Why .xyz Is the Fastest-Growing TLD for Tech Startups

.xyz is the fastest-growing TLD on the internet. With 10 million registrations and 240% year-over-year growth, it has become the default choice for companies building the future. Alphabet, Block, and hundreds of VC-backed startups use .xyz.

The Numbers

The growth is not just in registrations. Companies using .xyz have collectively raised over $5 billion in venture funding. Alphabet’s choice of abc.xyz legitimized the TLD. Block followed with block.xyz. In Y Combinator’s recent batches, .com usage has dropped to 46% while alternative TLDs have grown. Among the alternatives, .xyz leads by volume.

The secondary market for premium .xyz names has also matured. World.xyz sold for $80,000 in June 2026. Short, brandable .xyz names are the safest investment category in the .xyz market.
