While the total length of a domain name may be up to sixty-four (64) characters including the .com, the only characters allowed are letters, digits (numbers), and the dash (-). A domain name cannot, however, begin or end with a dash. The “www” which almost always comes before the domain name in a web-site address is not, in fact, part of the domain name. It has simply become a standard practice to write “www.” in front of a domain name. Domain names can be registered with any ICANN accredited Registrar. However, you can register a domain name through Elephant Host.com. We use the ICANN accredited Registrar NameSilo and we can help with every aspect of the domain registration process.
