I am currently building a website which will contain information on all 2 letter TLD domains .com .net .org which will show the status of the LL domains available to purchase, auction links, deleted 2 letter tld domains, and tld domain names currently used as websites, and 2 LL domains held back by the registry after expiry and because of the cc (country code) domain market. Prices, auction results, avarage asking and sales will all be listed for information purposes. This information will be free of charge to buyers and sellers for the foreseable future. The website is http://www.LLdomains.com and i trust buyers, sellers and anyone just looking for information at a central location will find the website informative and useful. I feel sure that LLdomains will generate interest in this premium domain market for investors.

I have put a request in the forums asking if anyone knows how many LL.orgs have been held back by the registry. I will post an update when i know.

Do you like my domain LLdomains.com

I guess the questions is what does the following statement mean.

“In other words, should any of those previously registered domain names be allowed to expire, or if they are deleted, they will be placed on reserved status and will NOT be made available to the public for registration again.”

The question is do they mean expire from the Redemption Period or the pending delete phase or from the renewal date of the domain?

Two-letter domain names are also restricted to prevent confusion with country-codes. However, this restriction was enacted long after domain names became popular, so there are many existing registrations in the old top-level domains, though they are prevented in most of the new ones such as .info. Several notable examples are un.org, ba.com, dj.com, st.com, pp.es and sf.net. This confusion of two-letter domains with country codes and TLDs has been successfully exploited by Internode, an Australian ISP who registered on.net and use it like a private TLD to create unlimited subdomains at no cost, advantageous to their hosting services.

In some new TLDs, special exceptions were made to permit two-letter domains for particular purposes; for instance, in the .aero domain the domains are reserved for airlines identified by their two-letter codes, such as aa.aero for American Airlines.

Q. I have been trying to register a one-character or two-letter .ORG domain name, but I can’t. Why not?

A. Certain domain names are to be reserved per ICANN’s directive. The domain names listed there, including all one-character and two-character domains, are reserved “from initial (i.e., other than renewal) registration within the TLD.” In other words, should any of those previously registered domain names be allowed to expire, or if they are deleted, they will be placed on reserved status and will NOT be made available to the public for registration again.

Kind regards

So I think “the number registered [2 letter .org] decreases yearly” is a bit of a stretch.

Unless there is some thing I am missing here.

I know a lot of SEMs use longer .ORGs to get their key phrase in the domain and there it doesn’t matter as they are going for SERPs verses branding. But when you get to a 2-Character or 3-Character domain you are going for branding and in your case you almost need to find a non-profit type of an organization.

Of course the pricing difference between .COM and .ORG 2-Character domains clearly reflects this.

I am considering rebanding this MoreChristLike.Com blog to a LL.ORG and hiring a couple of bloggers. It has been up for almost a year now and last month I hit an average of 400 visits a day so I think it has potential if I could add say 5000 long tail articles and run the traffic into affiliates.

Compared to other 2 letter .org domain sales this must be one of the best bargains available in the 2 letter domain marketplace.

Mr.org won’t sit around long at only $15k
