Very often, if you can’t get the domain name you want, the domain name registrar will suggest alternate forms of the name you typed. For example, if you wanted widget.com, and it was taken (of course, it is), it might suggest formats such as:

• thewidget.com
• mywidget.com
• widgets.com

Domain names can be of any length up to 67 characters. However, there appears to be some disagreement about whether a long or short domain name is better.
