The .xyz Extention

[Jason]

I like it and have used it for a hosting forum. What do you think its appeal might be? What does xyz mean? I guess it could mean any choice out of many. Is there more meanings?

I was once using a dot xyz domain for a forum, I still have a blog using dot xyz extension. I discovered this domain when google registered their Alphabet company using this extension. I think these domains are cool but it is sad that a lot of people associate these domains with spam and scam.

I have seen some sites that have used the .xyz domain extension but it has never been an extension I have used myself for a domain.

Yes, these domain extensions do seem to be associated with spam and it is a shame as most of the time, the sites that have this domain extension have a lot of good content and are worth checking out. Unfortunately, I feel because some have used it for spamming purposes, that is why it's got the reputation it has.

I was curious though as to whether there was any meaning behind the domain extension so I did a quick Google search and found this

The domain name came about both because the three letters are the last in the Latin script alphabet, and to refer to people from Generations X, Y, and Z.

xyz domain name into limelight when Google registered a domain with xyz extension of its mother company Alphabet. The domains were primarily offered for under a dollar in the initial days, so a lot of people bought them started using for spam and scam.
