.xyz is a generic top-level domain, delegated in 2014, and IANA records XYZ.COM LLC as its sponsoring organisation, in the United States of America. The registry points registrants at nic.xyz for registration services. That delegation record was last updated on 12 Aug 2025; if the registry has changed hands since, IANA is where it shows up first.

XYZ.COM LLC publishes no qualifying criteria for .xyz beyond age: its own registration terms require a registrant to be eighteen or older, and call any registration by someone younger unauthorised. Its registry agreement with ICANN, signed 5 December 2013, is recorded as Base, Non-Sponsored — no sponsoring community stands behind the extension, so there is no community test to pass.

Availability of .xyz names is checked against the registry's own RDAP server (rdap.centralnic.com) and DNS-over-HTTPS. On this site your browser asks that server directly for a first, provisional answer; our server's check confirms it, and only that answer is cached. Premium suspects (such as very short names) and brand-protected labels also get a third signal, Fastly Domain Research, before they are shown as available.
The lowest renewal among the 6 registrars we track is $11.20 a year at Cloudflare. The highest is $26.19 at GoDaddy, so the same .xyz name costs $14.99 a year more depending on where it sits. Prices verified between 13 Sep 2026 and 4 Oct 2026.
