Google has managed to purchase the world’s shortest domain name. For an undisclosed figure, it acquired g.cn, which now redirects to the Chinese version of Google search engine site.
Such short domain names are not possible to register as new, as ICANN locked them out a couple of years after registration began. A few companies managed to purchase single-letter domains before the ban was put in place: q.com is owned by Qwest, and z.com by Nissan. Unfortunately for Google, g.com is reserved by ICANN for internal use.
