Guys, I know xyz domains are cheap to get but I highly suggest to not use them for anything serious. The XYZ TLD has a very bad reputation and will lead to situations where your domain gets flagged, emails from the domain appears in the spam folder etc.


I didn't know it was cheap or had bad rep—it just seemed cool to me and I thought about putting my personal site under that domain. Might have to reconsider.



Honestly, that kinda makes me prefer XYZ for my personal stuff I'm not trying to get reach for, and that I don't want any corporate sheen on.

If you're trying to launch a product though, it's something to keep in mind.
