An address for your next experiment

Register a .xyz Domain From $3.30

Create without a category

What Is a .xyz Domain?

A name such as prismora.xyz can introduce a design practice today and a digital product tomorrow. .xyz is a generic ending: it does not limit the address to one country or industry. Give visitors a clear explanation of your work, then let the name become familiar through what you publish.

Keep the idea recognisable. Give your project a name that can travel between a portfolio, an event programme and a spoken introduction.
Explain what you make. Let the page introduce the work; a generic ending does not tell visitors what your project does.
Choose for the next chapter. A short publication can evolve into a workshop series or software release without changing the name people follow.

Fictional studio concept: Prismora uses .xyz across its customer-facing website and contact address.

.xyz Domain Pricing

Treat the domain as a recurring project expense. Standard registration, renewal and transfer are separate charges; a premium spelling may have its own fee schedule. Check the exact result before making it part of your public identity.

.xyz Domain Alternatives

An unavailable name is a reason to reconsider the complete address, not automatically add more words. Visit these published extension pages to compare suitability and recurring costs before making a shortlist.

Start with a useful destination

A .xyz Domain for the Project You’re Building

These fictional projects show four ways to put a .xyz address to work. They are examples of presentation, not available names or endorsements. Build around the activity your visitors actually came to do.

Find Your .xyz

Creative practice

Publish Beyond the Portfolio

Publish a selected body of work alongside the thinking behind it. A studio can introduce commissions, collaborations and new experiments from the same address.

Digital products

Introduce a Useful Tool

Give a small application a clear introduction, release notes and a route to documentation. Make the first useful action easy to spot.

Independent publishing

Give Readers a Home Base

Bring essays, newsletter archives and an author profile together. Readers can return even when your publishing platform changes.

Community projects

Gather Around a Shared Interest

Explain who the group is for, how to join and where the activity happens. A shared address is easier to pass along than a collection of unrelated invitations.

Know what connects where

.xyz Domain Management, Made Simple

Your domain directs traffic; separate platforms supply the website, inbox or application. Keep a simple record of each connection so a new collaborator can maintain the setup without reconstructing it from memory.

TRUEHOSTIllustrative control panel

Project domainprismora.xyzNot a live account

Published contentA / CNAME

CorrespondenceMX / TXT

NameserversProvider settings

Keep the project’s connections in one place.

DNS management

Save the existing record values before making changes. Apply the destination given by your platform and check the result after DNS updates have propagated.

Nameserver control

A nameserver change moves responsibility for DNS answers. Prepare the complete record set at the receiving service before switching over.

Renewal management

Assign someone to watch the renewal date even during quiet periods. An independent contact inbox helps when the website itself is unavailable.

Transfer support

Review the lock status and obtain the authorisation code when planning a registrar move. Keep that code private throughout the handover.

Tools for an ongoing project

Why Choose Truehost for Your .xyz Domain?

A useful domain account should make routine work straightforward: finding the right records, checking recurring fees and protecting access. These tools support that administration while your project develops.

One-click Cloudflare push

Connect the Cloudflare service through the available push workflow, then review the transferred configuration before relying on it.

Check the Entry Cost

$3.30 / first year

See the standard entry cost while comparing candidate names. Search results still determine whether a particular label qualifies for that price.

Plan the Recurring Expense

$16.69 / year

Separate renewal information makes a longer-running project easier to budget. Recheck future notices because recurring fees can change.

Free DNS management

Update routing and verification records from the account as the project moves between compatible platforms.

Free email forwarding

Route incoming enquiries into an existing mailbox when forwarding meets your needs. Sending as the domain generally requires a suitably configured mail service.

2FA and domain lock

Add a second sign-in factor and review the available lock controls. Share delegated access where possible instead of circulating the account password.

Coming soon

Free business email

This roadmap item is not an active inclusion. For a mailbox needed today, compare the currently available email subscriptions.

Coming soon

Free website builder

A future free option should not determine a launch deadline. Use an available publishing product if you need to put the site online now.

Roadmap, not entitlement: the features marked coming soon are not delivered with the present registration. Keep them separate from the services and charges you approve today.

One identity across your tools

How to Use Your .xyz Domain

A visitor might discover your work, buy a download and later ask a question. Those destinations can share the same .xyz identity even when different providers run them. Connect each service deliberately and test the complete journey after configuration.

Introduce new work at prismora.xyz.

Check the label itself

.xyz Domain Name Rules

Ordinary .xyz names use the ASCII character set described below. Internationalised registrations require a supported language and valid encoding. A technically acceptable label can still be reserved, premium-priced or already registered.

Permitted .xyz characters

A label of 1–63 characters before the .xyz ending
Letters a–z and numeric characters 0–9
Hyphens within the label, subject to registry restrictions
The same spelling in either upper or lower case

Invalid or unavailable labels

A leading or trailing hyphen, such as -patchkit
Spaces, underscores or punctuation in an ordinary label
Restricted consecutive hyphens outside permitted IDN encoding
A reserved label or a name already held by another registrant

See Domain Name Examples

Example Label	Syntax Result	Reason
`patchkit.xyz`	Valid spelling	A letter-only label; availability must still be checked.
`patch-kit.xyz`	Valid spelling	The hyphen sits between two groups of letters.
`-patchkit.xyz`	Invalid spelling	The first character cannot be a hyphen.
`patch_kit.xyz`	Invalid spelling	An underscore is not permitted in this label.

Set up the right holder

Who Can Register a .xyz Domain?

People and organisations can apply for available .xyz names without being a British company or a technology startup. Decide who will hold the registration before ordering, particularly when several collaborators or an agency are involved.

Prepare your registration details

Identify the intended registrant, especially when purchasing for a client or collective.
Use an inbox you can access for verification and future registration notices.
Provide accurate holder and contact details rather than an agency’s temporary information.
Check the exact label and investigate existing businesses using a similar identity.

Separate from the domain purchase

Incorporation of your project as a registered company
Trade-mark clearance or rights to another party’s brand
A working website or inbox without separately configured services
Indefinite control: the registration must remain current and comply with applicable rules

A final naming check

Test the spoken address

Say the full address aloud and ask somebody to write it down. A name that needs repeated explanation may be a poor fit for the way your audience discovers you.

Research similar identities

Investigate similar project and product identities before adopting a label. Availability is a technical result, not permission to use another party’s protected brand.

Protect account recovery

Use recovery details that do not depend entirely on this new domain. Keep access available when a team member leaves or the project changes hands.

A dated view of the namespace

.xyz Domain Facts

The registration base below refers to .xyz alone. It does not combine the other extensions in XYZ Registry’s portfolio, and it should not be confused with the number of websites or subdomains observed by a crawler.

8.5 million: .xyz domains reported; At 30 June 2026, rounded by DNIB
7th: largest TLD by reported domains; Among all TLDs in the Q2 2026 report
2014: public .xyz registrations opened; Launch anniversary: 2 June

Sources: DNIB Q2 2026 and XYZ Registry’s launch history. Registration count is a dated, rounded report figure, not a live counter. Checked 9 September 2026.

Keep the address within reach

What Happens If .xyz Expires?

Old downloads, shared links and account callbacks may depend on your domain long after the last website update. Renew before expiry instead of counting on recovery. The stages below describe a typical gTLD process, not a guaranteed grace period for your order.

01In service

Active

Keep account recovery and billing information usable throughout the active term, including when the project is paused.

02Renew before expiry

Renewal Due

Check the current renewal amount, $16.69, and leave time to resolve payment or access problems before the due date.

03Check your status

Expired

Connected services may stop after expiry. Ask the registrar what renewal options remain for this particular registration rather than assuming the website will continue working.

04If eligible

Redemption

An eligible deleted registration may be recoverable during redemption, usually at an additional restoration charge. Request the actual deadline and fee promptly.

05Recovery ends

Deletion

Once recovery is no longer available, the name may proceed to deletion and release. Previous ownership does not reserve the address for you.

Compare the priced terms

Plan the Registration Beyond Year One

Choose a duration from the terms actually offered for your result. A multi-year total should come from the catalogue, not a first-year promotion multiplied by the number of years. Confirm your selection in checkout.

Current catalogue prices. Savings compare the total with one year of registration plus annual renewals at today’s rates. Future renewal rates may change. Only available priced terms are listed.

Term	Total price	Savings vs annual renewal	Action
1 year	$3.30	No saving	Search domains
2 years	$19.99	No saving	Search domains
3 years	$36.68	No saving	Search domains
4 years	$53.38	No saving	Search domains
5 years	$70.07	No saving	Search domains

Select your term in checkout. Domain availability, applicable promotions, premium-name pricing and taxes are confirmed there.

Move the administration, keep the identity

Already Have a .xyz Domain?

A .xyz transfer normally uses an authorisation code rather than a UK IPS tag. Check eligibility and transfer restrictions first. Changing the registrar does not automatically migrate a website, database or email archive.

Transfer — $16.00

01
Review transfer eligibility
Confirm access to the current account and review any transfer lock. Record the DNS settings and check that the contact inbox can receive approval messages.
02
Obtain the authorisation code
Request the authorisation code securely from the existing registrar. Submit it through the transfer workflow rather than sharing it in a public message.
03
Verify the completed handover
After completion, check the receiving account, expiry date and nameservers. Coordinate any hosting or mailbox migration as a separate operation.

Questions from new registrants

.xyz Domain FAQs

Practical answers about launching with .xyz, managing recurring charges and keeping control of the address.

What does .xyz stand for?

It is the three-letter ending of a generic namespace, rather than an abbreviation requiring a particular business type. Your branding supplies the context. A visitor should understand the project from the page itself, not have to infer it from the suffix.

Can a UK resident register .xyz?

Yes, .xyz is not reserved for a particular country. A UK individual or organisation can apply for an available name through Truehost UK, with accurate registration details and acceptance of the applicable agreement.

Is .xyz only for cryptocurrency projects?

No. It is an ordinary DNS domain ending and does not require a blockchain application, token or cryptocurrency wallet. You can point it to a conventional website, publish a blog or configure email with compatible services.

Why is the price different for the name I searched?

The headline figure represents standard pricing. Some names fall into premium categories, and promotions may have specific eligibility conditions. Inspect both the registration and recurring renewal amounts for the exact result rather than assuming every .xyz costs the same.

Will a cheap first year make the following years cheaper?

Not by itself. A first-year offer is a purchase incentive for that period. Renewal has its own price, while a multi-year registration should be evaluated from the quoted term total. Keep a record of the charges you accept and review future notices.

Does .xyz improve search rankings?

The ending is not a shortcut to search visibility. Publish material that answers the audience’s needs, make the site easy to use and ensure search engines can access the pages you want indexed. Pick the domain for clarity and identity, not a promised ranking boost.

Can I use .xyz for a professional email address?

Yes, provided you configure a mail service and the required DNS records. A label such as [email protected] is an illustration of the format, not an inbox supplied by registration alone. Test sending and receiving after setup.

What if I own the same name under another ending?

You can run separate sites or redirect a secondary address to the one you consider primary. Decide which version to advertise consistently. Holding another extension does not reserve its .xyz equivalent, so run an availability check before planning around it.

Are the example names on this page available?

They are fictional illustrations, not live search results or offers for sale. Availability can change between a search and completion of an order. Enter your intended spelling into the search form and rely on the confirmed registration, not an example shown here.

Can I sell or change ownership of the domain later?

An ownership change is distinct from changing its registrar. Follow the provider’s registrant-change process, establish the correct new holder and check any resulting transfer restrictions. Do not share your entire hosting-account password as a substitute for a proper handover.

Can I register the name while the project is private?

Yes. An available domain can be registered before there is anything to publish. Keep the account and renewal arrangements active while you develop privately, then configure the destination when you are ready. Holding the name does not require you to display an unfinished site.

What should I do if the domain has expired?

Contact the registrar with the exact name and ask which stage it has reached. Standard renewal and restoration are different operations, and additional charges may apply. Do not rely on the recovery timetable of another extension or wait for the website to disappear before acting.
