This is a total shame because .xyz is extremely catchy and, in my mind, could be the new .com in a few years. All the other TLDs are hard to remember -- in my experience, people will ask "was it my.website or mywebsite.com?" but if you tell someone "it's mywebsite.xyz" they always get it right.

This has not been my experience at at; people assume saying .xyz is a joke and then act surprised when the URL doesn't work and you say "no really, it ends in .xyz".

Roll your eyes all you want, but get the dotcom.
