    z.com and q.com ????

    I noticed there is only a z.com and q.com every other letter of the alphabet cant be registered. Im not sure if this is true but I heard from someone that networksolutions illegally sells these domains for millions of dollars. Whats up with that? Whats going on here?

                  Im not sure how they get away with this but one of you should do a little research and see whats going on. 6 months ago I browsed a-z dot com The only domains that were registered were z.com and q.com not x.com When I called network solutions to ask why this is, they said, "you were once able to register a-z domains and z.com and q.com were the first and only two to register before the new policy started which made a-z domains unavaliable to register. If this is so, were did x.com come from? Something is going on.

                              They got them before the restrictions took place. The other letter domain is:

                              http://i.net

                              The two letter ones I cant remember if they all get placed on reserve or only the ones that match foreign TLDs. Regardless that was the reason behind reserved two letter ones. They
                              are two similar to foreign TLDs.

                              domain.com.sa

                              Is how Saudi arabia uses TLD for example.

                              domain.sa.com

                              might confuse people..

                              Regardless if you already owned it you can grandfather it forever


                              There was another single character dot com that somebody allowed to expire making it reserved where nobody can obtain it. Or maybe I imagined that

                                Now that I think about it.. the single letter ones have nothing to do with foreign TLDs.

                                I wonder if McDonalds can lay down 8-9 figures and aquire "m.com" if they really wanted it.

                                Prehaps they are saving the single letter ones for that purpose alone. The $$$$$$$$$ purpose

                                      After Bradly registered q.net there was a big debate over
                                      whether single letter domains would break the BIND version
                                      of the day. Jon Postel via IANA reserved all remaining single
                                      letter domains to avoid any breakage. Unfortunately Jon passed
                                      away some 5-6 years ago and NSI just never expired all the
                                      holds even though BIND today would have no problem with
                                      single letter domains.

                                          NSI has been caught in a couple pretty good scams.

                                                  well Nissan could sell z.com technology..

                                                  The question is can money buy a reserved single character domain

                                                  I think they are keeping them for aution in the year 2020

                                                    They've had it for years, you talked to an idiot.

                                                      yeah x.com was bought out by paypal

                                                      it use to be a website long ago


                                                      But still I wonder if it is possible to acquire a single charater domian? Not that I can afford it. But surely a company like microsoft or mcdonalds can lay down serious $$ for a domain like "M.COM"

                                                      There is no law that dictates the restrictions. Or is there? The two character ones where placed on reserve due to the foreign TLDs. But there is no country that reserves a single letter TLD

                                                            A couple years ago I had a system constructed that tested the availbility status for every 3 letter combo and every word in the english dictionary

                                                            Got a few nice ones but it was slim pickings
