XNXX is a website for sharing and viewing pornographic videos. As of November 2022, it was classified as the 14th most visited website in the world by Similarweb.[1] It launched in 2000 and is currently hosted in Paris, with servers and offices in Montreal, Tokyo and Newark.[citation needed]
XNXX is owned by WGCZ Holding, the same company that runs XVideos, another popular pornographic website.[2]
A Business Insider ranking from 2018 placed it in the three most popular porn sites worldwide.[3]
History
XNXX was founded in 1997.[4] WGCZ Holding's ownership was first revealed in 2014 when WGCZ brought a Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy case against a similar domain in 2014.[2][5][6][7]
In March 2016, The Next Web identified WGCZ Holding as a Polish company headed by Stephane Michael Pacaud and Deborah Malorie Pacaud.[8]
In 2018, the Government of India blocked XNXX, among other porn websites, after a Uttarakhand High Court court order demanding the same in a rape case where the perpetrators stated they were motivated to do so after watching online pornography.[9]
Statistics and data
In 2018, XNXX was classified as the most visited porn site in Singapore[10] and the fifth most visited porn site in India.[11]
In January 2023, The Financial Times reported that, WGCZ tube sites XVideos and XNXX host 6 billion visits a month.[12]
