Time to invest .xyz

[Domain Monk]

After google decision is it worth investing in xyz extension? Will it's value increase?

 

[gilescoley]

I think it has to do with:

1. The fact that Google is the world leading internet company (obviously).

2. People always tend to follow trends in large groups. 3d domains, drone domains, VR domains and now a somewhat corny extension.

3. Daniel Negari is smart.

That still begs the question, "Why the hoopla over .XYZ".
Google is not trend setting on this. It is only one domain in one extension.
Google owns several (with more to come) domain extensions. Would it not be wiser to speculate in a Google "owned" extension rather then a singular domain in an extension owned by someone else.
If Google is the factor that we are speculating here... It would make more sense to me to be in with Google owned extensions. Would you not agree?

The trends are pretty much only followed by other domainers. It is a bit of an incestuous affair that domainers have with each other here. Yes, trends do happen but I would hazard to state that the domain trends that ensue are between domainers and not domainer to end user.

I am sure Daniel Negari is intelligent but does that give credence to the entire extension?

Just thoughts..

Cheers

Exactly, Google are always buying names in various extension and with different keywords, domainers cant jump up and down just because the big G grabbed another name, the same thing happened when they grabbed G.co (and Twitter got T.co and Amazon got A.co)and everyone said .CO will be the next big thing and all big companies will follow Google blah blah, it doesnt happen and wont ever happen

Google own nearly 12,000 names in various extensions, but dont go crazy when they register a new name in an different extension

Remember the XYZ collision list release in december? That was the last opportunity to invest in great XYZ domains.

It is time to invest way before people decide it is time to invest.

I wouldn't invest in .xyz if it was free (which it was at one point and then like $1 to reg) hence how they got over 1 million registered names. Once Alphabet starts rolling out stand alone products and solutions, I'd be surprised if they stuck with .xyz. You'll be seeing Alphabet Car and Alphabet Drones etc searched not abc.xyz hell, they may buy Alphabet.com from BMW or create a .alphabet gtld or just use one of the many gtlds they own who knows. Google has been known to just drop an idea or two with poor performance. I think the restructuring was long planned after the Google Glass debacle and that the .xyz was a very very smart marketing ploy by Negari to get his extension and GTLDs as a whole in front of the masses. It's been done many a times before in this industry. But at ~$9 a piece get yourself a meaningful .com. If you must have a GTLD, I would leave .xyz alone. Go get a .news or something.

abc.xyz is domain Hack - sortoff. And it's just short for alphabet (a-z).
Also, abc.xyz is not service or some kind of app. Just simple info site. So there is wont be any Rush of buisness to.Xyz. Your end users won't visit abc.xyz site, so they wont get used to Xyz tld.

After google descision is it worth investing in xyz extension..will its value increase

Not me. Nope. Google has money to throw in the trash, I dont, most of us dont.

 

[Omar Negron]

Everyone said the same thing about .CO when ..

Amazon bought A.co
Twitter bought T.co
Google bought G.co

Great point.

 

[RapidNames.com]

ABC.XYZ

- Google might bought / registered in the idea of A,B,C to X,Y,Z.. It covers entire Alphabets. Nothing special in .xyz. I don't think .xyz keyword domains sell morethan reg fee :P

IMO.

XYZ is a horrid thing to type, IMO.

Just sayin'.

XYZ is a horrid thing to type, IMO.

Just sayin'.

Agreed, but it involves the same basic movements as typing C-O-M. Quite similar actually.

I do not see any reason for any domainer to rush for .xyz for the sake that Big G just have only one .xyz. They are using the extension for just only one of their investment and it does not have anything to do with Google.com.
I could only be worried to buy or reg xyz if big G change their major search engine extension to BIG G.XYZ if that is the case it could change the whole internet of a thing.
Secondly, I expected them to go for alphabet.xyz or take alphabet.com from the owner.
It does not have any influence on internet game at all. I saw many have hand regs many keyword.xyz and any names that have to do with alphabet because of the big G new invention.
Well all I have.said are IMO. I f anyone has enogh money to tye down such person should go ahead and do so, but I'm very optimistic that in the next ten years there is no any cause for alarm on good .coms.

Cheers.

It's worth buying one REALLY good one if you can find it-we did. It's like a loto ticket because if they do happen to hit you'll be kicking yourself if you didn't buy at least one and there's no telling what Google might do. There's also a reason why a guy like Andrew Rosener from Media Options owns a high grade .xyz.

 

[elevator]

Well ! I know one can buy it for blogging or for your buziness, but you may not find a buyer for it as a domain and it will cost you lots and lots of money to rank them on big G.ranking list.

 

[London555]

Just put X7X.xyz for sale on BIN here lets see if it sells (this isn't the name we ref. to above-had this for a while)

Good luck and cheers.
