Description:
The alphabet ends with "xyz" and why not a domain name? This is most probably what the registry thought when they applied for the .xyz extension.
Furthermore, .xyz is neutral and not bound to one language. The .xyz domain will not be labeled and is thus multi-purpose: private or business, serious or fun, a creative perk or as a base for your online presence.
The .xyz domain is aggressive in the market and profiles itself as the direct competitor to .com: if you want to register a .com domain then you will often find that your first, second, third or even tenth option has already been taken. You almost always end up with a name that just isn"t right. In the .xyz extension there are still many domains available.
