The & sign

[bigkendo]

Can't you use the & sign in a domain name ?

only letters, numbers or a dash -

Even if you could...you wouldn't!!

I'm sure B&Q would disagree

Seeing as though they have DIY.com I'm not sure they would be too fussed!

There is no B&Q domain name (it's diy.com)

<damn>Nitro got there first</damn>

HAHA yeah I'm pretty sure they are happy with the fact they have diy.com to be fair

No they would have been happier with b&q.com if they could, judging by the amount of searches it gets.

Well the ampersand indicates a separation in field value pairs as part of a query string in the URL's anyway. Using them in any other way would only unearth a whole load of new issues.

In the last few years they added support for more international characters in domain names (accented latin, chinese, arabic, etc.) - But still no support for additional punctuation like &.

The & character is already used in URL query strings to separate name/value pairs e.g. example.com/mypage.htm?name=John&age=30
