now available for registration at premium renewal fees.
Interested in finding out what variably priced premiums were released? Head over to www.gen.xyz/premiums – we have a list of all available variably priced .xyz and .College premiums, complete with recommended retail pricing. As a bonus, we’ve included .Rent variably priced premiums too! If you see a domain or two that you’re interested in, head to your registrar of choice to checkout.
Make sure you share to good news about these variably priced premiums…after you secure the ones you want of course ;)
Cheers!
