A major retail company in the Philippines that was erroneously allowed to register a two-letter .ph domain in 1999, will have to let it drop!
Despite spending thousands of dollars on branding and other intellectual property registrations, the company was given a short notice that the domain will be deleted, regardless!
The DotPH Registry offered to replace the two-letter domain with other available domains for which no renewal fees need be paid for the next 20 years, plus a refund of the $70 it cost to register the domain initially.

I used to dream of owning a .ph domain but in the final thought I chose .com. Thousands of websites in the Philippines will be in trouble with this latest development in the domain world.
Pretty ironic that the registry won’t allow domains with less than three characters when they themselves run a site at i.ph…
man, that sucks, can they do that?
ThePhilippines.net says NO (in capital letters)!
haha
so they basically just get another .ph domain for free for just 20yrs + refund? 😐
