How do I choose a name?

  • Article

Choose a name that uniquely identifies your home server. For example, if your last name is Smith, you might choose SmithFamily to uniquely identify your home server on the Internet. Click Confirm to check if that name is available. If it isn't, try another variation of that name, or perhaps something completely different.

The name you type can contain the following:

  • 63 characters maximum

  • Letters, numbers, or hyphens (-). The name must begin and end with a letter or a number.

Note

You can register only one domain name per Windows Live ID.
