[doc issue] Incorrect statement on URL length limit #32

Issue description

- URLs cannot be longer than 63 characters, so use short names for subaccount, subdomain, Cloud Foundry org and spaces, and Kyma cluster and namespaces. For example, use “prod” instead of “production”.
states that URLs cannot be longer than 63 characters, which I think is not correct.

One part of a URL is the fully qualified domain name (FQDN), such as www.sap.com. This FQDN is composed of domain labels or simply labels separated by dots, such as www, sap and com in the example. The length limit of the complete FQDN is 255 octets (or bytes), and the length limit of one label is 63 octets according to this source.

A more precise wording might be "Domain labels (such as prod in prod.example.com) cannot be longer than 63 ASCII characters".
