I've been using .xyz domains for a while now because of how cheap they are (around $2 on Spaceship for first year), especially as a solo dev building all kinds of side projects that would benefit from having their own domains.

I recently launched an app on a .xyz domain that's been getting steady traffic and some people actually signing up for it (it's tinytune.xyz if you're curious to see).

Doing a quick Google search I found a few other popular services using .xyz domains:

1. MEE6 (the popular Discord bot): mee6.xyz

2. Together AI (used to be on .xyz before going over to .ai, an example perhaps of starting with a cheaper domain before going more expensive): together.xyz

3. Block (large fintech): block.xyz

4. Starship (millions in funding): starship.xyz

Thanks, this is exactly what I needed to hear. The Together AI example is interesting- starting cheap on .xyz then upgrading to .ai once you have traction/revenue makes sense. Appreciate the examples and the PDF link! How's tinytune.xyz doing for you SEO-wise? Any issues with Google indexing?
