See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hostname for a start about host name definitions.From this reference: "The Internet standards (Requests for Comments) for protocols mandate that component hostname labels may contain only the ASCII letters 'a' through 'z' (in a case-insensitive manner), the digits '0' through '9', and the hyphen ('-'). The original specification of hostnames in RFC 952, mandated that labels ** could not start** with a digit or with a hyphen, and must not end with a hyphen." Note that hyphen (a.k.a. dash) is permitted.
