Comment:

 The "_" character isn't allowed in hostnames, so that's never going in.
 Use Google and you'll find an RFC on it.
 The '.' character is used to separate out parts of a FQDN, so again,
 that's a no go.
 Finally, we don't allow '-' because it's not recommended in URLs. It's
 much easier to tell someone to go to myfabulousblog.wordpress.com rather
 than "my dash fabulous dash blog.wordpress.com"
