Why .xyz?

Where does .xyz come from?

The .xyz domain ending was created as a "true generic" domain ending to address the oversaturation of "traditional" generic domain endings like .com. Shortly after its creation, Google co-founder Larry Page announced the consolidation of Google Inc, Calico, Google Fiber, and other Google spin-offs under a new company — Alphabet — which would use the domain name abc.xyz, in a notable major adoption of a new generic domain ending. Since then, .xyz has found its niche among tech entrepreneurs and others working in the industry.

The .xyz domain ending gives you a universal stature

In 2014, .xyz controlled 17% of the new generic domain ending market. Four years later, in 2018, more than 7 million pages using the .xyz domain ending had been indexed. Its popularity is no longer in question, especially since this domain ending lends all sites that use it a universal quality: it can be used in any geographic area and internationally. That makes it an ideal domain ending for visibility on an international scale.

A memorable domain name with .xyz

Since .com has become oversaturated, you have a greater chance of finding that domain name you want if you look for a .xyz. This domain ending is also easy for any internet users familiar with the Latin alphabet to remember and improves your search engine ranking.
