.XYZ just broke through the 1.5 million mark in registered domain names which is net includes pending deletes.

"The CEO of XYZ Daniel Negari that he was ecstatic! and thinks they should break 2 Million within the next 6 – 9 months."


In general domain world returned to normal numbers over the last few days as yesterday looked like a typical Sunday.
Total new domains were just over 122,000 but only over 12,000 net after deleted domain names.

Last year Godaddy had a $1/month promo for Managed Wordpress hosting. I launched dozens of new sites thinking the rate might go up somewhat but perhaps not too much. Renewals ended up being I believe $7/month and I could not justify paying the renewal - will drop every site launched.

Wait till those XYZs go from $1 to $10 and see what happens to registrations.

I just secured products.xyz

What do you guys think? Hit or flop?

I paid $350 for products.xyz in an auction and the domain renews at the regular cheap .xyz rate.

The sad thing is that many newbies buying new TLDs are pissing their money away on domains which would not be that desirable even if they were .COM.

If I could handreg Products.net, would I do so? No I would not as I do not see that domain as a great brand (FYI I have dropped probably 75% of my .Nets from my peak and .Net with 30 years of history is far more desirable than 95% of new TLDs). Yes, you can develop many domains if development is your background. But more than 90% of new TLD registrations are domainers. IMO. $350 flushed down the toilet.

Geez... I can't believe so many people are being swindled into buying xyz and .tv.

.xyz is the new .mobi, but then again people are till dumb enough to buy that one too, lol. No offense.
