Another practical limit, I tried to register a 60ish character URL, and neither GoDaddy nor NameCheap would allow it.

  You tried to register a domain, not a URL.

  That's a hard standardized limit, not merely a practical limit. Each label in a domain name (the parts after the :// and before the first slash, which are separated by dots) has a limit of 63 characters, and the full length of the domain name is limited to 253 characters.

  In case you were curious, from Wikipedia[1]: > Each label may contain up to 63 characters. The full domain name may not exceed a total length of 253 characters in its external dotted-label specification. In this context "label" means a segment of the name, so in "www.example.com." "www", "example", and "com" are all labels. The next sentence: > In practice, some domain registries may have shorter limits. alludes to your problem somewhat ;) [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_System http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_System

  By character do you mean unicode or ascii?
