    xyz isn’t that cheap (and shady (in reputation and pricing practices)), you might wanna pick a better tld.
    I don’t see a wholesale price so it’s hard to judge with certainty, but xyz might be around 14$/y. Dynadot is selling .com at a loss, so I assume they do the same for xyz. Don’t use them, they will make that money off you some other way.

    Wholesale for .com and .org is 11$; I recommend njal.la who charge 15$ and for those 4$ add the by far best privacy available for domain registration.

    For a cheap reliable tld, maybe .eu is a good pick. From the looks, the wholesale price is 0, so legitimage registrar’s costs can get very low. .eu only allows non-profit registrars.

      Do note that njalla isn’t a real registrar like all others. With normal registrars you are the legal owner of a domain name and your registrar has to follow ICANN rules. If you rent through njalla they own the domain and can do whatever they want with it.
