 | View Full Version : how long can a domain be zc_dare2002 01-05-2002, 10:52 AM Hi What is the maxium length a domain name can be ? .co.uk .org.uk .com .net .org and also what is the shortest a domain name can be ? .co.uk .org.uk .com .net .org Thanks Gary thewitt 01-05-2002, 11:15 AM Perhaps this list of rules will help: Domains must be no more than 67 characters, including the "dot" and gTLD (Generic Top-Level Domain). Domains must not begin or end with a hyphen (-). Valid characters include numbers (0-9), letters (a-z) and the hyphen (-). No other characters are allowed (See RFC 1035 (ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc1035.txt)) -t dgessler 01-05-2002, 12:43 PM Something esle i found interesting was the info & biz domains have to be at least 3 characters long, unlike the com/net/org doamins, I wonder why they did that. |
