Did you know you can register up to 63 characters in a domain name before the dot?

It must be made up of one of the 26 letters of the alphabet, and/or numbers with optional hyphens (-)

You cannot use spaces, punctuation or symbols

So for example you can have a ridiculously long domain such as this:

www.your-longest-domain-name-is-sixty-3-letters-numbers-and-hyphens.com

And if you want an email address...

you can place yourverylongname@ before

your-longest-domain-name-is-sixty-3-letters-numbers-and-hyphens.com

Try fitting that legibly onto your business card!

What can you do with your iPad?

If you visit www.easykey.com on an iPhone you will see a stripped down mobile friendly version of the home page.
