List of available 2 letter domain names
- Gracana 12y agoNeat. Which ones are cheapest? I figured I'd buy one but they seem quite expensive.
- irs 12y agoHere is the price list: .AF $125.00 USD .AG $119.00 USD .CX $49.00 USD .FM $99.00 USD .GD $49.00 USD .GL $89.00 USD .GS $49.00 USD .GY $50.00 USD .HT $129.00 USD .IO $99.00 USD .MS $49.00 USD .MU $99.00 USD .PE $99.00 USD .TC $49.00 USD .TL $79.00 USD .VG $49.00 USD https://iwantmyname.com/short-domain-search https://iwantmyname.com/short-domain-search
- zatkin 12y agoSome of these are cheaper over at KalyHost.com.
- psykovsky 12y agouhhh... Mark Kapeles, from MtGox infamy... Thanks, but no, thanks.
- percept 12y agoI don't know about the others, but you definitely don't need to spend $99 for a(n) .io.
- dpark 12y agoSomeone above pointed out that .gg is half the cost ($75 vs $150) at gandi.net. .io is $35 at gandi.net and $32.88 at namecheap.
- dasil003 12y agoAlso which ones are restricted from switching registrars? I once bought a three letter .tv domain for $150 assuming I could transfer to a cheaper registrar and found out I could not.
- Sir_Cmpwn 12y agoJust bought a domain thanks to this tool. Do you get a kick back for referring us to the registrar?
- hanula 12y agoHere's a simple list version: https://gist.github.com/hanula/7959a214fcf55eca1e3e https://gist.github.com/hanula/7959a214fcf55eca1e3e
- Nico2706 12y agoDo you know other tools to find short domain names?
- hultner 12y agoThe search doesn't seem to work for me. I recieve a message reading "xx.yy couldn't be checked." on everything.
- joejoebob 12y agoWhere do you get this kind of information? Is it publicly available?
- keehun 12y agoYou can query domain registrars. It is public knowledge.
- keehun 12y agoSomeone should grab th.gy. Probably the most sensible domain name on the list. Od.is, too, if you have a specific name for "Odis"

- colinbartlett 12y agoThank you! I just found and purchased a perfect domain for an idea I've had for a while. For some reason, most of my projects start with a domain. I can't write code until I have a git repo. Can't make a repo until I have a directory. And I can't make the directory until I have a name. Which, of course, requires a domain name first...
- RandomBK 12y agoI tend to use a temporary codename for my projects, and design the system with a future name change in mind. I find it helps let me focus on the actual functionality, and stops me from getting stuck on designing a brand name/logo for a product that doesn't even exist. Another plus is that the design and parameters of my projects often change during development, so not having a predetermined name gives me the flexibility to make those changes without worrying about 'fitting' with the name.
- harel 12y agoI totally understand you. Names are important to me and it helps me a lot when I have a perfect name to go with what I'm doing. I can't explain or rationalise it. It's just the way it is...
- rplnt 12y agoCompany I use to buy domains automatically rejects two letter domain requests for some reason. Like the search will say invalid domain. I guess some junior thought that such domains don't exist. The thing is, I bought a two letter domain from them some time back :)
- eterm 12y agoWhich one of you lot just bought nu.gg?
- swah 12y agoWho snatched je.gg???
- yellow 12y agoHaha. I also attempted this one and failed.
- jeswin 12y agoA bit off-topic, but I'd like to know what HN thinks about a short domain I've chosen for an upcoming product. I'm building a platform which lets people create and host simple apps. It's kind of a collaborative app development thing, so you build on what's already there and let others use what you've made. The project is called "Fora", and I bought the domain www.4ah.org. I like the brevity, but does it look like a silly hack? Thanks in advance. ADD: Thanks slayed0, ptaipale, urda, rl3 and staticfish. I think I should look for a new domain name. @mtmail thanks for thisisfora.com.
- staticfish 12y agoJust my opinion: I think it reads awkwardly.
- ptaipale 12y agoI don't think it's bad, but there's just a hint of being too close to http://4-h.org http://4-h.org .
- mtmail 12y agowww.thisisfora.com might be more straight forward than using a cryptic .org domain.
- TomorrowRich 12y agoAgree 100%. Yeah my comment was brief and pointless, but really, the above suggested .com is so obviously better.
- slayed0 12y agoIt's hard to identify the product name in the url which leads to a lack of trust. Just my opinion.
- urda 12y agoYeah I didn't see it right away at all.
- rl3 12y ago
- pearjuice 12y agoSomeone just spared a lot of work for professional domain squatters.
- xabi 12y agoI own a two letter domain (xa.bi), but just for personal use. I also owned ga.am a few years ago. (Super fast typing in an old mobile keyboards)
- listic 12y agoWhy just .ag .cx .gg .gl .gs .gy .ht .is .je .lc .ms .pe? Do all of the other two-letter TLDs have all two-letter domains picked?
- pavlov 12y agoMany of them don't allow two-letter domain names at all.
- legulere 12y agosome tlds don't allow two letter domain names. .de used to forbid two letter domains. (After a court order because of vw.de those restrictions were lifted, and now there even exist one letter domains, though most of them are just squatted, for instance g.de which just redirects to p.de)
- petercooper 12y agoFor anyone who finds it useful to know, .gd allows two letter domains, I have one, plus there was the is.gd URL shortener.
- snissn 12y agoHere's a list of available 2 letter .rs domains: https://gist.github.com/mike-seiler/c20be8fb641bc280fff0 https://gist.github.com/mike-seiler/c20be8fb641bc280fff0 I kind of like ym.rs and wk.rs
- lastofus 12y agoI feel like py.gl needs to be a cool Python project/library, or at the very least, picked up by the pyopengl folks.
- justinzollars 12y agoProud that I was able to snatch my initials a few years ago: jz.io
- known 12y ago.com four letter domain names http://www.domainnamesoup.com/4letterdomainnames.php http://www.domainnamesoup.com/4letterdomainnames.php
- bboyan 12y ago.gg goes for $75 on Gandi, compared to $150 on iwantmyname
- dpark 12y agoThe price variation on this domain is absurd. I looked for another host that carried .gg, but it was actually $250 there. Still, $75 is a lot for another vanity domain I don't need and probably won't use.
- maaku 12y agoAaaand.. they're gone.
- petercooper 12y agoIt's pretty amazing how quick they are going. Every single one showing as available that I've checked so far has gone. It's like people didn't know you could do this before.
- bonn1 12y agoThis list looks very tempting and who is not dreaming of a 2-letter-domain? But there are two gripes and I think there is no domain on that list which you should get. Why: - Most TLDs on this list are way to expensive—everything above €50 for a side-project or some domain parking is too much, it's only worth if it's a killer domain; so what I want to say: if you give me a nonsense two-letter domain for a normal .com price like 7€/year, yes I would take all from the list, but for €50 or even above €100 I want something really nice - Even if you find your initials (I found mine), with the prices it's nonsense: you will keep a domain with your initials quite some time and maybe you get locked in because you want to use it for you mail-address and then pay 50-100€ for an odd TLD nobody knows - The only ones which have reasonable prices are .gs, .lc and .gy with €39 and .io with around €50 which is for my taste still too much (again: for a nonsense two letter domain); however I did a search in the Unix' words file if there is even under the cheap TLDs any good and meaningful ones which would justify €39a month Ending on .lc talc Ending on .gs dags digs dogs togs Ending on .gy Algy bogy dogy edgy eggy fogy logy orgy pogy sagy Ending on .io agio apio Clio meio moio naio Ohio olio thio Trio trio Unio unio Surprise: none of the ones above is available Maybe there are some good words in your local language (I found one) but again the prices are ridiculous and make only sense if you know that the project you will use the domain for will get serious business in some way.
- 300bps 12y agoI think anything.com is much more memorable for 95%+ of the population.
- bonn1 12y agoI agree. A short domain with an unknown or hard to type TLD is not really wanted. And the only TLD on that page which is 1) well known, 2) very well to type and 3) treated as a generic TLD from Google (important for SEO) is .io
- totony 12y agoI am curious about #3, do you have an article elaborating on this?
- njharman 12y agohttp://ju.gs http://ju.gs
- Kafoury 12y agoThe OP url links to catechgory.com which in turn has a link to Digital Ocean. Regarding Digital Ocean here is a FYI for your consideration: https://practiscore.com/site-back-up/ https://practiscore.com/site-back-up/
- jsprogrammer 12y agoYour link contains no real information, just a generic slam on DO.

- joelennon 12y agoThanks for this. I picked up wy.is for €29. Real impulse buy. Was thinking it could work for a "why is...<enter question here>?" type site. Probably silly but I have no self control when it comes to buying domains I'll never use.
- mdpm 12y agoFor anyone else looking for vanity domains : often used https://domainr.com/ https://domainr.com/ to check for availability. gandi still usually cheaper for the reg.
