[QUOTE="Netfang, post: 2243383, member: 322953150"] Hi folks, I'm new to the domain game. I recently purchased just over a dozen .xyz domains on namecheap (because of their $1 promo). I also own [my first name].xyz. Because of this I am wondering what others say about .xyz. This is what I've read about the market so far: [LIST=1] [*]Despite being one of the best selling gTLDs coming online in 2014-15, .XYZ has been accused of padding numbers and otherwise artificially creating a market [*]In the short term, .xyz has much more value than other gTLDs this month because of Google's new Alphabet registering abc.xyz [/LIST] This is some critiquing of .xyz as a lingual/marketable feature that I've seen: [LIST=1] [*].xyz is memorable because X and Z are not seen very often [*]unlike many other TLDs (even lesser used ones like .io, .ca, .net, etc) .xyz is 3 syllables, making even a short address a large string of sounds to pronounce [/LIST] I look forward to reading more opinions and ideas re: .xyz! Whenever possible, we all love to see evidence backing up claims! Thanks, Netfang [/QUOTE]
