How Your .xyz Domain Can Work
A single .xyz name can power your public website, branded email, app landing pages and documentation. Subdomains and DNS records keep each service organised under the same modern identity.
- Publish the main site at yourproject.xyz.
- Create professional addresses such as [email protected].
- Run separate services on app.yourproject.xyz or docs.yourproject.xyz.
One brand, several services
Organise Everything Under One Address
Use the main domain for the public face of your project and subdomains for specialised tools.
| Service | Example address | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Main website | yourproject.xyz | Project information, landing pages and contact |
| Application | app.yourproject.xyz | Product access and user dashboard |
| Documentation | docs.yourproject.xyz | Guides, API references and support |
| Project email | [email protected] | Consistent team and public communication |

Is .xyz better than .com or .online for my project?

Can I create email addresses on my .xyz domain?
Yes. Point the domain to a compatible email provider and create addresses such as [email protected].

Yes. Update the nameservers or individual DNS records to the values supplied by your chosen hosting platform.
How many years can I register a .xyz domain for?
Available terms are shown during checkout. One-year and multi-year options are commonly offered, subject to registry and registrar rules.
Which characters are allowed in a .xyz name?
Use unaccented letters, numbers and hyphens placed inside the name. Spaces, underscores, other punctuation and a hyphen at either end are not accepted.
Does buying .xyz also give me the matching .com?
No. Each extension is a separate registration. Search both versions if you want to control the matching brand names.
Who operates the .xyz registry?
XYZ.COM LLC operates the .xyz generic top-level domain. Truehost handles search, registration, billing, account tools and customer support for the domains sold on this page.
