Top-level domain
.xyz domains
An open namespace for whatever you build
.xyz is a general purpose top level domain that grew into the most registered of the new gTLDs. It carries no built in meaning, which is exactly the point: it reads as open, modern, and a little playful, and it gives builders room to define what their name stands for. You will see it on startups, crypto and web3 projects, personal sites, side projects, and brands that already use .com elsewhere and want a short, memorable second home. Because the namespace is broad and relatively young, plenty of words that are long gone on .com are still available on .xyz, so a clean one or two word name is realistic. The trade offs are real too. .com still carries more default trust with mainstream audiences, and some people unfamiliar with newer endings may second guess a .xyz address. There are no special DNS rules like the forced HTTPS on .dev or .app, so setup is ordinary. Pricing varies by registrar, and some short numeric .xyz names sit in cheaper tiers. Pair it with a strong brand and it works well.

FAQ
What does .xyz stand for?
Nothing specific, which is intentional. It is an open, generic ending often associated with Generation XYZ and a forward looking, anything goes vibe, so you get to define what your name means.
Is .xyz a good choice instead of .com?
It is a strong fit for startups, web3 projects, personal sites, and brands that want a short available name. For maximum mainstream trust .com still leads, so many teams use .xyz as a primary for a younger audience or as a memorable companion to a .com.
Who typically uses .xyz?
Tech startups, developers, crypto and web3 communities, creators, and people launching side projects. It suits anyone who values a clean, brandable name over a traditional ending.
How do I find an available .xyz domain?
Search the specific name you want here on domainsearch.sh and we check that exact .xyz domain in real time. Try a few variations, since availability is per name rather than across the whole ending.
