What restrictions are there on choosing a domain name?

The only valid characters for domain names are letters, numbers and hyphens "-". Other characters such as underscores "_" or exclamation points "!" can not be used. In addition, the domain name cannot begin with a hyphen. Domain names can have a maximum of 67 characters, including the .com, .net or .org top-level domain (this means 63 characters before the dot).
