hi dude, the first 3 aren't valid domains, unless they're idns?
can you explain? thanks
They are IDNs, I remember a .cc selling last year to a credit card company I think, it might have been €.cc.

Hi, they're IDN's:
save£s.com (xn--saves-ega.com)
£s.net (xn--s-9ba.net)
£stretcher.com (xn--stretcher-9ja.com)
They should work in your browser, unless you have an old one.
Technically I don't think I should have been able to register these domains and I'm not sure if you would still be able to. They are homographs and Verisign say mixing of code points is not allowed. This was the response I got from Verisign when I tried to get some with the Euro symbol in them:
"The code point mixing rule was implemented in April [2006] when we released CORE 6.3. The domains in the examples were registered prior to that, where they would have been allowed. Domains after we released CORE 6.3, should not have been allowed."

So when they drop, they cannot be re-registered. Interesting.

code to keep £s.net in address bar
Just thought i'd post this code which would or might be ideal to keep the domain showing as £s.net for example instead of changing to http://xn--s-9ba.net.
I use it for diverting domains to another URL but keeping the original address in the address bar, (white label companies) might work for you too which will look better let me know how you get on.

I'm no programmer or coder I just know it works for me might come in useful for someone
