China owns many LL .com domains but the majority are in American hands.
American domain investors, entrepreneurs and companies own – for now – the majority of so-called “Chinese premium”, two letter (LL) .com domain names.
That’s the result of data analysis performed by expert Canadian domain investor, George Kirikos.
Chinese premium letters form a subset of the Latin alphabet, which excludes the letters A, E, I, O, U and V.
According to Kirikos, out of all possible two letter .com permutations, the current ownership breakdown is as follows:
- Chinese registrants own 130 LL .com domains, or 19.2%
- Americans own 379 LL .com domains, or 56.1%
- Americans own 209 “Chinese premium” LL .com domains, or 52.2%
- Chinese registrants own 102 “Chinese premium” LL .com domains, or 25.5%
- British own 21 “Chinese premium” LL .com domains
- Canadians own 15 “Chinese premium” LL .com domain names
George Kirikos also revealed that the domain ZT.com appears to be another unreported LL .com to have been sold.
