About “Two Letter” Domains

Domains have many secrets

Many are worthless, many are worth a little, some are worth a lot and few are worth millions and millions of Dollars.

The biggest domain transactions, like the one for LV.com, where Liverpool Victoria bet Louis Vuitton, or the one for BA.com, where British Airways bet Bank of America, remain confidential.

According to Bill Gates, there is no other Real Estate that goes up in value as fast.

One Letter Domains

Dr Jon Postel

December 2, 1993, at a time when the web was being formed, Internet Co-Inventor Dr Jon Postel registered all 23 still available single letter Domains and assigned them to the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (iana.org).

3 domains were already registered. From the very early days of the internet, before the web, they remain in the hands of their historic owners.

Only .com Domains enjoy International Prestige and World Wide Recognition…
a Brand without .com is not a Brand.

Even though Two Letter Domains exist with other extensions like .net or .org, they have no significant branding value. It is not without reasons that LG Group, one of the World’s largest Consumer Electronic Firms and owner of LG.net, spent a very important amount in February 2009 to buy the missing LG.com.
