Register a .xyz Domain From 1.12 USD
Open. Adaptable. Ready.
A Clean Canvas for Your Next Idea.
When the .com version of your concept is already taken, .xyz offers a short, unrestricted alternative. For a project such as nova.xyz, it becomes the single point where prototypes, portfolios and early feedback can live without forcing a forced or lengthy spelling.
- Start with a name that still feels available. Many short, memorable labels remain open under this ending.
- Keep the meaning flexible. Startups, creators and experimental sites can all claim the same suffix without industry limits.
- Grow without renaming. Launch a simple landing page today and expand into tools, stores or communities later under the same address.

Choose the ending that fits the work
.xyz, .com or .online?
Different projects call for different signals. A side experiment, a growing brand and a global product may prefer different suffixes. Weigh audience expectations against availability and ongoing cost.

Practical ways the address can serve
A .xyz Domain for the Work You Are Building
A domain earns its value when people actually use it. These examples show how one address can support a prototype, a portfolio or an early-stage product.
Find Your .xyzEarly Projects
Give the Experiment a Home
Publish a simple landing page, collect interest and test the idea without waiting for a perfect brand.
Creators & Portfolios
Show the Work Clearly
Point the domain at a portfolio, case studies or a personal site and keep the address consistent across channels.
Startups & Tools
Launch Without Renaming Later
Use one short address for waitlists, documentation and early product access as the project develops.
Name Protection
Cover the Ways People Search
When both spellings are free, register .xyz and a matching traditional ending, then redirect one to the other.
After the name is secured
.xyz Domain Management, Kept Simple
Once registered, the address needs clear instructions for visitors and messages. Use the account tools to maintain those connections, monitor the registration and prepare for any future move.
DNS management
Enter the records supplied by your website platform. Confirm the target carefully before overwriting an existing entry.
Nameserver control
Prefer another provider’s DNS? Apply its nameservers so that provider answers queries for the address.
Renewal management
Note the registration end date early enough to arrange payment and keep the public-facing name active.
Transfer support
Request guidance on shifting registrar responsibility, including the steps the registry expects.
Day-to-day control
Why Manage Your .xyz Domain with Truehost?
Registering the name is only the start. These account features help you connect services, handle messages and keep reliable access to the address your project depends on.
One-click Cloudflare push
Use the Cloudflare push option to reduce manual DNS entry when linking that service to your registration.
Clear First-Year Pricing
1.12 USD / first year
See the live first-year figure before finalising a project name or ordering materials.
Transparent Renewal Cost
TSh 56,420 / year
Renewal pricing appears separately so you can plan beyond any introductory rate.
Free DNS management
Update website targets and verification records without buying a separate DNS-management product.
Free email forwarding
A forwarder routes incoming messages to an inbox you already use; it does not replace a full hosted mailbox.
2FA and domain lock
Enable two-factor authentication and available domain locks to reduce the chance of unauthorised account or transfer activity.
Free business email
A no-cost mailbox option is planned. Until it arrives, choose a suitable paid service if your project needs one now.
Free website builder
A free builder is also on the roadmap; do not treat it as available when budgeting for a site you need today.
Not available yet: the roadmap items above form no part of the current purchase. They should not be counted as included email hosting or an included website-building plan.
Connect the project journey
How to Put Your .xyz Domain to Work
Someone may first discover the idea online, send a message and later join a waitlist or portal. Each step can share the same identity. Apply each service’s DNS requirements; different providers can still sit behind one domain.
- Invite people to explore the project at nova.xyz.
- Receive questions via [email protected].
- Offer dedicated spaces such as lab.nova.xyz and app.nova.xyz.
A practical address layout
Organise Around One Memorable Name
Decide which destination sits at the main address and which deserves its own prefix. The examples below are illustrative only and do not claim these names are free.
| Visitor Task | Illustrative Destination | What People Encounter |
|---|---|---|
| Discover the project | nova.xyz | Overview, background and contact options |
| Try the experiment | lab.nova.xyz | Prototypes, demos and early access |
| Access the product | app.nova.xyz | Login, tools and member features |
| Send a message | [email protected] | A branded contact address routed to your chosen mailbox |

.xyz Domain Name Rules
Write the exact spelling before you search. The label to the left of .xyz must follow the registry’s format rules, and a correctly formed spelling can still be reserved or already held by someone else.
Accepted in a .xyz name
Not accepted
Check Sample Spellings
| Candidate | Format Check | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
nova.xyz | Valid spelling | Uses only permitted characters |
nova-lab24.xyz | Valid spelling | Combines letters, a middle hyphen and digits |
-nova.xyz | Invalid spelling | A leading hyphen breaks the format rule |
nova_lab.xyz | Invalid spelling | The underscore falls outside the allowed character set |
Gather the details you will need
Your .xyz Registration Checklist
Individuals, teams and organisations may apply for .xyz. No industry affiliation or documentation is required. Provide accurate details for the person or body that will hold the registration.
Information you need
What registration does not supply
Before you register
Check related endings
Think about how someone who hears the project name might type it. Search any important variation before printing an address you may later want to change.
Review existing rights
A successful availability check is not a trade-mark clearance. Look at existing brands and relevant rights before adopting a name for public use.
Use a lasting email address
Select an inbox you can still reach even if this domain later becomes unavailable. That simplifies registration queries and urgent account notices.

| Permitted duration | The registry accepts periods of one through ten years. Confirm which options Truehost offers for the selected order. |
| Label length | Typically 1–63 characters for the portion before .xyz, subject to registry technical limits. |
| Character set | Basic Latin letters, decimal digits and permitted hyphens; leading or trailing hyphens are excluded. |
| IDN support | Supported where offered by the registry and registrar; confirm availability at the time of order. |
| Capitalisation | Changing letter case does not create a different registration. |
| Other suffixes | A purchase covers this ending only; matching names under other endings require additional orders. |
DNS & Registry ServicesTechnical configuration and disclosure
| Property | .xyz requirement |
|---|---|
| DNSSEC | Your DNS host must support signing and the necessary DS records for DNSSEC to be configured. |
| Nameserver allowance | Multiple nameserver entries are permitted within registry technical limits. |

Lifecycle & ProtectionDeadlines and complaint handling
| Property | .xyz requirement |
|---|---|
| Renewal deadline | Renew before expiry. Grace and redemption periods follow standard ICANN and registry rules; exact windows are confirmed by the registrar. |
| Disputed registrations | Allegations of abusive registration may be handled under the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (UDRP). |
Protect a working address
What Happens If .xyz Expires?
An expired address can interrupt more than a website: contact forms, password resets and project messages may all depend on it. Arrange renewal before the end date. The registry’s recovery window is a final chance, not a planned renewal method.
Active
Confirm that payment arrangements and contact details remain usable while the registration is current.
Renewal Due
The displayed renewal charge is TSh 56,420. Complete payment early, especially if approval from another person is required.
Expired
During the initial grace window after expiry the address may still resolve. Act at once rather than treating continued service as proof of renewal.
Recovery window
Once suspension begins, connected services stop. Recovery may still be possible for a limited time and can involve extra fees.
Cancelled
After the recovery window closes the unrenewed name is scheduled for release. Another party may then register it; recovery is no longer assured.
Select a registration period
Plan Beyond the First Year

Change registrar without renaming
Already Hold a .xyz Domain?
You can switch the registrar without selecting a new project address. Prepare account access and DNS details first, then follow the standard transfer process. Registrar transfer and website migration remain separate tasks.
Transfer — TSh 41,574- 01

Finish the transfer steps
Follow the authorisation process from the current registrar and Truehost. Confirm that existing website and mail destinations remain correct after the handover.
Questions before you decide
.xyz Domain FAQs
Practical answers for founders, creators and teams choosing an address, connecting services or moving an existing registration.
Is .xyz restricted to certain industries?
No. Any individual or organisation may hold a .xyz registration. There is no industry affiliation or documentation requirement. The applicant must still supply accurate details and meet the registry’s terms.
Does the first-year price continue every year?
Not necessarily. The registration figure is 1.12 USD; the separate renewal figure is TSh 56,420. Plan ongoing costs from the renewal amount and review the payable total before each order.
Does .xyz improve search rankings?
No ending guarantees a ranking position. Choose an address that fits the project, then focus on useful content, a usable website and a clear description of the work. The domain should support that effort, not replace it.
Can I register the name before the website is finished?
Yes. You can secure an available registration while the site is still being planned. Keep contact details and renewal arrangements up to date, and connect hosting when you have pages ready to publish.
Does registration include a working email inbox?
No hosted mailbox is created simply by registering an address. Choose a mailbox product if you need to send and receive project email; a forwarding feature serves a different purpose and routes messages into an existing inbox.
Must website and email use the same provider?
No. Your website can use one compatible platform and your mail another. Apply each provider’s DNS instructions carefully so a website change does not unintentionally interrupt incoming messages.
Can I keep .xyz indefinitely?
You can retain the registration by renewing it while eligible and complying with the applicable terms. It is not a one-time permanent purchase. The registry allows durations up to ten years; the options offered in your order appear at checkout.
What if my preferred project name is already taken?
Try a clear, relevant variation that people can remember, or consider a different ending. Avoid a confusing imitation of another brand. Do not assume that an inactive-looking website means the registration is available to buy.
Should a matching .com point to the same website?
If you control both registrations, you can choose a primary address and configure the other to redirect there. Buying .xyz does not automatically give you .com; check and acquire the matching registration separately if it matters to the project.
Why must registration details stay accurate?
The registry or registrar may need to contact you about the registration. Outdated details can make validation, account recovery and urgent notices harder to handle. Update them when the project moves, changes ownership or replaces its contact inbox.
Is transferring a .xyz domain the same as moving hosting?
No. A registrar transfer changes who administers the registration. Website files, databases and mailboxes may remain where they are. If you also want new hosting, plan that migration separately and coordinate any DNS changes.
Can I recover a .xyz after services stop?
Possibly, if the registration is still inside the registry’s recovery window. Contact the registrar promptly once expiry is noticed; once the name is fully released, recovery is no longer guaranteed and another party may register it.
