Excellent article, a good reminder that buying the expensive TLD will build trust and value going forward.

this is one of the largest problems to .xyz .. yes, they are uber-successful pushing their tld, though there are way too many bad players using it to to historic cheap prices using it.

I also have had a lot of problems at HostMaria when dealing with hosted .xyz domains, especially if the hosting was ordered with crypto > they were mostly used for bad things :/ .. had to have a chat with them, and thankfully, they have moved away (probably to a different budget host)

It’s too bad for the good players who invested in high priced .xyz domains for their companies, these people will get thrown under the bus.

I’ve noticed a big spike in .live spammer and click bait farmers lately, another challenge for the streaming media crowd.
