only dashes are allowed , dots usually separate subdomains from domains
for example
demo.example.com
you register example.com first then setup demo.example.com
but you cant register demo.example.com
except for .name TLD you can regiter firstname.lastname.name and .museum where you can register some.thing.museumBashar Al-Abdulhadi - KuwaitNET Internet Services Serving customers since 1997

If you want to be clever, you can do things like this:
star-trek-cat.who-loves-the-b.org
st.ar-trek.ca/t.who-loves/the-borg
Not a lot of use other than being clever, though.
