On December 2, 2014 at 2pm (London Time), .XYZ will be releasing thousands of domain names to the public to register which were held back due to ICANN’s name collision list.
The new domain name extension .XYZ, is the new gTLD’s with the most domain name registrations with over 725,000 according to ntldstats.com
Almost 20,000 names were held back due to ICANN’s name collision list, and a large majority are being released.
.XYZ just published a complete list of these domain names at gen.xyz/collisionlist
These names will be up for grabs on a first come, first served basis, for normal registration fee at any registrar where you can register .XYZ domain names, which is a majority of registrars out there.
Here are some highlights from the list:
There are over 1,000 short 3 and 4 character .XYZ domain names that will be released:
3L: 75 names
3N: 100 names
3C: 95 names
4L: nearly 400 names
4N: 18 names
4C: nearly 550 names
Keyword rich domains like OnlineCasino.xyz will also become available, which I’m sure will get snatched up pretty quickly.
Some other examples of good .XYZ domain names that will become available for registration include:
220.xyz
1984.xyz
blacklist.xyz
brit.xyz
carexpert.xyz
eiffel.xyz
root.xyz
seolinks.xyz
venus.xyz
webdesigners.xyz
Hundreds of popular first names and last names will also be released including:
clare.xyz
cohen.xyz
norton.xyz
martha.xyz
juliet.xyz
berger.xyz
andrews.xyz
peterson.xyz
harrison.xyz
michelle.xyz
fernandez.xyz
garcia.xyz
ernesto.xyz
Good luck to all.
Virtually any domain that could be registered in .XYZ will be at least as good (probably better) if registered in .CLICK.
If I had to make a choice between supporting XYZ’s deceitful registrar stuffing or Uniregistry’s apparently transparent release of .CLICK today, then it would be a no brainer.
I agree and was thinking that as I read the post. .XYZ is not as good as .CLICK, just my opinion. CLICK is at least related to web and internet use already, and is a ‘fun’ word to say. Don’t know if I will register any, but it’s an affordable way to get a keyword you’ve desired (such as first name, place name, etc.).
I agree. .CLICK puts an idea in someone’s head — the act of clicking. And that makes names “stickier”, more memorable than .XYZ, which is only where the alphabet goes to die.
Plus, there’s another factor that anybody with ears will already be aware of:
Time yourself saying “Somewhere Dot X Y Z” 20 times.
Now time yourself saying “Somewhere Dot Click” 20 times.
I did. Here:

32 seconds for .XYZ, slurring my speech to get it done.
21 seconds for .CLICK.
.XYZ is at least 50% longer to say.
3 syllables versus 1.
Correction:
The whole phrase went from 4 syllables to 6 syllables, which explains the 50% time increase.
.XYZ is 3 times as long as .CLICK when said aloud.
Yes .link are .click sounds cool and very easy to remember.
