It’s safe to say that almost everyone likes a good party. You invite your friends, enjoy the food & festivities, and make sure there’s fun to be had for everyone involved. The celebration, of course, is the best part and will hopefully leave everyone with unforgettable memories. Just like any good party though, there’s always some cleanup to do afterward.
Last week, approximately 50 of our registrar partners, countless resellers, and thousands of customers helped .xyz celebrate our 2 Year Anniversary. In a matter of a few days, over 3 million new .xyz domains were registered. Many of them appear to be registered by start ups, developers, and investors, and we can’t wait to see how the next generation of internet users will use these domains.
However, we also realize that there may be some bad actors in the mix, and we too have some cleaning up to do after the party. XYZ has a zero-tolerance policy toward any of the following abuse-related activities on .xyz or any of our other domain extensions:
So what does XYZ actually do to mitigate abuse?
We have developed a sophisticated abuse monitoring tool which allows us to proactively monitor, detect in near realtime, and suspend domains engaging in any of the above activities, based on evidence. We have developed strong partnerships with many of the industry’s leading data providers to help us identify and eliminate the bad apples from the many good ones that we have in our namespace, which is why there is less than 0.1% abuse in the entire .xyz zone (nTLDstats.com, May 6, 2016).
Once we have identified an abusive domain, we immediately notify the sponsoring registrar. Since we work very closely with our registrar partners, these domains are usually shut down in a very short period of time to prevent any harm to internet users. We then communicate with the registrants (either directly or via the registrar) to help them clean up their websites if they were hacked.
In the off chance that someone catches an abusive domain before our data providers do, we have an abuse feedback system that allows internet users to report abuse 24/7. Please visit our Abuse Page if you have detected a harmful website or abuse from a .xyz domain name. XYZ strives to keep our namespace clean and to make sure that .xyz has the best reputation possible. If you have any feedback or suggestions, send us a tweet @XYZ or contact us.
But a little cleanup behind the scenes doesn’t mean the party is over. We’re only one week into June, which means there’s roughly three more weeks left in our birthday month! Let the good times roll by visiting our 2 Year Anniversary page and register the domain(s) of your dreams today at one of our many registrar partners that are still celebrating this milestone with us.
To celebrate the Chinese New Year for one of our most important markets, we have started a new blog series to honor our loyal supporters in China. Scroll down to read the full post in English.

Dabble.xyz – NamesBeyond customer (United States)
April showers have fallen, May flowers have bloomed, and summer is upon us #GenXYZ. Not only does June mark our 2-Year Anniversary (which means you’ll be seeing some amazing deals on .xyz domains), it also marks the beginning of summer. It’s time for great weather, no school, and most importantly that exciting summer romance. So in honor of those summer nights Olivia Newton John and John Travolta dedicated an entire song to, we brought you a #WebsiteWednesday that would kickstart your dating game this season: Dabble.xyz
With all the dating apps that require clicks, coffee, cocktails, and quirky connections—sometimes we’d like to trust our intuition and let it take us on a path to see what unfolds. Dabble.xyz brings us back to an informal happenstance that involves wit and wisdom, humor and expression, and everything in between. It allows users to express themselves immediately by showcasing the kind of people they are through the gifts they give.
Dabble uses location, age, and other discovery settings to guide you to that special someone. Users can adjust their settings to search for dabblers from the ages of 18-99 within a 3000 mile radius so you can feel confident their app will find a match that is perfect for you. If users are seeking a dabbler over the age of 100 they might need to reach out to the Today Show to try to connect.
We know what you’re thinking: “ANOTHER dating app!” Dabble isn’t just your swipe friendly, chat message dating tool on a phone. Preferences like favorite gift, go to line, and notifications are easily adjusted through the simple interface. If you’d like to stay anonymous as you dabble, you can choose to swipe left or right until a mutual match happens. However, Dabble gives users the option to skip the waiting process of swiping and waiting by making a lasting first impression with a gift. Just like buying a stranger a drink at a bar, Dabble’s in app gift giving feature provides the opportunity to “make a splash by giving virtual gifts to people you really dig!”
With their Gold Drops virtual currency, you can purchase and send gifts to any dabblers that spark your interest, ranging from a virtual coffee (5 Gold Drops) all the way up to a virtual sports car (250,000 Gold Drops). These Gold Drops are added to your wallet daily, but if you need a few more to wow that special someone you can always purchase additional Gold Drops using real currency.
Well done to the founders of Dabble for using their .xyz in a way that represents the creativity and innovation of their idea. Plus, dabble.com redirects to Dabble.xyz – the extension that truly markets to the next generation of internet users.
So what are you waiting for? Memorial Day is almost upon us. Send a dabble with a bike, a burger, and a bottle of Champagne—invite your dabbler to take a ride to watch a parade, eat a tasty Memorial Day morsel, and remember all those who have gone before us with a toast.

一眨眼今年六月我们即将庆祝.xyz成为2岁了！作为国际最受欢迎的顶级域名，这两年来我们不断的努力让.xyz成为每个人必用的新后缀。For every website, everywhere，给下一代互联网使者。
为了感谢Generation XYZ带给互联网更多的选择和创意，我们将在六月回顾客人提供一次最大的促销。
在6月1号－6月2号，我们的注册商会为我们举办两天的全网最低促销。千万不要错过，快来看看有哪些注册商和我们一起庆祝。
六月不仅仅要庆祝我们的2周年，我们也要庆祝端午节。所以在6月3号到6月30号，我们的注册商还会提供一个月的端午促销。
端午节是中国传统的一个节日。除了吃粽子，另一个主要习俗是賽龙舟。历史来源说：“賽龙舟相传起源于古时楚国人因舍不得贤臣屈原投江死去，许多人划船追赶拯救。他们争先恐后，追至洞庭湖时不见踪迹。之后每年五月五日划龙舟以纪念之。借划龙舟驱散江中之鱼，以免鱼吃掉屈原的身体。竞渡之习，盛行于吴、越、楚。”
如果您错过了6月初的2周年促销，我们会延期六月的促销来庆祝端午。所以，踏上您的龙舟来划到我们注册商去注册您最想拥有的.xyz域名吧
感谢所有帮我们成为最受欢迎的国际新顶级域名。中国是互联网的下一代。适用.xyz作为您的域名后缀让我们一起建造下一代吧。.xyz是属于任何网站，任何地方！

As many of you know, .xyz is celebrating a milestone in June as we are marking our 2 year anniversary as the most popular new domain extension in the world! The past two years have truly solidified .xyz as the go-to domain for every website, everywhere for the next generation of internet users.
As a thank you to Generation XYZ for supporting us in bringing choice, accessibility, and innovation to the internet, we are offering our biggest, most spectacular sale ever!
As part of our 2 Year Anniversary celebration, some of our valued Chinese registrar partners will be offering a once-in-a-lifetime sale on June 1 and June 2. This offer only lasts for two days, so don’t miss out on this huge sale by visiting our Chinese partners below.
In celebration of the Dragon Boat Festival (Duanwu Festival), which auspiciously coincides with our 2 Year Anniversary, some of our Chinese Registrar partners are offering a .xyz special for the rest of June.
The Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated during the high summer in honor of the Warring States Period poet and statesman, Qu Yuan. Legend states that Qu Yuan despaired at the loss of his kingdom, and threw himself into the Milou River. The local people who admired him raced out in boats to save his life – or at least distract the fish in the river – by throwing out balls of sticky rice (thus the origin of eating sticky rice wrapped in bamboo leaves or Zongzi during this festival).
But unlike the despair of Qu Yuan, there is no need for despair if you miss the Anniversary sale because this special will run through June 30! So get into your proverbial Dragon Boat and race to our Chinese partners to take advantage of this special (there are Zongzi waiting at the finish line)!
We would like to thank all of our Chinese partners and supporters for helping us take the lead in our “Dragon Boat” by making .xyz the natural ending to all your domain names, adopting .xyz as THE domain extension for the next generation of Chinese internet users, and truly making .xyz for every website, everywhere!
Don’t forget to follow us for the latest news regarding .xyz and our sales by bookmarking gen.xyz/China. This page is dedicated to providing up-to-date information on all the news and exciting events for our Chinese supporters, so please check this often!

Feed.xyz – Network Solutions customer (United Kingdom)
With endless competition in industries today one of the greatest difficulties is discovering a way to stand out. Ten years ago hardly anyone was carrying a digital device that could capture beautiful images. Now everyone has a tiny, portable device they can snap photos with and upload immediately to thousands of viewers.
Or take the beverage industry. We’ve moved from an average gin and tonic to cocktails that are bottled, made with liquid nitrogen, and infused with teas. With so much creativity how can professionals set themselves apart from the rest of the competition?
It all boils down to experience which is what brings us to this week’s #WebsiteWednesday: Feed.xyz
Feed.xyz provides digital marketing solutions through expertise in website development, CRM, e-commerce, marketing, analysis, creativity, and project management. With offices in London, Berlin, and Madrid, Feed brings together a diverse blend of backgrounds so they can best serve an international client base. Feed associates share a commitment to achieving results by producing brilliant digital products and catered solutions that go above and beyond their client’s desires and needs.
One of Feed’s biggest assets is their ability to adapt with the growth and life cycles of the businesses who have entrusted their branding, design, technology, and digital affluence to them. Take Feed’s ad campaign for eBay launched in December just before Star Wars: The Force Awakens was released. This quick wit combined with truly understanding their customers is how Feed creates the feeling, experience, and services, that clients will speak of long after their projects are complete. As their Managing Director has said:
“Craft alone isn’t enough, it needs to meet with customer expectations and those expectations are ever changing.” –Matt Lynch, Managing Director of Feed
When it comes to your online presence, each and every detail is key to making sure your business survives against the ongoing battle with your competitors. Feed.xyz is all about the details and whatever your business needs, Feed will provide a menu of options that will satisfy your thirsts and cravings.
