From Alan Braggins
Feedback wondered if
http://llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.co.uk/
really does have the longest domain name on the Web.
The website http://www.ntk.net/longerthanthis/ originally listed only
two longer entries,
www.do.you.think.really.that.we.created.that.host.only.for.fun.horus.ch and
www.a.b.c.d.e.f.g.h.i.j.k.l.m.n.o.p.q.r.s.t.u.v.w.x.y.z.internexus.net.
However, a later issue of NTK includes
http://www.do.you.really.think.that.this.is.the.longest.url.that.you.can.
find.huh.no.I.do.not.think.so.ein.cz and adds: “This correspondence is now
closed. We hope.”
But this in turn was followed by http://listen.the.longest.host.name.you.can.
have.is.255.characters.or.twohundredfiftyfive.if.you.want.to.see.it.in.its.full.glory.
therefore.the.longest.url.better.start.with.a.host.name.which.is.precisely.two.hundred.
fifty.five.characters.long.ok.666.assurdo.com/my.url.is.longer.than.yours

The site concludes that these “are positively the last we have to say on this
matter”.
