Daniel Negari CEO of XYZ, announced that it has acquired it’s 10th new gTLD .Storage.
The new gTLD .Storage was applied for by Self Storage Company, LLC to be operated as a restricted domain extension. Self Storage Company, LLC won the domain name in a private auction against Donuts who also applied for the extension.
According to Mr Negari domain names will be price at $500 wholesale for registrations and renewals and virtually every domain name will be available in including single letters, double letters, Geo domains, as well as premium keywords.
Super premium keywords previously priced for $100,000 or more, such as Data.Storage, Cloud.Storage, and Cold.Storage, will now be made available for a
recommended retail price of just $79 per month, with a 12-month commitment.
According to Mr. Negari .Storage will be a premium namespace for businesses and professionals in the data and physical storage verticals:
| Data Storage | Physical Storage |
|---|---|
| Local drive storage | Self storage |
| Network storage | Dry warehousing |
| Cloud storage | Logistics |
| Backup storage | Vehicle, boat, & plane storage |
| File sharing services | Moving services |
Rather than reserving the best names, ALL .Storage names will be available for one flat price. This allows high-quality end users to register their first choice domains with products from hundreds of registrars and resellers who already carry .xyz.
The first phase of availability Sunrise, will begin on November 7, 2017 for businesses to secure their trademarks, slogans, and other relevant domains before the general public. This is immediately followed by a two-week public Early Access Period (EAP), which starts on November 28. The global general availability launch of .Storage is set for December 5, 2017.

XYZ is the registry operator of the world’s most popular new domain, .xyz, as well as .College, .Rent, .Security, .Protection, and .Theatre. Through a joint venture, the company also offers .Cars, .Car, and .Auto
Beginning of the end, this structure sucks, and companies are sick of being bled dry by extortion pricing, and you are seeing them turn away.
Good luck to them regardless
.Storage? .Seriously? .Sad…
.storage is good, the price structure on the other hand
