Longest web-domain name

?% | 1

I came across this site for a Welsh town:

http://llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.co.uk/

Apparently in Welsh the word means: St Mary's Church in the Hollow of the White Hazel near a Rapid Whirlpool and the Church of St. Tysilio near the Red Cave

It claims to be the longest on the web. Anyone know of anything longer?

Also post any clever or unique domain names.

I've heard of that town before, but I figure I'm still a bit intimidated by the fact that there exists a language where it's completely legal to write four L's in a row.

Consider yourself hugged.

At the same time, we haven't developed such mind-boggling words as Wapenstilstandsonderhandelingen or Brandschadenersatzleistung. What I heard, anyways, was that the name of the town was changed and the domain purchased in the first place for the sake of drawing attention to and maintaining the town('s beauty).

I'll believe in anything if you'll just believe in anything

Another one of those could be... oh heck I don't remember anymore :P The one that's about the captain of the boat on the Donau, or maybe the hat of the captain of the boat on the Donau? Who knows that one? I am curious now :P

Meinst du das: Donaudampfschifffahrtskapitänspatent? ;)

cu, w0lf.

ps: yes, according to the new german orthography, this is totally correct spelled.

Naturally, I love Jesus very much. I love him so much that I'd like to crucify him all over again.

Re: Longest web-domain name

One of the longest english words derives from a Greek word which is literally a string of adjectives describing a body part.

osseocarnisanguineoviscericartilaginonervomedullary

Literally, "of bone, flesh, blood, organs, gristle, nerve, and marrow"

Brandschadenersatzleistung.

Isn't the German language wonderful? There are not many languages where you can concatenate four substantives to contruct a word that says exactly what you mean.

Go German :-)

Japanes also is such a language. But that's very disturbing for learners because it's kanji after kanji ;) And they tend to make spoken shortenings out of it which makes it even more disunderstandable.

Its domain name is several digits of pi. I just found it on the web one day. I don't know if its longer than yours, I didn't bother counting, but it is cool.
