XNXX is owned by WGCZ Holding, the same company that runs XVideos, another popular pornographic website.[2]

History
XNXX was founded in 1997.[4] According to the website, the domain name was first copyrighted in 2000. It is unclear when WGCZ Holding acquired XNXX, as the website's ownership was unknown until WGCZ brought a Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy case against a similar domain in 2014.[2][5]
