What are the valid characters for a domain name and how long can it be?
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. A domain name cannot begin or end with a "-".
* Example: "yourcompany name.com" (incorrect, No spaces allowed)
* Example: "yourcompany-name.com" (correct)
A domain name can be up to 63 characters long -- not including the characters used to identify the Top Level Domain (.lc, .NET.lc, .COM.lc, or .ORG.lc). Do not type the www. before your domain name when registering.
