XYZ
Registry Spices Up Growing Portfolio With Addition
of Latin Flavored .LAT TLD
|
|
The
XYZ
Registry's continually expanding portfolio
of domain extensions just reached 34 TLDs
with the acquisition of .LAT that was
announced today.
With this move XYZ adds an extension that the
seller, eCOM-LAC,
launched in 2015 to serve the Latin community. The
TLD has been available
to the general public since then and a
number of established websites already call it
home. Anthony
Harris, executive director of eCOM-LAC,
noted, "For the last few years, as a Latin American
non-profit Business Federation, we have been the ICANN assigned Registry for .LAT, in line with our mission objectives, which center on the development of the Internet in Latin America and the Caribbean. This task was carried out with the assistance of our able back-end technical and marketing services provider –
NIC MX. Certainly, the LAC region deserves to have a specific domain identifier which can contribute to the growth of Internet usage and content in this part of the world. It is time now for XYZ to apply their experience and expertise in order to take .LAT to the next
level, and we wish them every success for the future." |

XYZ Registry Founder & CEO |
In a post
on his personal blog, XYZ Registry
Founder and CEO Daniel Negari wrote, "I
am excited to announce the acquisition of .LAT – a
culturally significant domain ending and a
representation of the exceptional community that it
powers. The Latin communities are some of the most
underserved internet populations on earth. For many
years, I have been actively seeking .LAT to promote
diversity and affordability of naming options to
the world community and to provide inspiration for
Latin identities and expression."
Negari
added, "While registrations will
continue as usual, we will be formally
relaunching .LAT sometime in 2023. This will
include efforts to increase awareness,
access, and marketing. The existing team has
done a truly incredible job of starting .lat
and getting it going. As the next steward of
this important domain we will look to accelerate
registrations and usage by celebrating
the existing successful users, and looking
to inspire the next generation of users to
choose .LAT."
