.XYZ 10th Anniversary recap!

Recapping our 10th anniversary celebration: Over a decade of innovation!

In honor of .xyz’s 10th anniversary throughout June, we reflect on a decade of innovation, growth, and community. In a significant achievement, June welcomed the registration of nearly half a million .xyz domains, marking our best single month of registrations in almost a decade! This milestone underscores the global appeal and relevance of .xyz and XYZ Registry domains.

Even though the anniversary sales are over, you can still get a great deal on .xyz for as low as $1.99 at participating registrars like GoDaddy, Namecheap, Dynadot, and Name.com.

We saw a great spike in engagement during our 10th Anniversary month of June!

Contributing to industry milestones

Our registrar partnerships have been instrumental in shaping the domain landscape. Notably, our collaboration with registrars like GoDaddy, Namecheap, Porkbun, Name.com, Onamae, and Dynadot has helped propel industry milestones.
