I have registered that domain after it was dropped about 1 month ago. Some Austrian Guy owned this domain for a couple years (from June 2001) and then he dropped it, I have found quite a bit of referrence (mostly in german) that this domain was active at some point and many called it the shortest domain in the world even the guiness book was mentioned in one article I read, lol maybe not the shortest domain in the world but a weird one for sure, and I am aware of one more domain of this type which is registerred in kazachstan since a long time: -.kz...
------------
Now, the problem part:
1. the domains nameserver are not resolving
I have my NS pointing to Noomle and got it in my control panel too but the site is not resolving, it works fine for another .kg domain I own so my guess is that a hyphen only domain can not be recognized but according to my research it must have worked at some point in the past.
Also I have contacted my registrar regarding this and they told me it will not work in most countries but in some (??) http://www.-.kg - Can you see something from your location?
2. hyphen only domains are not allowed
This is taken from the Regulations for Registration of a .KG Domain Name :
But my .kg registrar in Kirgistan has told me that they allow me to keep the domain but if my attemps to develop fail, I have the option to ask for a refund, totally my choice...
-------------
Do you see any solution for my first problem? And if the problem can be solved somehow (obviously a domain that can not be developed is sort of worthless - maybe a collectors item at best) and I sell the domain in the future do you think the new owner is at a big risk of loosing that domain someday?
Thanks for reading this and any input!
