Hot off of the press, Uniregistry and Team XYZ issued a press release today, announcing the highly coveted trifecta of new domain extensions that will represent the automotive industry. This trifecta was completed when our team successfully acquired .Car from the tech giant themselves – Google!

Just like .xyz, .College, and .Rent, our mission is to give everyone choice when building their online presence. So whether you’re a car enthusiast, a dealership owner, an auctioneer, or part of the automotive supply chain, you now have namespaces to express your passions online.

Check out www.nic.cars for a glimpse into the newest addition to the XYZ family, coming to you in Q4 of this year.

You can also learn more about .Cars, .Car, .Auto, and Cars Registry Limited in this morning’s press release:

Just as that bright green “Register” button hints, you can now register your favorite .xyz domains right here at gen.xyz.

The hilarious, ever-popular HBO series that captures startup culture, Silicon Valley, hit an all-time high last night with 2.1 million viewers. Are you a Silicon Valley fan?

If you are, then you already know. (And if you are but haven’t caught-up on last night’s episode, spoiler alert!)

For a little bit of background, Silicon Valley is a comedy series that takes a satirical look at the tech industry and startup culture. The main storyline involves the dynamic between Pied Piper, an up-and-coming underdog startup with an amazing product, and Hooli, a Google or Oracle-like tech giant.

In last night’s episode, Hooli extravagantly announced its most innovative, groundbreaking “moonshot” new division, HooliXYZ. And what is HooliXYZ’s website? That’s right – hooli.xyz!

If you haven’t already, visit hooli.xyz to learn more about Hooli’s “experimental division” and its team of XYZeniuses. Their ultra innovative projects in the pipeline include self-driving cars, flying cars, self-flying cars, and even a cure for AIDs.

What do you think of HooliXYZ and their appointment of Nelson as the “Co-Head Dreamer”? Total marketing move, right?

 

With .xyz, we’re all about supporting online communities where people can come together and share their ideas, regardless of age or location. This week’s #WebsiteWednesday exemplifies exactly this with their .xyz site.
