World’s Longest Domain Name
http://www.thelongestdomainnameintheworldandthensomeandthensomemoreandmore.com/
claims to be the world’s longest domain name.
But this nifty site would disagree. It’s home for a list of the world’s longest things: http://thelongestlistofthelongeststuffatthelongestdomainnameatlonglast.com/long2.html
The longest legal domain names are 63 characters, not including the domain suffix .co.uk or prefix http:// and www. Of course you can have longer domain names if you add country extensions:
http://www.llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogochuchaf.org.uk
which has 81 characters, but the actual domain name is still 63 characters. The unique thing about this name is that it is actually one real word, named after a Welsh village.
The longest overall domain address appears to be 263 characters:

But apparently domain addresses can be much longer, like this one over 1700 characters:
