Helpful Hints

• A domain name can be up to 63 characters long excluding the dot and characters used to identify the top-level domain extension (i.e. .COM, .NET, .INFO, etc.)
• Valid characters in a domain name include letter, numbers and hyphens "-". The domain name must start with and end with a letter or number.
• "http://" and "www." are not part of a domain name. Instead they are used with your domain name to form a URL (Universal Resource Locator) that can be used by web browsers to find your site on the World Wide Web.
