# .xyz domain name checker

.xyz is a generic TLD with no particular meaning, which is the point: it fits anything. It's one of the largest new gTLDs, and Alphabet's abc.xyz gave it early credibility.

Check a name: open https://availablewhois.com/?q=yourname.xyz (replace `yourname`).

## .xyz at a glance

- **Type**: Generic TLD (gTLD)
- **Best for**: Experiments, web3, catch-alls
- **How we check**: Registry RDAP. ICANN requires generic TLD registries to publish registration data, so answers come from the source.

## Worth knowing

- First-year promotions are common. Renewal prices are often higher, so check them.
- Generic TLD, so AvailableWhois gets its answer straight from the registry over RDAP.
- Short and numeric names that are long gone on .com are often still available here.
