XYZ
Registry Continues to Grow with Acquisition of 10
More TLDs Upping Their Total to 33
|
XYZ
Registry continues to grow
by leaps and bounds. They just acquired 10 more
TLDs in one fell swoop to increase the total
number of global domain extensions they
administer to 33. While XYZ is nearly a
decade old now, 21 of their TLDs have been added
in just the past two years. The latest 10
newcomers, all acquired from Uni Naming &
Registry Corp. (founded by Frank Schilling),
include .Game,
.Guitars,
.Audio,
.Christmas,
.Diet,
.Flowers,
.Hosting,
.Pics,
.Mom,
and LOL. With
over 3.8 million registrations, the registry's
flagship TLD, .xyz, is now the world's 4th
biggest gTLD, trailing only the Internet's
original big three -.com, .net and .org. The
registry's announcement
of the acquisition noted, "These 10 TLDs were
specifically selected for their growth |

potential, which aligns with the XYZ Registry's
mission to serve the needs of worldwide
digitalization that is expanding exponentially.
The .Game domain name, for example, is
ideal for members of the fast-growing $167
billion gaming industry. Members of the
$21.6 billion dollar music industry can
make themselves heard with .Audio and .Guitars.
Even North America's biggest holiday is covered
with .Christmas, as 2020 Christmas spending
crossed $850 billion in the United States
alone."
XYZ
CEO and Founder Daniel Negari said,
"We're dedicated to making short, memorable,
and intuitive domain names available to every
where in the world. With these latest ten
additions, I feel confident that every business,
individual, or group can make their mark online
with the XYZ Family of domains. I am particularly
excited to make the world .LOL!" |
