2Letter.TLD can't be registered anymore?

[drmaximus]

Or do they have to go through more extensive registration procedures? Thanks

they are all taken in com and net, and can't be registered in org (they can only be renewed, but if allowed to expire then they are gone for good). Some other tld's, specially cctld's allow them.

Yup, armstrong is absolutely correct. ^^

I agree with jj2ii3344. :tu:

No longer available in .org, though there are deals to be had buying them from existing owners.

2 character domains are still available in many of the less popular ccTLDs. They were never made available in .us, .info or .biz

By definition TLD is not just .com, .net, .org, .biz, .info.
TLDs are also .name, .coop, .ws, .hr, .ee, .uk, .fr ...

There are about 200 TLDs in the world (gTLDs+ccTLDs+iTLD)...

*GENERIC TOP LEVEL DOMAINS -GTLDs (.com, .net, .org, .biz, .info, .name, .museum, .coop, .pro, .aero, .int, .mil, .gov, .edu)
*COUNTRY-CODE TOP LEVEL DOMAINS -CCTLDs (.ws, .hr, .ee, .uk, .fr, .it, .de ...)
*INFRASTRUCTURAL TOP LEVEL DOMAIN -ITLD (1 and only .arpa)

Therefore: unable to answer to your question (too many possibilities).

PS:
Assuming that you were thinking about 2letter .com / .net,
- yes, they can be registered (like moreletters .com)

Assuming that you were thinking about 2letter .org / .biz / .info,
- no, they cannot be registered (prohibited by their registries)

If you are interested in any particular TLD, my advice is: find and visit www.nic.TLD or www.dns.TLD or something like that, and check it yourself.
