Remaining .io domain names of common words

As some of you requested, here's the app listing .io domain names I made about 8 months ago. I notice there's a lot less words available this time -- although I did only check the top 30,000 most frequent words instead of 50,000 so as to not tax nic.io.

EDIT: Wow, that two-letter domain went fast! Note that if a domain is unavailable, it's because someone just bought it :)

Great job, the site looks really nice. Way to get it back up as quickly as you did. If you don't mind me asking why did you take it down in the first place?

Thanks! Traffic hit a spike the first time I posted it, and then it died to zero the next week. I thought I'd save myself $3.00 a month without hosting. I'm cheap :) Maybe I'll keep it up this time?

Yeah, that's always the rub isn't it. I have had very similar experiences with various projects that get a quick round of visitors early on then they dwindle to literally 0! Maybe you could stick some google ads on it to try to make up that $3/month :)

I would host it for free just to keep it on the internet - would you be interested in moving the project to one of my servers? You would still have full control over the site if you ever wished to monetize it somehow.

Damn, whoever bought heh.io please make it a link shortener!

Brilliant, snapped up the last 2 letter (yl.io) as soon as you posted this, I saw your comment in the other thread and looked through your submissions.

There's no guarantee it was the last two letter. However, it was the last "common" two letter domain.

Correct. Inspired by this I just made a tool that finds ALL remaining two letter .io domains.

Check it out: http://framespersushi.com/lab/two-letter-io/

There are more that have been posted in the other thread, I nabbed the last on this list though.

I just purchased yd.io.

I searched every 2 letter io domain.

Only qf.io and qg.io are left.

I've been trying to work backwards from domains to projects, best I've got here is ra.yd.io

I got qf.io (and your.io) and someone else qg.io.

No more 2 letter .io around!

Beautiful name. I hope you make awesome stuff out of it. Don't sit on it!

Any awesome plans for it?

Not really. Must come up with something!

I always wanted "eie.io" for a site for childrens nursery rhymes :-)

Another suggestion:

A list of actual words that end in "io" that are still available (based on this list, for instance: http://www.morewords.com/ends-with/io/)

I really hope that someone is going to do something fun with http://fellat.io/, instead of just squatting on it forever.

Indeed. That would be hell on one's quads.

I have Forex.io :)

This just made it a lot easier to build a site on the domain

What would you guys do with this domain? Anyone got any good ideas

Sounds awfully close to Forex online trading. Might be good idea to do a stock news blog?

Based on the results Forex might want to purchase it or just not like you very much.

Forex is a generic term for trading foreign currency.

So I will be building a site on it just looking into what to build. There is lots of forex.domain sites
