Daniel Negari of .XYZ and XYZ.com
“Follow your dreams – they will come true.”
That statement comes from Daniel Negari, founder of XYZ.com and CEO of Cyber2Media, which acquires and develops high-end domain properties.
In the wake of the new gTLD program at ICANN, Negari applied for .xyz, .now and .college.
Yesterday, the application for .xyz remained uncontested:
“Today was a big day. My first of three ICANN applications for a gTLD was approved. That means that sometime later this year I will finally have my own gTLD.
For those of you who know me well; I have wanted this since 2006 when I learned people had taken over country codes to turn into gTLD’s. I even pursued buying my own country so I could rename the country to obtain a strategic country code to run my own gTLD. Hopefully soon my other two applications will be approved.
With .xyz uncontested; I am sure to bring that to the world early next year. Stay tuned at xyz.com.”
Daniel Negari is no newcomer to entrepreneurship, having started at the age of 12 with a custom-made computer business.
He followed up with real estate and in the rise of the housing bubble, he launched Beverly Hills Mint, a high-end real estate finance business, that specializes in brokering commercial and residential loans in excess of $5 million dollars.
Congratulations to Daniel and we’ll be looking closely regarding his upcoming gTLD applications.
