What is .xyz?
.xyz is a new generic top-level domain delegated in 2014 and operated by XYZ.COM LLC, with registry services run on the CentralNic platform. It carries no particular meaning, which is the point: it is positioned as a general-purpose extension for any kind of site.
Who can register it
Open to anyone through ICANN-accredited registrars, with no residency or documentation requirements.
WHOIS, RDAP and privacy
An RDAP service for .xyz (rdap.centralnic.com) is published in the IANA RDAP bootstrap file. OrbitProbe reads registration data from it first, as structured JSON: registrar, creation and expiry dates, EPP status codes and nameservers. For gTLDs, personal contact data has been largely redacted from public output since the rules ICANN introduced in 2018 in response to the GDPR. In most lookups you will see redacted fields or the details of a privacy service instead of a registrant name. OrbitProbe only ever shows the organisation name and country.
