[AccessD] OT:Domains

Well one reason might be that there are just so much fewer two character domains. You have only 26 letters and 10 numerals to play with. If my math is right that means there are only 936 allowed combinations (a domain name cannot start with a number).

Also it may be that some domain registrants don't want to have to deal with the variation of legal names depending on the top level domain (.com, .biz etc) and so they just decided, minimum three.

See here for some information on what's supposed to be allowed.

Subject: [AccessD] OT:Domains

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
