There are lots of areas of search engine optimization that aren’t always clear. Did you know that domain names are legally not allowed to be over 63 characters in length? Did you know that some domain names are sold for more than ten million dollars, or that you’re far more likely to be able to find a domain with your name in if you’re a female, because most domains with male names are already owned by someone else?

Those are just a few of the interesting little facts worth thinking about when you’re selecting your domain name and picking your web hosting. There are so many web hosting companies out there, and so many domain names to choose from. The shortest possible domain names are three letters long, but you’ll be lucky to find one that’s still available! The most expensive domain names end in dot-com, as you’d expect, and in dot-cn, the domain addresses for China.

If you’re looking to buy a domain name, and you’re seeking out the best web hosting deals, play around on their website first. Nobody will know if you pick your favorite web host and spend a little time trying to find the longest or shortest web address in the world – see if you can get yourself a bargain, before you get all serious.
