Not counting the .vi, your domain may be three to 63 characters long. You can't use spaces, so people often either use a dash (virgin-islands.vi), or just push the words together (virginislands.vi).

Domain names can only be letters, numbers, and dashes. No spaces or accents are allowed. You can also, as long as it is composed of (unaccented) letters, numbers and dashes.

Your name can't' begin or end with a dash. It also can't already be taken -- each one is exclusive to the owner, including the one you get.

Don't worry about making a mistake - when you enter your name into the first step, it will be automatically checked. If the name you've picked has any problems, it will alert you.
