Their new domain name says a lot about them abc.xyz Seriously? They just "decided" to create a new TLD?
Much as I like a good conspiracy theory about tech giants... Nope! .xyz has been around for a little while now. http://icannwiki.com/.xyz [...] On December 5, 2013 XYZ.COM LLC received a Registry Agreement signed by ICANN for .xyz [...] [...] On the 16th December 2014, it was reported that .xyz was the first new gTLD to reach 750,000 registered domain name registrations. It's owned/managed by XYZ.COM LLC (https://xyz.xyz). They also have the .college and .rent TLDs, and (from a few very rudimentary checks) that company does not appear to be related to Google (for starters, they host on Amazon AWS...).
