Show HN: All available three letter .io domains
- blainsmith 12y agoNice list. Though it would make it easier to scan if the domains were floated left and not in columns like a newspaper.

- robert_tweed 12y agoHeh, I already thought of this and wrote a little Go script to locate them all last May when I was choosing my new company name. I now have a 5-letter company name and a corresponding 3-letter .io domain name. I had initially considered various strategies for mining longer names, using an algorithm to find English words and word-likes strings, but in the end there were so many .io domains that I couldn't not do this. The list was still sufficiently short that it only took a few hours to go through it manually and shortlist about half a dozen potential names, from which I chose what I considered to be the best one. I'll save you all some effort and confirm that there are no real words left, unless someone has allowed one to lapse in the last year or so (which seems unlikely). You might find the occasional acronym though. For example, as someone who mostly learned to code in MSX Basic, I was quite pleased to find msx.io wasn't taken. I plan to do something with it when I have some spare time (it's just a holding page for now).
- ioedward 12y agoNo real words? I just ran my script through a list of the most common english words, and it returned 4k .IO domains. I'll post them if anyone's interested.
- 1986v 12y agoPlease do.
- robert_tweed 12y ago5-letter words ending in "...io", or 3-letter words? There are probably lots of longer words available, but that's not what I meant.
- ioedward 12y agoOkay, I misunderstood you then. I haven't found any words ending with "io" that are still available.
- tejasm 12y agoyes - please do.
- touristtam 12y agoMind sharing that go script? I am curious about the implementation you used. :)
