1 letter domain names (www.x.com)
are there any others up and running? paypal must own www.x.com because it redirects to their main page

what does a 1chr domain name go for anyway?

As for value? No idea, not really a market for them,
as no one ever says any. My guess is seven figures.

You are probably too young to remember, but Paypal was originally known as X.com

It's more or less for vanity and memorability.
You buy a name like that, last thing on your mind is type-ins.

As far as I know, 1 letter com/net domains can be renewed however if/when they drop, they cannot be registered again.

No, x.com was a banking site. I had an account there.

They were bought out by paypal and integrated.

Its cool cause they both launched about the same time and gave those $5 signup bonus.

I can't say I fully understand the reasons why ICANN decided to stop distributing one letter domains.

i took a trip down memory lane and google'd X.com + idealab (they helped incubate/fund this and other (in)famous DOTCOMs:

///
April 5, 2000
X.com Announces $100 Million Financing Round
http://www.paypal.com/html/pr-040500.html

blah blah blah

About X.com

X.com Corporation provides an instant and secure email payment service, integrated with consumer and business financial services. With a customer base of over 1 million, X.com is the largest web-based payment network on the Internet, and the number-one method of payment for online auctions. X.com Corporation is headed by Elon Musk, who previously founded Internet media company Zip2 in 1995, which he sold last year for over $300 million to AltaVista, now a division of CMGI. Bill Harris, formerly CEO of Intuit, joined X.com last fall as CEO and President. Last month, X.com merged with PayPal.com, the leading email payment service. PayPal.com CEO Peter Thiel is now Executive Vice President of X.com Corporation.
///


lol. i miss those days. $300M for Zip2. LOL.
glad those days may be coming back soon.

It's not about type-ins. It's about branding. I mean seriously, imagine a porn site at x.com

Put a quality site up there and you can bet your ass nobody is going to forget it.
