LF: Single character domain (any 2 letter TLD)

[Hook]

Hi all,

I am looking for single character domains to use for tracking/jump links on a project I have, it should be X.XX (similar to t.me effectively.)

If anyone has anything, let me know.

Thanks

With 1-L you'd be in a $xxx,xxx range. Are you certain this is something you want/need?
Three letter .uk's are short enough, I've stocked up on those exactly for such purposes:

jmp.uk
lnk.uk

but may sell one to the right buyer ;)

I have realised this, I sent offers out on sedo where the desired price was 500eur and got counted at 125K I have a few LL and LLL .uk but was trying to find a L with any TLD just for this project, but I'm not willing to spend too much on an aesthetic purchase - jmp.uk and lnk.uk are great though for this - if a buyer came along, what would you sell those for?

He used to advertise these on Acorn with the username mspecialists, but he doesn't seem to have posted there since December 2022.

depends on the buyer, of course .. hehe ;)
but jokes aside, I don't need the two to develop and hence can take 6k for any one of them.

If going with a 1char GTLD remember they have ever escalating and unjustifiable 'premium' fees.

It's not uncommon for one of these domains marked as 'registry-premium' to increase 40+ times the cost at renewal !

I thought they weren't able to increase the price at renewal, just on re-registration? Seems from a quick search that a lot of people are shocked when they receive their second year renewal notice because they didn't pay attention when originally registering that they were getting a heavy discount on the first year. IE they didn't look at the renewal price at the point of registration.

Online people cite this bit of the ICANN registry agreement:

https://itp.cdn.icann.org/en/files/registry-agreements/base-registry-agreement-21-01-2024-en.html#:~:text=(c)%C2%A0%C2%A0%C2%A0%C2%A0%C2%A0%C2%A0%C2%A0%C2%A0%C2%A0%C2%A0%C2%A0%20In,to%20Section%202.10(b).

2.10 Pricing for Registry Services.

(c) In addition, Registry Operator must have uniform pricing for renewals of domain name registrations (“Renewal Pricing”). For the purposes of determining Renewal Pricing, the price for each domain registration renewal must be identical to the price of all other domain name registration renewals in place at the time of such renewal, and such price must take into account universal application of any refunds, rebates, discounts, product tying or other programs in place at the time of renewal. The foregoing requirements of this Section 2.10(c) shall not apply for (i) purposes of determining Renewal Pricing if the registrar has provided Registry Operator with documentation that demonstrates that the applicable registrant expressly agreed in its registration agreement with registrar to higher Renewal Pricing at the time of the initial registration of the domain name following clear and conspicuous disclosure of such Renewal Pricing to such registrant, and (ii) discounted Renewal Pricing pursuant to a Qualified Marketing Program (as defined below). The parties acknowledge that the purpose of this Section 2.10(c) is to prohibit abusive and/or discriminatory Renewal Pricing practices imposed by Registry Operator without the written consent of the applicable registrant at the time of the initial registration of the domain and this Section 2.10(c) will be interpreted broadly to prohibit such practices. For purposes of this Section 2.10(c), a “Qualified Marketing Program” is a marketing program pursuant to which Registry Operator offers discounted Renewal Pricing, provided that each of the following criteria is satisfied: (i) the program and related discounts are offered for a period of time not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) calendar days (with consecutive substantially similar programs aggregated for purposes of determining the number of calendar days of the program), (ii) all ICANN accredited registrars are provided the same opportunity to qualify for such discounted Renewal Pricing; and (iii) the intent or effect of the program is not to exclude any particular class(es) of registrations (e.g., registrations held by large corporations) or increase the renewal price of any particular class(es) of registrations. Nothing in this Section 2.10(c) shall limit Registry Operator’s obligations pursuant to Section 2.10(b).
