Re: Google now treats .io as a gccTLD

260 days ago I posted a webapp I made on HN, listing all of the available remaining .io domains in order of most common words -- with 2, 3, 4, and 5 letter columns. It was completely free, but it got one upvote I think? The site is currently down, but if there's interest I can put it back online.

Alright, I just submitted it to HN (page 2 of the homepage now). All I ask is if you think it's useful, upvote it :)

It's tough to get traction on HN for certain things. Also, if you think about it people don't want other people to know what domain names are available "just in case". There are currently 26 three letter words/common acronyms left. List available here for a small fee http://andio.herokuapp.com

That's lame - $20 for this list? What's the likelihood one can actually register one of the 3 letter domains for a typical reg fee and not some huge cost?

Is there any way to register an io domain without your address and phone number showing up in the whois information?

Try gandi.net. They offer free whois privacy with registration and their prices on .io domains are VERY good. One thing you will have to do is let your credit card company know about the transaction as the charge will come from France and will be flagged as fraudulent (at least that was my experience with AMEX).

Here is one list of short .io names:

Posting the same comment 4 times trying to sell a list is just ridiculous.

One comment was enough.

Processed the Scrabble dictionary for all 3-letter words acceptable in U.S. Club and Tournament Play as of 2009.

Among which 283 are available .io domains:
