Why are there still so many two letter domain names available? Well, technically domain names that are four letters in total (two letter TLD and two letter SLD). But still, why are there so many?<p>- There is only a very short supply of them, and relatively speaking (26<i>26</i>x, where x = number of TLDs), the total number is easily within the lower ten thousands.
- They're super easy to remember, and quick to type for customers/visitors.
- As someone who's worked in I.T., if given the choice for an "internal" domain, I'd choose (and have chosen) a two-letter domain all day long. It's way less typing and makes configuration of devices much easier... so why haven't others thought the same way...
- Since there are so few, and they are special by nature, why aren't "domain sharks" scooping them all up and trying to resell them for a profit?
- Most of them cost the exact same amount as a standard domain name<p>So yeah, I'm just curious as to why they're apparently not nearly as appealing as longer domain names. I understand that it's hard to put a business/organization name into 4 letters, but still, I'd think that there are at least a few thousand geeks out there like myself who'd want to have one or two.
“I'd think that there are at least a few thousand geeks out there like myself who'd want to have one or two.”<p>So, do you have one or two? If not, why not?<p>Looking at <a href="https://catechgory.com/" rel="nofollow">https://catechgory.com/</a>, my guess would be because they’re in obscure top level domains.<p>What good does it do to own, for example, “ae.je”, if many users will go to “ae.com” when they try to visit your web site?
