That's lame - $20 for this list? What's the likelihood one can actually register one of the 3 letter domains for a typical reg fee and not some huge cost?

Here is one list of short .io names:

and here is another:

are.io bow.io cot.io cry.io dew.io dip.io dye.io ear.io egg.io fee.io fry.io had.io hem.io hid.io hut.io jug.io lid.io lie.io lip.io men.io mop.io mow.io oar.io ore.io pit.io rag.io ray.io rib.io rid.io rot.io sod.io toe.io tow.io tug.io was.io won.io yaw.io

I did not bother to verify availability.

Ha you beat me to it.

Just a note: That list may be out of date. I see my domain (fry.io) on there, and I registered that a good few months ago :p

Not sure why it's lame for it to cost $20, is it because you could build it yourself?

ALL domains available on all TLDs should be listed freely.

Charging for access to information like this is deplorable. Just because you can does not mean you should.
