.xyz is a top-level domain name. It was proposed in ICANN's New generic top-level domain (gTLD) Program, and became available to the general public on June 2, 2014. XYZ.COM and CentralNic are the registries for the domain.
In 2015, XYZ.com proposed that ICANN allow it to to ban thousands of potential .xyz domain names from registration by global registrants in order to comply with censorship demanded by the People's Republic of China.[1] XYZ.com hopes to become an officially recognised registry in China,[2] which would allow it to directly offer domains to Chinese customers.[3]
