[AccessD] OT:Domains

Ha.  No, not quite.

I am not referring to the domain TLD but the actual domain name within the
TLD.

Have a look at, for example:

www.mg.com
www.mg.net

some provider  must have sold these 2-character domain names, but who?

Seems like most 2 letter domains are governments.  Have you started your
own nation?

Jim,
You are missing the point of my question - this is my fault for not
explaining it correctly, sorry.

My problem is that I cannot find any service provider to sell me a two
character domain, they are all saying that the minimum length domain
they will handle is 3 characters.  They are not saying that I cannot
have one for legal or other reasons,  but only that they wont be
bothered to sell/handle one.

Go to 1and1.co.uk and try to buy a domain with two characters and the
software  falls over - it is only programmed to handle 3+ characters.

Go to 123reg.co.uk and ask them why and they will say they only handle 3
charters  upwards.

I think someone has already got http://www.mw.com but I see no reason
why only two letters would be restricted unless somewhere some
programmer decided that two characters or less was an error.

Can anybody say why is that I cannot seem to register a two digit
domain.  I know they exist (eg, www.mg.ru) but for some reason I cannot
find a service to allocate a two character domain.
thanks
Max
