As everyone knows, xyz domain registrars are running promotions, and 6-digit all-numeric .xyz domains are very cheap.
Previously, everyone was snagging them on Spaceship: $0.67 for one year, or $6.70 for 10 years, equivalent to 45 RMB.
However, starting in September, Spaceship added a $0.22 annual service fee to domains, bringing the 10-year price of an .xyz domain to $8.90.
By comparison, Cloudflare currently charges $0.85 per year for .xyz domains. Combined with Cloudflare’s powerful domain management tools, grabbing one through Cloudflare is now the best choice.

The process is very simple, and Cloudflare also supports Chinese. There are just a few things to note:
-
You need a Cloudflare account;
-
The domain you apply to purchase must be 6 digits, numbers only, and end in .xyz;
-
From the homepage, go to “Domains” - “Register” and click the blue “Buy domain” button. First, check whether the numeric domain you want has already been registered. After searching, wait a moment until it shows “Premium” and says “Renews at $0.85 per year”; then it is available;
-
Cloudflare supports three payment methods: Apple Pay, Google Pay, and credit cards. Other methods, such as Alipay, are not supported;
-
When purchasing, you must first buy one year, then renew for eight years. After 24 hours, go back and renew the final year. Don’t ask me how I know—Cloudflare’s code is just written like this;
-
This gives you 10 years in total for $8.50, or 57 RMB altogether.
