CentralNic LON:CNIC, the global software platform company supporting subscription web services including domain names, has this morning told DirectorsTalk that it has renegotiated and renewed its exclusive wholesaler contract with XYZ.com, owner of the .xyz Top-Level Domain, until May 2032. CentralNic will continue to be the exclusive wholesaler for .xyz and any other TLD acquired by XYZ.com.
CentralNic will receive a fixed fee based on the volume of .xyz registrations and subscriptions managed.
As one of the most popular domains in the world, .xyz is the go-to domain ending for the next generation of internet users. High profile businesses and individuals using .xyz include Google, Mark Zuckerberg, the founders of Skype, and Deloitte. The suffix has seen the most adoption from startups and entrepreneurs, as well as businesses in emerging internet markets including Indonesia and China.
Ben Crawford, CEO of CentralNic, said: “The long-standing excellent relationship between CentralNic and .xyz has been updated to normalise the Company’s revenues and profits going forward.”
