www. I know the maximum length of an url is

Out of curiosity, does anyone know what's the maximum length (in characters) for a domain name?

Let's exclude the www.
I know the maximum length of an url is about 2000 chars. But here I'm more ineterested in just the domain part or the url.

On Wikipedia they say: "The full domain name may not exceed a total length of 253 characters in its external dotted-label specification." But what does that mean?

253 characters is the maximum length of full domain name, including dots: e.g. example.com = 15 characters.
63 characters in the maximum length of a "label" (part of domain name separated by dot). Labels for example.com are com, example and

This is an example of the domain with longest possible label (a fully working website BTW): www.abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijk.com/. The domain name length = 71 characters.

This will be an example of longest domain name: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcde.abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijk.abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijk.abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijk.com
