The length of any one label is limited to between 1 and 63 octets. A full domain name is limited to 255 octets (including the separators)." The full domain name may not exceed a total length of 253 characters in its external dotted-label specification

Are you planning on registering a long domain name that might be close to a limit?

If you are then I would advise against it as there are several good reasons not to but the main one is that the longer the domain name then the more likely a person is to make a typo and not reach your site.
