Ari Levy reporting in CNBC: Negari is the founder and CEO of XYZ.com, an Internet domain registry that owns alternative suffixes like .rent and .college. His 10-person company also owns .xyz. Abc.xyz is the web address for Google’s new parent entity, Alphabet Inc. “Our registry is lighting up right now,” said Negari, in an interview Monday afternoon following Google’s announcement. “I’m seeing all kinds of names being registered. I just got 250 names registered in the last 60 seconds. It’s crazy.”
