All about 2 letter.com’s

I found a great resource all about 2 letter .coms

.com domains that fall into the LL.com format. This is the familiar term known by domainers. Once upon a time 2 letter .com’s were free to register, circa 1992.

They were still available to register after that, but for a mere $100 a pop with Network solutions. In fact there was a time when single character .com domains were free to register, and most were dropped as people did not see the point in owning and couldn’t afford when the yearly renewal fees increased!

Icann then introduced new rules so that single and 2 character .coms couldn’t be newly registered. All that were left registered were honoured but as soon as any dropped, that was it. They never returned. This is still the case, and for .org and .net

It was generally the original cyber geeks who registered these domains along with the largest companies on the planet. It’s a very interesting look to see who got it, who still gets it, and who owns what!

Here is a sample screenshot below of the page at vb.com and a link so that you can enjoy the research.
