[AccessD] OT:Domains

Thanks Lambert,
There are however, many around.  My point (question) is why don't the
"providers" of domain registration allow them.  They are permitted by ICANN
as per your quoted  site.

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.

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
