3-letter unregistered .ca domians

Discussion in 'Domain Names' started by cms, Mar 22, 2006.

    I've been looking for a nice 3 letter .ca domain. From doing some random searches, it seems like most of them are taken, but there are still some slightly more obscure ones unregistered. Is there any current lists online of unregistered 3 letter .ca domains?

    I've done a bit of searching and couldn't find any recent lists.

    Done a quick "probe" and I'd estimate there's 500 ~ 2500 available 3 letter .ca domain names (of 17576).

    If you'd really like to have a list to browse/filter I could generate one for an affordable price, PM me if you'd like to know more. :)

    Might be of interest to someone so here's some stats.

    Break down of 3 letter (a-z) .ca domain names by consonant/vowel combinations

    
    [B]combo	free	total	unused %[/B]
    ccc	3505	9261	37.85%
    ccv	624	2205	28.30%
    cvc	460	2205	20.86%
    cvv	71	525	13.52%
    vcc	670	2205	30.39%
    vcv	66	525	12.57%
    vvc	141	525	26.86%
    vvv	7	125	5.60%
    ------------------------------
    all	5544	17576	31.54%

    I'd like to see the list. Why not share it and get paid in good feelings and karma? :D (or how much $?)

    Hmmm, good feelings and karma are nice but that stuff doesn't pay the bills right now. (correct me if I'm wrong there)

    I really don't know how much it's worth, but there's still a few decent domains in there that could be worth a bit once they're all gone in a few years.

    Would I be correct in assuming that the domains with a vowel in them are likely to be worth more?

    I have been playing with 4 letter .coms, which I expect is a similar situation.

    Everything left has at least one H,J,K,Q,U,V,W,X,Y,Z .
    Note the vowel "U".

    Here is the strange part: Everything I have seen for sale at a low XX price has those letters in it too.

    I personally try to avoid "O" because of the confusion with "0", but I am not sure I am right there.

    They are drying up - maybe -25% change in availability in the last 8 months.

    By far "Q" is the worst letter.

    I don't want to have to pay for a list unless completely necessary. Isn't there a program that I can use to check it myself?

    Not that I know of, I wrote mine after your post sparked my curiosity.

    If anyone's still interested, I've got a script running right now that's finding the currently available 3-letter .ca domains.. should be done in about 10h or so.

    Just an FYI, I've been tracking 3 letter domains in .us , .info , .ru , .ca , .cc , .de , .etc etc etc etc for a couple years now.
    Attached are a year over year recent view of .ca , but if anyone needs one in particular, I'm always free (In cost, not necessarily available ;) )

    errr... wtf's up with a 20k limit on text files?
