Alright. This isn't a very elegant solution but it should at least get you started and works for the specific example you've given. In reality you'd probably want to add some error handling or generalize the logic a bit to work with a broader set of inputs.

type Target struct {
    Service string
    Type string
    Domain string
    Plan string
    Host string
    Region string
    Other string
}

func main() {
    input := `xxxxx:yyyyy:zzz.aaa.bbb.cc:dd:ee:ff`
    t := Target{}
    tokens := strings.Split(input, ":")
    t.Service = tokens[0]
    t.Type = tokens[1]
    subtokens := strings.Split(tokens[2], ".")
    t.Domain = subtokens[0]
    t.Plan = subtokens[1]
    t.Host = subtokens[2]
    t.Region = subtokens[3]
    t.Other = tokens[3]
    fmt.Printf("%v", t)
}
