Today, DNPric.es decided to entertain its audience by asking a tricky question:
What symmetrical domain name(s) have you seen?
“What is a symmetrical domain name???!!!”, you might retort!
Something that goes in symmetrically [horizontally] reversed order of letters at the dot. E.g., “pot.top”, or “tep.pet”, or “ed.de”. Or mirroring, for instance “dd.bb”, “id.bi”, “bid.bid”, “bliud.build”, “Ad.bA”, or “Aib3M.mEdiA”. We can also think of a rotational symmetry too, why not? “op.do” is the same “op.do” if you turn it 180o. Same holds for “nu.nu”, “oun.uno”, “qnd.pub”, “piq.bid”, “zznq.buzz”, and to a point for “uopuo1.London” and “p0.Od”…
Not limited to these, there are hundreds of combinations, especially if one uses similar characters and numbers, 0 (zero) vs O, 4 vs A, … To note some, here goes a jotted list of valid domain names that one can come up with in few minutes:
000.OOO, 02.SO, 03biV.VidEO, 05.SO, 0b.dO, 0ibuA.AudiO, 0ipnV.AudiO, 0nu.unO, 0S.SO, 0WI1.LIMO, 16.gL, 1A9.gAl, 1d.pL, 1i.iL, 1iVW3.EMAiL, 1u.nL, 1uo.onL, 1V6.gAL, 1Vq016.gLObAL, 1VqO16.gLObAL, 1W.ML,
