I thought I'd spend a few lines in irb and implement two.io for you right here in a comment ;-) Here are the available two letter io names from /usr/share/dict/words, /usr/bin commands, and bash builtins: ah.io, ay.io, di.io, ea.io, ey.io, fa.io, fc.io, fe.io, fg.io, ha.io, he.io, ju.io, ka.io, oe.io, or.io, ow.io, pu.io, ra.io, te.io, ti.io, tu.io, ut.io, wa.io, wi.io, wu.io, wy.io, ya.io, ym.io, yn.io, yr.io, du.io…

It's pretty rare a NIC allows two letter domains so it might be a general limitation, but they are possible. Either that, or our domain (ep) is just a very persistent hallucination.

Isn't everything? ;-) Thanks for the heads up. It does seem nic.io will do it but both Moniker and IWantMyName barfed on them.

I'm tempted but I already own "no.gd" (a rather undiscovered TLD if there were one - and they allow 2 letter domains!) and have little enough use for it already..

That was probably the first .io domain registered.

That or... Rad.io Rat.io Portfol.io etc..

There are quite a few TLDs offering 2-letter domains. These are the ones that can be registered without any restrictions:

.AG .CX .GD .GS .GL .HT .LC .MS .MU .PE .TC .TL .VG

Some feature requests: 1) add a realtime search function OR a way to navigate by letter

2) add an input that allows me to choose 3,4,5,6 letter domains.i know that's not the focus of the site, but still. would be cool.

Also, are you getting any kind of referral fee for sending over customers? hope so!

Thanks! This is very useful.

I also heard about .gg and .je (Guernsey and Jersey - British Crown Dependencies off of the French coast) which can be registered directly at http://www.channelisles.net/applic/application.shtml (but they handle them manually so you have to wait a few days).

Still up for grabs, unlike cunniling.us

Hey, if you buy one of these domain names please let me know!

I got ace.io and zidy.io both from iwantmyname.com

My normal registrar doesn't handle .io so it's my first time with the iwantmyname.com registrar. They seem pretty on top of things.

Nice! Yeah, I checked nic.io for ag.io and lost.
