What is a .xyz domain?
.xyz is an open generic top-level domain owned by XYZ.COM LLC of Las Vegas, with CentralNic running the registry technology, and it has no intended audience or eligibility rule. IANA’s delegation report for it is dated 12 February 2014, and public registration opened later that year under ICANN’s new gTLD programme.
Its best-known user is Alphabet Inc., Google’s parent company, which has used abc.xyz as its corporate address since its 2015 restructuring. That single choice did more for the extension’s credibility than any campaign: it showed a large company could live on three letters and .xyz.
- Category: generic TLD, unrestricted.
- Registry owner: XYZ.COM LLC, 4425 Spring Mountain Rd., Las Vegas.
- Technical contact: CentralNic.
- DNSSEC: secure delegation at the root.
- WHOIS: whois.nic.xyz; registry site nic.xyz.
Who should use a .xyz domain?
.xyz suits projects where a short, available name matters more than looking traditional: side projects, product launches, creators and Web3 teams. It is a weaker fit for a CA practice, a hospital or a B2B supplier whose buyers judge credibility from the address.
| Project | Example | Fit |
|---|---|---|
| Hackathon or weekend side project | splitbill.xyz | Good — cheap to start, short to share |
| Creator or musician link hub | djraghav.xyz | Good — the name is the brand |
| Web3 or blockchain project | chainledger.xyz | Good — common in that community |
| Campaign or event microsite | diwalisale.xyz | Good — short life, memorable URL |
| Clinic, law firm or CA practice | — | Poor — use .in, .com or a professional extension |
What does a .xyz domain cost at WebJi®?
.xyz is listed at ₹1,754 for the first year and ₹1,957 a year to renew, before 18% GST, read on 4 November 2026. Two years cost ₹3,711 and three years ₹5,668 before tax. Very low first-year offers seen elsewhere usually come with a full-price renewal, so compare the renewal column, not the headline.
| Extension | Year 1 | Renewal | 3-year total | Order |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| .xyz | ₹1,754 | ₹1,957 | ₹5,668 | Get .xyz quote → |
| .app | ₹1,470 | ₹1,500 | ₹4,470 | Register → |
| .com | ₹1,380 | ₹1,480 | ₹4,340 | Register → |
| .co | ₹3,712 | ₹3,955 | ₹11,622 | Register → |
One-, two- and three-character .xyz strings and popular words are registry premiums and cost more; the quote states the premium and its renewal before payment.
Are there any rules for registering .xyz?
None beyond the standard ones: any person or company, anywhere, can register a .xyz without documents, and the first paid order wins. Labels follow normal DNS rules, and the registry’s abuse policy applies to phishing, malware and spam, which it can suspend.
Privacy is permitted, so public WHOIS can show a privacy service rather than your home address, but the registrant email you supply must still receive registry verification mail.
Will a .xyz address hurt trust or email delivery?
It does not affect Google rankings, but some visitors and spam filters treat lesser-known extensions with more suspicion, so a .xyz needs clean setup from day one. The fixes are routine and free.
- Publish SPF, DKIM and a DMARC policy before sending any mail from the name.
- Install an SSL certificate so browsers show the padlock.
- Warm up a new mailbox with replies to known contacts before any newsletter.
- For invoices to Indian businesses, consider a .in name for email and keep .xyz for the product.
.xyz vs .com and .app for a launch
If the .com is free at ₹1,380, it is cheaper than .xyz and familiar to everyone; .xyz wins when the .com is taken and you want the same short word. For a mobile or web app, .app costs less and says what the product is, though it requires HTTPS, like its sibling .dev.

Frequently asked questions
Who runs the .xyz registry?
XYZ.COM LLC, based in Las Vegas, is the registry operator in the IANA database, and CentralNic is listed as the technical contact. Registrars such as WebJi® sell .xyz names under XYZ’s policies.
Is abc.xyz really Google’s address?
It belongs to Alphabet Inc., the holding company formed above Google in 2015. Alphabet’s investor and corporate pages live at abc.xyz, which is the most cited example of a major company using the extension.
How much is a .xyz for three years?
₹5,668 before GST at WebJi®: ₹1,754 for the first year and ₹1,957 for each of two renewals. That is about ₹6,688 with 18% GST. Premium strings are quoted separately.
Can I register a .xyz in Hindi or with numbers?
Numbers are allowed, for example 2026launch.xyz. For non-Latin scripts, check availability in the domain search first; support for internationalised labels depends on the registry’s published IDN tables, and WebJi® confirms it in the quote.
Is .xyz signed with DNSSEC?
Yes. The .xyz zone has a secure delegation in the root, so your name can be signed when your DNS provider supports DNSSEC.
