The longest name in history

[sellbourne]

Hi guys,
I have a domain in Editorial listing in Flippa which is the longest place name in the history .
Which method should i follow the best outcome?

taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateapokaiwhenuakitanatahu.com

The domain you posted has much less than 85 characters.

Also... I'm pretty sure 63 is the maximum number of characters you can have in a name. There's a guy on here who owns hundreds of names that length.

63 is the max number of letters.

Here is a long one was developed at one time. howmanypeoplepaidonedollartoseehowmanypeoplepaidonedollar.com

Don't forget about the right side of the dot. There are plenty of gtlds that are longer than 3 (com). Example.... .international.

Ah.... The domain is referencing the longest place name in the world:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tauma...pukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu

That name does have 85 letters in it. Your domain doesn't, and so it isn't the actual place name.

Kind of kills any value, in my opinion.

Upon further reading, looks like OP went with a shorter version as noted in the Wiki entry:

"The New Zealand Geographic Placenames Database, maintained by Land Information New Zealand (LINZ), uses the somewhat shorter (57-character) name "Taumatawhakatangihangakōauauotamateapōkaiwhenuakitānatahu"."

At least that gives the domain name some legitimacy. I'm still not sure if there's any value there... Maybe promote it to some New Zealand travel companies?

Good luck with the sale!

Correction.... ntlds not gtlds.
