.ORG Domain Syntax Rules Generic FAQ - I have been trying to register a one-character or two-letter .ORG domain name, but I can't. Why not?
- Certain domain names are to be reserved per ICANN's directive. The domain names listed there, including all one-character and two-character domains, are reserved "from initial (i.e., other than renewal) registration within the TLD." In other words, should any of those previously registered domain names be allowed to expire, or if they are deleted, they will be placed on reserved status and will NOT be made available to the public for registration again.
- What characters can a .ORG domain name have? How long can .ORG domain names be? Are there other restrictions on domain names?
- Domain Names under the .ORG generic Top-Level Domain (gTLD), like most other top-level domains, are expected to abide by the following rules:
* they must be between 3 and 63 Characters, when .ORG is included
* domain names must contain only the characters A to Z, the numbers 0 to 9, and the dash " - ", and underscore "_" symbols which cannot be placed at the beginning or the end.
