Softlayer safe name length After extensive testing it would appear that: - anything up to 55 chars seems to be fine. - 56-58 characters you could jclouds exceptions while provisioning. - 59 chars up to around 80 ish you get a provisioned machine with no hostname - if you set the chars at higher than 100(ish) you get an error saying that the maximum length had been exceeded. Someone else please test before merging.
