gTLDModernA .xyz domain costs about $1.99 to register and $13.99/year to renew. It is a gTLD operated by XYZ Registry. Anyone can register one. Cheap, generic, and widely adopted. Watch the gap between first-year and renewal pricing.
Prices are indicative (USD) from typical budget registrars and are reviewed periodically. First-year promos are excluded where possible because renewal is the cost that compounds. Always confirm live pricing at the registrar.
Watch the renewal trap
.xyz is often sold with a cheap first year ($1.99) and renews much higher ($13.99/year). If you plan to keep it, the renewal price is the real cost. Multiply by the number of years you expect to hold it.
