    I have the above domain hack. If you don't know what it is, have a look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_hack

    The Bahamas, officially the Commonwealth of The Bahamas, is an independent, sovereign, English-speaking country consisting of two thousand cays and seven hundred islands that form an archipelago. Its size is almost 14,000 km² with an estimated population of 330,000.

    Appraisals & comments appreciated.

    Name hacks are kind of cool but I don't think they have much resale value.

    I think this domain is cool, but the "the" in the domain kind of reduces the value a bit.

    I tried to register both variations (Baham.as & TheBaham.as) which was free when I checked the Whois but another well know domain hack investor beat me to it :( as the applications aren't processed in real-time for the .as extentions, only manually.

    It is possible to reg 2 character names if the ccTLD allows you to. I have owned Ga.gs & Wi.gs for a while now also

    .tc
    .ms
    .gd
    .st

    and many more.
