Thanks. but,
From RFC 952
A "name" (Net, Host, Gateway, or Domain name) is a text string up
to 24 characters drawn from the alphabet (A-Z), digits (0-9), minus
sign (-), and period (.). Note that periods are only allowed when
they serve to delimit components of "domain style names".
No blank or space characters are permitted as part of a
name. No distinction is made between upper and lower case. The first
character must be an alpha character [Relaxed in RFC 1123] . The last
character must not be a minus sign or period.
