There are very few two-letter suffixes like “.SS” in the world, and they are regarded as domain name resources with great collection value because of their uniqueness. In addition to “SS”, the twin-letter domain names circulating in the market also include “.TT”, “.CC”, “.GG”, etc. Each of them is favored by brands and individual users because of its scarcity and symbolic meaning.
Two-letter domain name suffixes are often re-assigned unique meanings in specific fields, for example:
- .GG – a symbol of e-sports and games, representing “Good Game”
- .CC – commonly used in content creation and financial payment fields
- .TT – related to social hot spots (Trending Topics)
- .SS – suitable for industries such as security services
This two-letter suffix is usually called two-letter top-level domain name (Two-letter TLDs), which belongs to country or region top-level domain names (Country Code Top-Level Domains, ccTLDs). Each two-letter suffix is a two-letter code assigned to each country or region according to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which is unique and identifiable.
