Yes. Tonga turned their TLD `.to` into a domain shortener, although because of the browser issue you mention it generally had to be accessed via http://to./

However, it hasn't been available for a long time now.

EDIT: As pointed out below, http://ac/ points to a real website

My DNS provider (also on my VPS) can't resolve both domain names.

I can 'dig' the domain names though and at least visit http://ac/ through it's IP-address in the A-record (http://193.223.78.210/).

Apparently they are not supposed to exist any more. I think they are not allowed on the new ones but can't find source now.
