XYZ Registry is celebrating the 12th birthday of .xyz after surpassing 10 million domain registrations across its portfolio. The once unconventional extension has become especially popular with AI startups, blockchain projects, developers, and forward thinking tech brands, including NERDS.xyz.
Rocket.net is expanding beyond traditional managed WordPress hosting by bundling WP Umbrella into agency hosting plans. The partnership adds centralized management tools, automated updates, vulnerability scanning, uptime monitoring, white-label reports, and AI workflows powered by Claude.
Rocket.net is letting AI assistants like ChatGPT take control of WordPress management using MCP, and since NERDS.xyz runs on it, I’m about to find out if this is actually useful or just more AI hype.
Hosting.com has acquired Rocket.net, keeping the brand alive but folding it into its larger hosting empire. We use Rocket.net ourselves at NERDS.xyz and absolutely love it.
