xyz domains are not too hard to but renewal is high I think ,if your gonna start a blog than great ,if someone else is gonna start a blog ,there are probably other .--- that are still open with your word ,I let a .cc short one word expire a couple years ago thats worth 3 grand today so you never know.....But if you have a big porfolio sometimes its just best to kepp the domain for the sale year instead of marrying the domain
