A URL shortener managed by registrar GoDaddy. This shortener is very popular with spammers, so the presence of an x.co link in an email message may be an indicator of spam.
Spam links on x.co can be reported by email to abuse at godaddy dot com. In my experience, they act promptly to remove such links, so it is worth reporting any that you see.

This is a URL redirection site that is used by scam artists and others who want to hide their tracks. This site was found through fake youtube video postings with redirection URLs embedded therein and also in spam for Russian knock-off watches.

Thank you for posting to this thread and working to make the Internet a safer place!
Please note that WOT now rates the shortened destination URL with their add-on and no longer displays the rating for X.CO, which should ensure safer browsing experiences. As you're rating is directly for X.CO (Go Daddy.com's URL) shortener, your rating should be based off X.CO's performance and not the destination URL.
If you come across any malicious X.CO shortened URLs you may report them to our Abuse Team 24/7 at Abuse@GoDaddy.com
Thank you,

x.co - This domain or a related subdomain was detected as a confirmed phishing site in January 2012.
It was listed at ***** where you can search on it for more details.
Phish sites may later be cleaned up and made safe again, but owners need to improve their security to prevent reinfection.
Beware of links that look like a bank, but actually send you to a different site.
Here are some other examples of phishing sites for your education:
*****
is actually the site ***** - nothing to do with Paypal
*****
is actually ***** and nothing to do with Paypal
direct-certs.bankofamerica.com.IDSTKOI.COM/direct/certupdate/
is actually IDSTKOI.COM and nothing to do with Bank of America

This particular site is being utilized to redirect traffic to numerous spam sites. That's a common way for spammers to keep a site away from blacklists, fool spam filters, and give it a somewhat longer life span.

As you can see from our comment on this thread we take these matters very seriously. Please note that WOT now rates the shortened destination URL with their add-on and no longer displays the rating for X.CO, which should make user's browsing experience safer. As you're rating is directly for X.CO, Go Daddy.com's URL shortener, your rating should be based off X.CO's performance and not the destination URL.
Please also note that our Abuse Team has taken action on your complaint of http://x.co/LySa and it no longer directs to the original page.
Thank you,

This is GoDaddy's link shortening service. You can trust this site as you would "bit.ly" and other benign link shortening services. You can use short link expanding services, such as ***** to reveal the actual destinations of shortened links before you visit them.
As with all link shortening services, this site can be used to obfuscate links to dangerous sites; however, this site itself is safe and is not intended for malicious use. The front page contains a prominent link to Report Abuse, and there is no solicitation for "Paid-To-Link" schemes which support fraudulent black hat search engine rank inflation schemes.

This Site is a reputable link shortening service and used extensively by reputable users.
