8.org
PIR, the .ORG domain registry, launched Project 94 a few years ago; the allocation of one or two letter/number .ORG domains to benefit communities.
When .ORG first emerged in 1985, certain policies and recommendations required that a registry “set aside” a select number of domain names for future registration.
Among this group of reserved names were a set of 94 1-2 character domain names.
The original 94 .ORG domains are almost all sold.
When one visits Project94.org there is only a handful of domains left:
- J.org
- L.org
- P.org
- D.org
- D.org
- K.org
- O.org
- H.org
- N.org
- S.org
One popular domain investor grabbed a particularly lucky number.
The domain 8.org is in the possession of domain investor, Braden Pollock, and it’s currently being used as a “jumpboard” to a number of charities.
We are not sure how much it cost to acquire this single digit .ORG domain; it’s been in Pollock’s possession since March of this year.
