> we would occasionally get feedback from users and prospects that the .xyz domain felt unprofessional

I had a .xyz domain. I thought it was easier, the domain was short to type.

I was completely wrong. I asked a few non-technical friends. They said they would never use my site because of the .xyz, it felt like a spam site. I redid the site on .net with a longer domain name - much better results.
