Up with 139 top level domain name applications — XYZ revs

Up with 139 top level domain name applications — XYZ revs

Firm behind .xyz and 34 other TLDs makes a big splash.

.xyz logo has white letters in a purple outline

Daniel Negari’s fresh top level domain name empire is continuing to expand.

XYZ.com LLC applied for 139 top level domain names, making it the third-largest applicant in the 2026 round by my count.

The firm right now runs 35 top level domains, counting its namesake .xyz.

XYZ didn’t apply for most of the domains it now runs in the 2012 round; it later went on an buyout spree, buying domains from other firms.

Thirty-nine of its applications appear to be uncontested, which is a higher percentage than some of its rivals. Here are the ones that appear uncontested:

.ass
.automation
.bao – among the firm’s TLDs aimed at China, where it has a big registration base
.bay
.body
.chi
.cmo
.cosmetics
.defense
.electric
.ent
.gas
.hvac
.industrial
.interiors
.jia
.kai
.lake
.learning
.mad
.mag
.nova
.nut
.ranch
.scam
.sea
.stone
.street
.summit
.sus
.ten
.tex – will be interested to see if Texas tries to oppose this
.unlimited
.van
.via
.war
.water
.west
.wood
