.xyz is the general-purpose domain extension that has been available for registration since 2014. The name has no specific meaning – and that is precisely the point: it is not tied to any country, industry or language, so it is suitable for any project. With millions of registered names, it is one of the most popular new extensions.

Awareness of this domain extension increased significantly when Google’s parent company, Alphabet, chose the address abc.xyz for its website in 2015. Since then, it has become particularly popular with technology companies, start-ups, developers and creative projects. It’s a good choice if you’re looking for a modern, short address and the name you want is already taken under .com or .hu.

Restrictions

The .xyz domain is open to everyone without restriction; anyone can register a domain name. .xyz domain names are allocated on a ‘first-come, first-served’ basis.

Certain domain names within this top-level domain are classified as ‘premium’, which means that, in the eyes of the registry offering them, they are not of equal value; these may be domain names consisting of just a few characters, or special phrases that are easy to remember. The registry sells premium domain names at a higher price than usual; we do not sell such names.

Whois privacy

The Whois privacy service is available to both individuals and companies; it hides the owner’s details in the Whois database, with the exception of the owner’s country, which remains visible in all cases.
