The new gTLD .XYZ has passed .info to become the 4th most registered Top Level Domain Extension in the world.
According to RegistrarStats.com, .info has 5,508,922 domain names registered.
The zone files for yesterday have not updated but TheDomains.com reached out to the .XYZ registry who confirmed that they now have more registered domain names than .info.
The only top level domain name extensions to have more domain registrations than .xyz are .Com, .Net and .Org.
.info was launched 15 years ago, in 2001.
.XYZ just celebrated it’s 2nd anniversary.
Daniel Negari the CEO of the .XYZ registry told TheDomains.com exclusively:
“We’re thrilled to be the 4th largest gTLD in the world in terms of registration numbers. However, our #1 focus has always been, and will continue to be, utilization by the next generation of internet users. By creating competition and affordability, we are giving internet users an international platform to innovate online. We highlight some of our favorites every week at www.gen.xyz/WW, as well as on www.gen.xyz/live”
.XYZ has basically added somewhere around 2.5 Million registrations it had registered previously by offering domain name registrations as low as $.01/$.02 for two days
The .$.01 promotion ended yesterday, but domain names are available for as low as $.22 a domain for the rest of June at many registrars.
Starting in July retail prices for a .XYZ registration will revert to $1 – $15 depending on your registrar until the end of the year.
