There are some two-letter domain names available for register but when you go to most of the registrars and enter the name - It said "Invalid Domain Name"???????????
Any idea?
Thanks,
John

2-char .infos don't even exist, same with .biz .us etc
2-char .org's can't be re-registered, and don't even look at .com and .net
Don't get into the game and start looking for 2-letters as it won't happen soon.

In the .com, .net, and .org top-level domains (TLDs), various domain names are reserved. These names are reserved from initial registration, but to the extent they are already registered the existing registrant may renew them. The reserved labels are in three groups, as described below:
A. Labels Reserved at All Levels. Within .com, .net, and .org, the following labels are reserved at the second level:
ICANN-related names:
aso
dnso
icann
internic
pso
IANA-related names:
afrinic
apnic
arin
example
gtld-servers
iab
iana
iana-servers
iesg
ietf
irtf
istf
lacnic
latnic
rfc-editor
ripe
root-servers
Other names:
All single-character labels
All two-character labels
arpa
biz
com
coop
edu
gov
info
int
mil
museum
name
net
org
pro
The reservation of the above names is implemented by showing the names in the above group that are not registered to an existing registrant as sponsored under the registrar name "Reserved-Internet Assigned Numbers Authority".
B. Tagged Domain Names. All labels with hyphens in the third and fourth character positions (e.g., "bq--1k2n4h4b"). Initial registrations of tagged domain names beginning with "bq--" are made to support Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs).
C. Second-Level Reservations for Registry Operations. The following second-level names for use in connection with the operation of the registry:
nic
