I know I have seen dashes and underscores in domain names, but have
never seen one with an apostrophe - is it possible?

Many thanks,

Jason

Seeing you are asking in an aus.* newsgroup, I'll assume you are asking in
relation to Autstralia. Australian domain names are governed by auDA
(www.auda.org.au).

The short answer is "no". See rule 3B in Schedule A at

Why would you want to - there's so much potential for error when
typing in the URL (apostrophe left out, misplaced, wrong symbol, etc
etc).

The simpler the URL the better.

Pretty useless. Your users wouldn't even remember it.

If you wanted to sell it it would be worth barely 5 cents.
Even if you could register it. :P
