meanings of domain name abbreviations

Instead of using a combination of words a domain name, a name can be an abbreviation. For example, if you have many words that would constitute the meaning of the web site, you can extract the first letter of each word, join them, and make up a domain name. Examples are AA (for American Airlines) or HSBC.
