The Longest Domain Name:
Last week I encountered with a very interesting thing on internet. That is nothing but The longest domain name on internet.
I started typing in randoms words like Googled, Googler etc. Then I started increasing the o's of google, and I found that every domain has been taken. Then finally a searched on google and found that domain name with 59 o's was also taken.Internet domain name allows sixty three characters maximum, it doesn't include .com, .co.in or .UK.
When I googled more on this (the longest domain name), I found some more domains who claims to having the longest domain.
http://3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105820974944592.com/
This domain has the value of pi up to 63 characters after decimal. 3 is the subdomain.
http://www.thelongestdomainnameintheworldandthensomeandthensomemoreandmore.com claims to be the world’s longest domain name. But is it? According to the domain registrars, the longest legal domain name is 63 characters starting with a letter or number and already exist many domain with 63 characters.
The Guinness Book of Records has said it won't record longest domain names as records, "because there's no merit whatsoever in this. It takes little to no effort and is similar to taking the largest number in the world and then adding one to it".
Some other interesting domains are:
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijk.com
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.eu
thisisthelongesteuropeandomainnameallovertheworldandnowitismine.eu
llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyll-llantysiliogogogoch.com
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.eu
thisisthelongesteuropeandomainnameallovertheworldandnowitismine.eu
llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyll-llantysiliogogogoch.com
I am wondering why would anyone register all these domains ? No one can type such a long address in address bar.
Registering a very long domain name is good for a publicity stunt to attract media attention but does nothing to help your visitors remember your domain name.
Nobody will type in these long domains; they are visited by clicking links or selecting from a list.

It would have been better if it was an actual website and not just a page built for the worlds longest domain.

Randon, u know what i am wondering... how can anyone has so much lukkha time to google about such arbit topic :P...and y would anyone wanna know all this? anyway just kidding.. good going... I think this is your first blog post for layman :)... keep blogging
nice observation..as you mentioned,attention grabbing is the driving force for such big and wierd domains.. one advice..try do something better with your time.. :P
I disagree with the 'sarcastic' comments of the two birds above. How many of us have the moral blankness to pursue a hobby so pointless ? I say Randon is the Tarantino of the internet.
P.S. @ Randon : So when do I come for my free pizza ?
randon thanx for visiting my site but no this is the second time u have done or played this old trick well Mr. Randon if u had really visited my site may I ask u sir as to why on both the occassions u did not post ur comments, any way better luck next time:

you have an informative blog, keep it up.
Ha ha ha... this is a good fun. The only problem with this domain name is, whether browser has enough space to type or copy the same...
