Domain Name Guidelines and Limitations

Introduction

When deciding on a domain name, it is crucial to follow specific guidelines and constraints to guarantee compatibility and accessibility across diverse systems. In this section, we present the domain name length requirements and character limitations for our domain registration system at ordinaldomains.io.

Domain Length Requirements

To maintain a balance between usability and potential growth, domain names must have a minimum length of 4 characters (inclusive) and a maximum length of 32 characters (also inclusive). These requirements have been thoughtfully selected to address specific issues related to domain name length.

Avoiding Short Domain Names: Mandating a minimum domain name length of 4 characters assists in reserving more space for future domain registrations. Allowing domain names to be excessively short could result in a limited number of available combinations, which could contribute to domain name scarcity and heightened competition for short domain names.

Preventing Excessively Long Domain Names: Capping domain names at a maximum of 32 characters ensures that they do not become overly long, which could lead to difficulties in various systems. Extremely long domain names can be challenging to remember, type, and display on devices with limited screen space. Moreover, they could potentially create compatibility issues, as some platforms may not support domain names exceeding a certain length.

Character Limitations

At the present time, our domain registration system at ordinaldomains.io supports only English letters (both uppercase and lowercase) and numbers (0-9) as valid characters for domain names. This restriction exists to ensure compatibility with various systems and devices, and to mitigate potential issues with character encoding or interpretation.

Conclusion

By complying with these domain name requirements and character limitations, users can be certain that their chosen domain names are compatible with a broad range of systems and readily accessible to users globally. As the domain registration system at ordinaldomains.io evolves, we may consider additional character support and features to further improve the flexibility and versatility of domain names.
