Valid characters and length for a domain name

The only valid characters for a domain name are letters, numbers and a hyphen (-). Other special characters like the underscore (_) or an exclamation mark (!) are NOT permitted.

 

Example: your name.com (not correct, no spaces allowed)

 

Example: your-name.com (is correct)

 

A domain name can be up to 64 characters long -- including the 4 characters used to identify the Top Level Domain (.net, .com, .org or .edu). Do not type the www. before your domain name when registering.
