.xyz domain availability checker
Type a name to see whether its .xyz is registered, read live from the .xyz registry's RDAP server. If it is taken, the same name is checked in 17 other extensions below it. A free .xyz costs from $1.99 the first year but renews at $14.21 or more, so budget for the renewal, not the promotion.
Free, no sign-in. Free names show the price and a Register button; checkout confirms the name with the registrar again before you pay. Every extension at once: domain availability checker; mixed extensions in one list: bulk domain checker.

.xyz availability questions
Why is a .xyz $2 the first year and $14 after that?
The first year is a promotional price set by the registry; the renewal is the real one. On 24 October 2026 a .xyz cost $1.99 at Dynadot and $2.04 at Porkbun to register, and $14.45 and $14.21 to renew, so five years come to $58.88 at Porkbun.
Who uses .xyz?
Alphabet, which put its corporate site on abc.xyz when Google reorganized in 2015, and many crypto projects: mirror.xyz and paradigm.xyz were both taken on 4 November 2026. Anyone can register one, for any site.
Does a .xyz hurt search rankings or email?
Not search: Google has said since 2015 that new extensions like .xyz rank like any other. Mail is where cheap extensions pay a price, because throwaway registrations attract spam and some filters treat a new .xyz sender with suspicion. Set up SPF, DKIM and DMARC before you send from one.
How is a .xyz name checked here?
Through CentralNic's RDAP server, which runs .xyz for XYZ.COM LLC: a record back means registered, not found means free. Too few .xyz names have been checked on domhaul to publish a taken share, so the six examples on this page are the measured answers.
