I'm only using an example URL i'm not trying to advertise. Just... using some example.

(spoiler you won't find any.) A hostname may only contain the letters 'A' to 'Z' (case does not matter), '0' to '9', and a hyphen. (internationalization extended domain names a little bit, still not to include an underscore.) Last edited by Wiz126; 27/06/13 10:15 PM.
