.storage Domain Names
33 registrars compared — cheapest from $465.95 at Spaceship
"Storage" is a word we barely think about until we run out of it. This gTLD, delegated in late 2015, hands that concrete noun a corner of the internet — with a registry that also runs a sprawling family of novelty TLDs.

A Suffix Born in the 2012 New gTLD Land Grab
The name entered the root zone on December 10, 2015, one of the thousands of strings that emerged from ICANN's second major expansion of the domain namespace. That round, which opened in 2012, invited anyone with the filing fee to apply for their own top-level domain, and the result was a flood of generic terms and brand names. .storage came out of that free-for-all, so it's a commercial gTLD by birth, not a sponsored community namespace.
XYZ.COM's Odd Couple of a Portfolio
Run by XYZ.COM LLC, the registry behind .storage is better known for .xyz, .college, and .christmas. Those names feel like the result of a dartboard of dictionary words, and .storage slots right in — a plain-English noun with no geographic or industry owner behind it. The registry's WHOIS server is whois.nic.storage, and the official site lives at nic.storage. What the portfolio lacks in thematic cohesion it makes up for in scale.
A Generic Word With a Narrow Pricing Window
Because .storage is a commodity word rather than a branded string, registrants can shop across roughly 33 different registrars, yet the price spread stays narrow. That suggests a market of interested buyers who mostly see the name as a utility — not one where a clever premium label can charge a fortune. It shakes out as a budget to mid-range extension. To see how the registry prices other strings in its family, compare .storage with .game or .pics.
What You Actually Get: A Literal Label
There is no policy twist here — no restricted registration, no sunrise claims, no trademark-heavy dispute process layered on top of ICANN's standard UDRP. For a domain like storage, the appeal is literal: a company that stores things, a product that manages data, even a social media profile that wants to sound utilitarian. The delegation round that created .storage also spawned dozens of similar dictionary-name TLDs. This one just happens to name a thing nearly everyone needs supplies for.
