Check the renewal price on any .xyz
.xyz is often advertised with a very cheap first year. Some registrars sell it for a few dollars up front, then renew it at several times that price. The number that matters is what you’ll pay every year after.
Here it’s $42 for the first year and $42 at renewal. If you’re comparing, add up the first year and every renewal for as long as you plan to keep the name.
A .xyz suits side projects, portfolios, events and experiments, where the name matters more than the extension. For an Australian business’s main site, .com.au or .au is usually the clearer choice.
