Insanely bad reputation, one hosting provider decided to sell .XYZ domains for 1 dollar per year.
This resulted in people with malicious intent buying up domains en masse to use it for malware delivery/phishing/whatever.
I didn't realize that. I use a .xyz for a lot of my personal stuff and didn't realize this. I wanted basically
.website... i didnt want .com or .org or anything with tld that meant something, so xyz felt nice. Also, the domain I wanted with any popular tld was insanely expensive and i got my xyz for cheap when it was brand new (not for 1 dollar though).Maybe I need to look into new domains, but I probably will just stick with it since its primarily for personal use anyway.
