'''[[IPv6]] (Internet Protocol Version 6)''' is the version of [[Internet protocol]] which supports the 128-bit [[IP Address|IP addresses]]. It has been developed as the next generation protocol to increase the 4 billion IP Addresses available and it will eventually replace the nearly exhausted [[IPv4]], which supports 32-bit address space. IPv6 has been developed to provide advantages over the current internet protocol. It is expected to solve several network problems by eliminating the need for Network Address Translation (NAT).

'''[[.xyz|.XYZ]]''' is an active [[gTLD]] that was proposed in [[ICANN]]'s [[New gTLD Program]]. The [[Registry Operator]] is [[XYZ.COM LLC]], and the company was the sole applicant for the string.

As early as 1990, internet experts predicted that the 4 billion available IP addresses under the IPv4 were not enough to accommodate the rapid growth of internet users worldwide. This expansion signaled a great problem, which meant deciding whether to limit the size and growth rate of the Internet or to disrupt the network by changing to new strategies or technology.

In a press-release posted August 10, 2015, Google co-founder Larry Page revealed that the company, now recognized as [[Alphabet]] will use the .xyz extension (as abc.xyz). This new extension use by one of the largest Internet conglomerates is seen by many as a significant validation of the domain industry and its efforts to broaden usage from [[.com]] to more carefully defined extensions.
