The views expressed on this page by users and staff are their own, not those of NamePros.
XYZ will experience a short-term correction in the next few years, and there will be massive drops due to the hundreds of thousands of free and almost free regs. However, it has something that most other new extensions can only dream of - a powerful anchor in the form of Google. With that in mind, it would not be wise to ignore the long-term potential of XYZ. After all, a couple of them fetched six-figure amounts over the past year.

I learned from fast gTLDs lesson. Not owning any xyz, seeing them for $1 to register is a spam world by default.

The sales report of Maxtorz is not a good sign for investors.

Anyway, good luck to those who maintain this extension.

Thanks, We should not invest in .com. There are plenty of $1 sales!

Have several 3C xyz (LLN LNN NLL NNL) with repeating letters/numbers.

I know all those patterns get registered when they drop, and repeating letters/numbers should hold more value than random characters.

Any idea anyone what the current value range of those could be?

Thanks!

There is not always a correlation between number of registrations and value.
The second largest registry in the world is .TK. Have you ever seen one of them in use or that sold?

Sure, the registrations are free but it is not a big difference between that and countless under $1 .XYZ regs.

The number of regs alone does not provide secondary market value. First you need a primary market, which is a strong user base. Then you need a secondary market where people are willing to pay a premium. Both markets barely exist at the moment in .XYZ.

so true , so true. .tk is a perfect example of this .

I have sold some .xyz in low xxxx range. China has interest, but its hard to communicate now that their government has blocked emails from other countries. They contact directly but you can't reply unless you use a VPN or I.P changer.

.XYZ is one of the few new extensions worth investing in. Many reasons, but let me point to only one of them: the .XYZ registry is the only one with a coherent promotion strategy, not the least of which is their attractive pricing. This is long term, of course, that is with no expectation of substantial profit for years to come. It's no threat to .COM, to be sure. This said, Google has shown the way and others will follow: .XYZ is a viable alternative to a .COM address. I'm betting (see disclaimer below) this will catch on, albeit slowly.

Disclaimer: my portfolio includes 500+ .XYZ's and counting. Most of my domains are acquired with a specific project in mind and not a quick flip and sale. This said, I'm happy to sell if a good opportunity (read: motivated buyer) presents itself ;)
geez , if I owned over 500 + .xyz domains I'd be talking up the extension too ,lol......

The name VRStore.xyz was dropped and I was able to secure that name through dynadot auctions.
So far I have received two offers from Namepros members. Still Looking for great offers for this gem.

XYZ has a market in China, now how much of that is real or money laundering who knows. A lot of these "sales" are definitely in the area of grey.
