Domain alphabet - Which key strokes are acceptable in domains

[Fleege]

Whats the legal Domain alphabet - Which key strokes are acceptable to use in domains? You know like dash, underscore, dollar sign, I dont know which are ok which not.

Sorry - maybe it should be in the newbie section. Feel free to move.

domain names cannot contain spaces or other punctuation, they may only contain letters, numbers, or dashes. In addition these rules may vary from country to country.. just google for "internet domain rules" and you'll find tons of sites with domain rules and FAq's

letters, numbers, or dashes.

so 0-9 and A-Z and the good old - (dash) That's it...


Thanks

they cannot begin or end with a dash either. Also they can contain two dashes in a row, although maybe not an easy sell.. I own poker--poker.com..ha ha

interesting - two dashes in a row -
It could make for interesting names.

Hmmm. -- could imply missing letters - or insert your own letter with your drty mind...

F--K.com comes to mind but it was taken of course as was g--gle.com
