As mentioned on the 18th of May, I’ll be documenting my new gTLD journey as of this point and will let you guys know what I bought as well as what my plans/results are.

Yesterday, I picked up Stocks.XYZ, my first landrush domain (all of the other ones have been bought during the general availability phase). The domain will have a standard renewal fee and I plan on turning it into a megasite with 100+ articles.

As some of you know, MegaSites.com (my development business) was launched “officially” back in April and as the name suggests, its business model revolves around building large/genuinely useful sites.

With Stocks.XYZ, I plan on doing just that. From general or let’s call them “beginner-friendly” articles to more advanced stuff, I will try to develop a website about stocks which can turn a complete beginner into someone reasonably knowledgeable.

I’ll post a case study update after the site goes live and whenever I have information worth sharing.

As mentioned previously, Stocks.XYZ is a landrush domain.

I also pre-registered and then bought some general availability dot xyz domains but I’ll post another update about those once I know for sure which ones I got. Those that I bought directly are already in my possession and as far as the ones I pre-registered are concerned, I currently know that one of them will go to auction. To avoid confusions, I’ll post about them once I’m 100% certain what the final list is and once the “domain for sale” landing pages are up (I’ll set up a simple “domain for sale” landing page for each domain, just like the ones I used for the new gTLD domains mentioned in my first case study post).
