What is the .xyz Domain? Is it Good?

[wisly.k]

The .xyz domain is a gTLD (generic top-level domain) that launched in 2014. Unlike country-specific domains like .us or .in, or niche domains like .store or .blog, .xyz is meant to be universal.

It gained popularity as a modern, flexible option for anyone from developers and creatives to businesses who wanted a unique and memorable domain.

The idea behind ".xyz" is that it represents the last three letters of the alphabet, symbolizing anything and everything, from start to finish.

I recently registered a .xyz domain for my personal blog and here’s why I think it was a great choice:

• Easy Availability: It’s way easier to find short and brandable names compared to .com or .net.
• Affordable: Most registrars offer .xyz domains at a lower cost, especially for first-time registration.
• Modern Vibe: It feels fresh, tech-savvy, and perfect for startups or side projects.
• Universal Appeal: It’s not tied to a specific region or industry, so it works for nearly anything.

Disadvantages

• Perception Issues: Some people still view it as less professional than .com or .org.
• Spam Association: In the past, spammers used .xyz heavily because of low costs, which hurt its reputation.
• Email Reliability: Some users have experienced email deliverability issues with .xyz addresses.
• Trust Factor: If you're targeting a traditional or corporate audience, it might take extra effort to build trust.

Does .xyz Affect SEO?

There’s a common myth that .xyz domains don’t rank well in search engines. The truth is domain extensions do not directly affect SEO. Google has confirmed multiple times that all gTLDs are treated equally.
