I had never heard of this before.........

www.£.com

does actually resolve to poundsymbol.com

 

[mally]

I'd never even new this one existed!

www.£.com

www.£.com

does actually resolve to poundsymbol.com

It is an IDN name that actually goes to xn--9a.com, which then redirects to poundsymbol.com

Definately not worth £1m!

so I assume this line in the article is BS

" is one of only two domain names in the world with a single symbol "

there will be more than two surely!

Yup.

www.€.com
www.£.com
www.¢.com
www.¥.com
www.ƒ.com

They all are live domains (althogh €.com doesn't resolve)

Certainly unique, rare and valuable. Words we hear every day....

I've heard of them.

I'm sure some one on here was selling £stretcher. Not sure if it was but was up for sale somewhere.

Bad time to sell with the £ plummeting!?
