November 5, 2007 at 23:52Google bought the shortest domain in the world
To make it easier for Chinese users to access their popular service, the search giant Google bought the world's shortest domain name, G.cn.
Most domain names with one letter and one number are reserved by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority. Therefore, the shortest name, which could subsequently become more popular acquired, could be the domain g.com. But, unfortunately Google, this name is also assigned to the aforementioned organization.
However, there are a number of cases that can serve as a clear example of an exception to the rule: Z.com is owned by Nissan, Q.com was bought by Qwest, and X.com is at the disposal of PayPal.
According to The Inquirer, several years ago there were offers to sell names with one letter at auction, but over time this idea went "nowhere."
