Can I use spaces, hyphens or an & symbol in my domain name?

You cannot use spaces or an & symbol in a registered domain name. Letters, numbers and hyphens are generally allowed, but a hyphen cannot appear at the beginning or end of the name. Some extensions impose additional restrictions, including on particular hyphen positions.

If your business name contains spaces or symbols, choose a simplified version. For example, for “Anna & Matthew”, you could check names such as “annaandmatthew” or “anna-matthew”. Before registering, check the extension’s rules and read through the complete name carefully. Choose something that is easy to say and type, without relying on unsupported characters.
