Tech.co just posted a article about .XYZ and its founder Daniel Negari in a story entitled; .Xyz is Staring Down .Com: This is How you Slay the Giant.
Here are some of the more interesting quotes from the story by Daniel that I’m sure this story will get many in the domainer community going especially the headline.
“I set out to really disrupt the name space and bring competition and choice to the marketplace. That’s what I’m about – bring a low cost alternative to .com and let people pick from the 116th million .com, they can get one of the first couple million .xyz. We’ve had great utilization.”
The author goes on to say about Negari:
“He’s in the trenches with multi-billion dollar companies now, like Google and Amazon, standing firm in his idea to change the internet. Therein lies one of the biggest triumphs that helped take Negari to these new heights: he overcame the idea of being an underdog.
“But how do you compete with a company that can throw millions of dollars at any problem that comes there way? Negari’s innovative, entrepreneurial spirit flourished in the face of that question.
He didn’t let anybody tell him his dream was impossible. He followed his passion. He never gave up. And that meant he didn’t sleep for days on end, but until you get where you need tobe that’s what you have to do.
“Life is about sacrifice,” says Negari.”
“Beyond sacrifice though, Negari employed some brilliant business tactics to focus on precisely who is customer is. You might think that it’s the people registering for domains, but you’d be wrong. In fact, Negari’s customer base is filled with registrars like GoDaddy, Gandi, and Network Solutions.”
“I can’t help but feel like I accomplished the first phase of my mission,” says Negari. “The next 10, 20, 30, 50 years will define what .xyz is as people start to use it for different purposes.”

Dot CO is Staring Down .Com: This is How you Slay the Giant.
That what was stated 10yrs ago and everyone bought into it.
dont get me wrong DOT XYZ is one of the best new gimmicks
But An Article from Tech.co (not Tech.com) sums it all up 🙂 pure masturbation.
I am better off saving all my fantasy for surfing adult entertainment 🙂
Sycophantic drivel worthy of Kim Jong Un:
“Therein lies one of the biggest triumphs that helped take Negari to these new heights: he overcame the idea of being an underdog”
Overcome through utter narcissism and fabricated numbers.
“How do you compete …? Negari’s innovative, entrepreneurial spirit flourished in the face of that question.”
Register domains to everybody in the cemetary for starters. And if questioned? Don’t answer. Just get on that skateboard, push off, and flourish down the stairs!
Sham parades aren’t triumphs.
and they apparently delete any dissenting comments.
“The next 10, 20, 30, 50 years will define what .xyz is as people start to use it for different purposes.”
Maybe there’s a little too much moonshine in that eggnog or Kool-Aid.
An example of malware hosted on newly registered cheap/free XYZ sites:
xhxzz.download.breadspoon.xyz
Attempts to install an executable pretending to be a Flash update.
Theo you are clearly wrong.
This website does not exist because if it did then the registry and its super anti-malware protection would have deleted it and suspend it. How could you?
Please apologize.
Ha! 😀
Those bastards link XYZ web sites to viral videos, such as one that a monkey saved its buddy from the train racks. Clicked on the link and the XYZ malware feeder popped up. The IP it resolves to is 173.255.203.213 which differs from that for the main domain. Quite crafty. XYZ will have to implement filtration at subdomain level.
lol to all the comments.
I guess it is not just me, like someone and his friends think.
Less than 200,000 domains out of the 750K are made up of proper English words. There are 9900+ IDNs, rest are a mix of random letters and numbers. There are a lot of domains that have keyword+[random letters]. I didn’t check for proper nouns (except for country names).
Here we go again with another “paid” article …
LOL @ ““Life is about sacrifice,” says Negari.” … Mr Beverly Hills 90210 talking about sacrifice … lmao!
Lies have no legs, and when the bubble will burst all the “manure” and fabrications are gonna surface … 😀
