Default The World's longest single word domain name

This domain name is said to be the world's longest domain name.

llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysilio gogogochuchaf.org.uk

It has 70 charactors including org.uk.

Here are a list of some very long domain names

"www.thelongestdomainnameintheworldandthensomeandth ensomemoreandmore.com/"

"www.llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyll-llantysiliogogogoch.com/" named after a Welsh Village, claims to be the world’s longest domain name

"3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375 105820974944592.com/:" the 3 is a subdomain

"www.abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrst uvwxyzabcdefghijk.com/:" a free email service


"www.iamtheproudownerofthelongestlongestlongestdoma innameinthisworld.com"

The World's Longest Domain Name
The most # of characters for a domain/sub domain or URL that will be suppoerted is 263 including all extensions and the "Http" etc. We created one here:

"thelongestlistofthelongeststuffatthelongestdomainn ameatlonglast.com/wearejustdoingthistobestupidnowsincethiscangoonfor everandeverandeverbutitstilllookskindaneatinthebro wsereventhoughitsabigwasteoftimeandenergyandhasnor ealpointbutwehadtodoitanyways.html"


the 264th character gets trunicated.

If you want more info please visit:

"llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysilio gogogoch.co.uk/"
"www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2005/06/the_worlds_longest_domain_name.html"
Or just google it.


I would never in my wildest dreams want any of these domain names! Because these names are too long and too hard to remember, I really dought it, if anyone can remember them with out memorising them for quite some time.

So what do you guys think?
