6-9 are usable
I got 6 digits .xyz from Spaceship for less than 1 USD per year.
I think you can use color hex as domain name
Besides running a botnet cnc vector, why would anyone want numerical xyz domains? At $11/year a .com is not that much more expensive and is much more usable. Now that Let's Encrypt is offering free TLS certificates for IP addresses, you might as well skip the domain itself and just host on naked IPv4, too.
In any case, going direct to registry for the numerical domains is probably best.
Just need to mention, netcup gives away normal .de domains at 0.11 euro per month.
It doesn't need to be numerical. Super cheap.
It is only two or three days a year that they offer that.
Numerical .xyz is 67 cents versus $11 for a .com.
yes, there are many .xyz numerical domains available. good for throw-away or temp projects. Not something to build brand on or direct someone to pay.
for example: Serverbaskets.5934940.xyz - this look spam, phishing-type url, though its not.
Caution: Hurricane Electric authoritative DNS service disallows all-numeric domains.
There could be similar restrictions in other services.
Cloudflare allows them.
.XYZ: 10 years @ $0.67/year = $6.70 for 10 years
.COM: 10 years @ $11/year = $110 for 10 years
For 8~ months of a .COM you can get a numerical .XYZ for 10 years...
Spaceship is actually cheaper @ $0.67/year instead of $0.99/year with the registry.
Interestingly you can see all .XYZ numerical registration statistics here: https://gen.xyz/number
Try with BunnyDNS too, might work.
I did say that in my original comment:
And what is easier to remember/use/tell people to visit, 879205571469.xyz or nikvm.com? If you're registering a domain that you intend to use for 10 years, or that has the potential to be used for 10 years, you might as well register something that doesn't look like a a Western Digital serial number.
$11/year for a .com, assuming your project is at least halfway memorable/interesting/monetizable, is not a big outlay. And if you need a temp domain for testing, then delegating a subdomain on a good infrastructure domain you already own is $0.00/year for 10 years instead of $0.67/year.
OP didn't tell about usage of domain. You can mask specific sites with xyz behind a com or so.
It depends on what you want to do (exactly as you said). And numbers also have a meaning and many numbers are memorable (think about your DOB for example). Btw: many people already registered the .XYZ domains of the decimals of π (pi) ; and you have many other constants or values in the mathematical/physical/chemical world...
879205571469.xyz isn't a good example because it is too long... IF you wanted to make a business out of this: potentially you could make something for geeks better than nikvm.com, let's say you sell only yearly plans (12 months) for $9.99/yr with 1024MB of RAM it would give you the perfectly marketable: 129991024.xyz ! Some people remember numbers more than names...
What do you mean by masking?
This digit domains are registered mostly for shit and bad stuff, likely a cheaper option than a .top was in the days. If yours get banned, you can return with a new one and pay almost nothing.
You could change them once a week in a monthly turn.
.XYZ are the first that got on the banned list with us this moth, so, have fun with it.
qq.com was the second, the list is pretty long
Banned in which sense: you're not accepting customers using such domains?
You can use those numbers.xyz domains for websites related to dates. Birthdays, weddings, etc.
22122025.xyz (or 20251222.xyz) for today
Alphabet, the parent of Google, uses a .XYZ domain for their primary corporate website.
