: Domain with only one or two characters I came across some sites that have only 2 or even 1 charachter for the domain name like hp.com, u.bb and 9.bb How come? as we know that when registering

It is theoretically possible but usually all that domains are taken. Special resellers like 1-single-letter-domains.com offer such domains to buy, but the prices are much higher than usual domains. But if you want only a 2-letter domain you can get it much cheaper than 1-letter. 1=$$$$ price, 2=60+ USD. You need to order a search for it

It depends on what the tld requires. For example, even though for .me domains you need 3 letters, many companies are granted an exception for example fb.me, wp.me. They are probably paying for this privilege :-)
